Cloud Computing

Move your office to the cloud. Hosted email, desktop and applications to set your business free.

WHAT IS THE CLOUD?

Imagine being able to run a secure, mobile computer network that fits the needs of your business to a tee, but doesn’t require expensive hardware or frequent management and maintenance? Well, thanks to the cloud you can!

You’re probably already using the cloud in your day-to-day life.
Online banking websites, email providers like Hotmail and Gmail, as well as the file-sharing site Dropbox, live in the cloud. These sites store data online, meaning you can access your files from any Internet connection.

A business using a cloud-hosted computing system operates in the same way. Instead of hosting files and applications on hardware located in the business’ physical office, data is housed in a virtual server.

For many businesses, this can be a more affordable and flexible way to manage their IT needs.

Should you move to the Cloud?

There are quite a few advantages to moving your business to the Cloud –

  • Save money – running your computer systems from a virtual network means you’ll no longer have to invest in expensive hardware (and keeping this up-to-date) or worry about regular maintenance costs.
  • Free up space in your office – there is no longer the need for big and bulky servers.
  • Go mobile – cloud hosting enables you to access your data, applications and email from anywhere, on any device or platform.


There’s a lot of excitement surrounding cloud hosting. But is it right for your business?

1. Would you like to be able to access email from anywhere, have it synced to all your devices (smartphones, iPads, laptops) and be confident that it’s securely backed up all of the time?
2. Do you feel your employees are tied to the office when they could be more productive out on the road or working from home?
3. Do you worry about the ongoing management and maintenance costs of your current IT resources? Are you paying for in-house IT support but only using it sporadically?
4. Does your in-house IT support lack the expertise to fully manage your local equipment?
5. Does investing in expensive hardware seem like money down the drain, particularly when you’re only going to have to upgrade again in a few years?
6. Are you happy with the uptime of your IT equipment and systems?

If you can answer yes to some – or all – of these questions, then moving your computing systems to the cloud could be the right choice for your business.
