The cloud can be part of your long-term strategy.
Reduce Your Hardware And Increase Your Resources
At this point, we have all heard about cloud computing services and the many benefits that they offer to a business. That is all true; cloud-based services deliver several features that can transform the way you do business. The cloud is much more than just another place to store information.
Under the right circumstances, your cloud platform can be a launchpad for almost every aspect of your business. It can be integrated into your disaster recovery planning, your security precautions, your unified communications, and many other managed IT services.
In the simplest terms, the cloud is a remote or on-premise web application that allows you to store and remotely access your information and operating systems from almost anywhere. This platform delivers a secure place to keep your data and even to run your systems from. It requires a data center that can be managed locally or by a third-party service provider.
The cloud is typically offered in three different types:
- Private Cloud: This version involves an intimate level of ownership. You will have your own cloud environment that is managed according to your particular specifications. This is the most customizable option for the needs of your business.
- Public Cloud: This type of platform offers the most storage space and computing power. It is managed according to the specifications of the third party that is providing your public cloud services, but it is also typically less expensive and offers simple scalability.
- Hybrid Cloud: This service is one way that you can get the best of both worlds. You can blend the public and private environments, storing information where you want depending on its application.
We don’t just offer cloud services.
We provide cloud solutions for your particular situation.
We Will Manage Your Third-Party Relationships And Applications
When your business decides to take advantage of the public or hybrid cloud options, you will need to partner with a public cloud vendor. There are multiple third-party providers out there, and their massive data centers provide reliability and stability with many redundancies. Stability Networks can manage the entire relationship for you and be your single point of contact for public cloud services. We have established relationships and experience with Microsoft’s Azure Cloud and Amazon’s Web Services for the cloud.
There are multiple applications of cloud computing that extend beyond just storage and remote access:
- Platform as a Service (PaaS): This is most beneficial for companies that want to develop, launch, and maintain business applications. It is typically used for clients like software developers and technology providers.
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): This is an environment where your software and storage all exist in one cloud platform. Your employees will be able to work from their desktops remotely, and all documents will be accessible from any pre-approved device.
- Software as a Service (SaaS): Cloud-hosted software is accessed through your internet browser. You can choose the number of licenses you want and rely on us to manage all of the updates as they come.
Personal Attention Can Make A World Of Difference
The cloud is a flexible platform. The version that is best for your business will need to be shaped and crafted by an experienced service provider.
All of the cloud services offer:
- Reduced Hardware Costs
- Greater Mobility
- Scalability
- High-Volume Data Availability
- Professional Security Measures
Those are all features that every business or other organization needs. The cloud is a powerful tool, but like most advanced tools, it requires an in-depth level of expertise to fully take advantage of all its opportunities and capabilities.
Leveraging data centers and cloud technology without an expert hand to help you navigate is like trying to fly a plane without any training. There’s a good chance you won’t even get off the ground. Stability Networks has the expertise you need and the experience with cloud vendors to find the solution that best fits your particular requirements.
When we say we are cloud computing experts, we mean that the team at Stability Networks is smart enough to look at your business and make critical decisions based on your long-term goals and the specifications of your workplace.
In some cases, finding the best solution for you might mean avoiding the cloud altogether. In the past, Stability Networks has been hired to migrate a company’s information and services off of the cloud and back to on-premise servers. They had been sold on the advantages of cloud computing by a service provider that didn’t take the time to understand their situation:
- Their geographical location made it difficult to ensure consistent internet performance.
- Their business required the routine download of massive files.
