Put simply, when we talk about the cloud, we refer to software and infrastructure that is located off-premises and is accessible via any internet connection. Utilising cloud services grants access to all employees, wherever they are, as if they were in the office.
Nowadays, most savvy businesses use off-site data centres in some capacity. Whether you choose to colocate in a data centre or simply use other services which require a data centre, such as cloud hosting, Backup as a Service (BaaS) or Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), you will need a purpose-built facility designed with high availability and security in mind. If you want your IT or telephony servers or business continuity services hosted in a secure and protected environment, third party data centres are the key to removing the associated risks or costs of owning and maintaining the site yourself.
Staff and data requirements will always fluctuate in your business. Our Cloud Solutions ensure that you can scale up or down at any point to match your changing requirements as your workforce grows.
For a business, network downtime can cost a lot due to chain reactions of negative events such as: lost customers; decreased employee productivity; data loss or failure; lost revenue. When it comes to network downtime, it’s prudent to implement a proactive plan of prevention.
