Cloud Server

One of the most important criteria of choosing your cloud server provider, is the location of the cloud itself. Having your cloud server located continents away from you will add unnecessary network latency and your experience will be very slow and unpleasant. Best, is to choose a cloud server located in a geographical area close to you with automatic replication to another location/continent away from you.

Cloud Benefits

Reduced operating costs

One key benefit to the cloud is affordability in price, with flexible month-to-month options to help you better manage your cash flow.
Comparing the costs of servers, maintenance and software updates, cloud has its benefits.
SAAS models such as Microsoft 365 allow you to up or downgrade your investment based on the growth of your business.

Productivity

Business-class hosted email with real time smart phone sync, collaboration via audio, video and IM using MS Teams, simultaneous editing of files, so you can have multiple staff working on the same document without worrying about version control, are just a few tools and features that cloud offers. Most successful businesses are those that use latest technologies and innovations.

Best Uptime

Even if cloud computing seems difficult, it really has way fewer issues than other infrastructures. Since the cloud runs on its own servers through a company whose only job is to make sure the cloud is up and functional, it’s usually a lot more reliable than other IT Infrastructures. High availability and redundancy of cloud computing makes its applications always up and accessible.

Data Security

A major concern of every business, is the security of its data.
Cloud providers implement baseline protections for their platforms and the data they process, such authentication, access control, and encryption. Two Factor Authentication using employees’ cellphones to get access to the data is just one example of a security policy used in the cloud.

No Hardware Required

For smaller firms, maintaining, upgrading and troubleshooting hardware issues might become a burden. With adoption of the cloud no hardware is kept on-site. This reduces operational costs, potential downtime and carbon footprint. Along with 24/7 availability, cloud is a cost effective and reliable approach for small to medium business.

Scalability

Cloud computing offers companies more flexibility overall as opposed to hosting on a local server. If you need extra storage or bandwidth, a cloud-based service can offer this instantly, rather than going through a complex changes to your IT infrastructure. Cloud scalability and flexibility can greatly impact your overall business efficiency and productivity.
