Information Overload
You could read articles for days and still be none the wiser, so it can often be easier to hand over the running of your IT to a specialist provider. To help you select the right partner, though, it’s useful to have at least a brief idea of how cloud computing can help your business.
What is the cloud?
Most business people will have heard the expression ’cloud computing’, even though relatively few people understand what it actually means. In a nutshell, instead of purchasing expensive computer hardware and software and maintaining it within your company’s network., Sservices are provided on demand via the internet. This means you only ever pay for services you require and you can easily scale your capabilities to meet the needs of your business.
What services can be cloud based?
There are three types of cloud computing,; Infrastructure as a Service, Software as a Service and Platform as a Service. Most likely you will use cloud services on a daily basis without giving it much thought, and in most cases this will be more than enough to run your business – for example, cloud-based services could be used to securely store a company’s working files.
Where to start?
For any organisation considering moving services to the cloud, hosted email can be a good starting point. Microsoft Exchange is the premier choice for business email; with Hosted Exchange 2010 from Fruit Mobile you can access this without any upfront investment. In addition, that industry-leading quality comes with complete peace of mind over the security of and access to your data.
