What is Cloud Computing
A breakthrough in technology may change the way you think about traditional computer networks. It’s called “Cloud Computing” and could save your business quite a bit of money on software, hardware, upgrades and services. Here is how it works:
-
Instead of purchasing hardware and software to be hosted at your office, cloud computing puts your programs and data on a highly secure “super server” at an offsite data center.
-
These servers have huge amounts of storage space and power that no small business could ever fully utilize.
-
The data center then rents a portion of the space, power and software licenses to multiple businesses, giving you top of the line resources at a fraction of the cost.
-
All you need is an internet connection and you’re in business.
There are 9 reasons why this concept is catching on fast with small to medium size businesses:
-
You have an instant virtual office
-
You’ll save hard dollars on software, hardware and support
-
Less downtime and problems
-
Automatic Disaster Recovery
-
Less expensive to scale your network up or down
-
Hassle-free Software
-
Environmentally friendly
-
No more expensive software upgrades
-
Reduced maintenance.
