Concerned about cloud services and security? Looking for cloud solutions? Call IT Radix.

What is “Cloud Solutions”?

Cloud Computing is new; it’s so new, that there isn’t a clear definition yet. But here’s how Wikipedia defines it:

Cloud solutions is the use of computing resources (hardware and software) that are delivered as a service over a network (typically the Internet). Cloud solutions relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network.

No Need for a Server in Your Office

The basic concept is that you do not need to buy expensive servers. Instead, your server or servers will be in the “cloud” and you will access them via the Internet. Since IT Radix is a cloud server provider, we would manage your servers in the “cloud” for you.

Depending upon your business needs, cloud servers could provide some or all of your computing needs such as email, line-of-business applications and data storage.

Is Moving to the Cloud a Smart Move?

It’s hard to ignore the potential cost savings; however, you need to consider a number of things before jumping to cloud services and solutions. Things you need to consider include:

  • The reliability of your Internet connection
  • The type of help desk support you want
  • Security
  • Your applications such as accounting, CRM or other line-of-business applications
  • Devices that you may wish to use such as scanners, printers, iPads, etc.

Cloud Solutions Eliminate Capital Expenditure

Your up-front capital cost will be lower or perhaps even zero. Instead, you pay a monthly fee for the use of the server and its support.

Grows With You, Without Big Capital Costs

If your business is growing, cloud solutions will scale nicely with you. You can increase usage without additional capital expense. Just pay for the extra users or storage space when you need them.

So What Should You Move to the Cloud First?

We recommend taking it one step at a time. You can test the waters (or the clouds). Moving parts of your IT infrastructure in a controlled, well-managed manner.

Here are some places to start moving into the Cloud:
