Cloud vs. on-premise
There are several reasons why you would choose to store your business applications in the Cloud rather than on-premise, including:
Saving physical space
On-premise business applications are usually hosted on-site on computers or physical servers, which often require a dedicated room at your place of work with cabinets, wires, equipment and a temperature controlled environment.
However, there’s no need for physical servers at your premise when the software is in the Cloud, nor do you have to maintain them. This not only saves space but gives you far better resilience and disaster recovery options.
24/7 Cloud access
Often, the only way to access on-premise applications would be in the office or through a VPN via a laptop. However, even the most advanced technicians sometimes struggle with unstable VPN connections and security risks. All you need is an internet connection for secure login to your applications.
Scalable subscription models
Most Cloud software providers and services work on a subscription model. This means there are no upfront investment costs or ongoing expenses for buying and maintaining on-premise servers. Instead, you’re paying to rent from datacentres. The economies of scale allow you to scale up or down according to your business needs, offering you the flexibility at more affordable rates.
Low-maintenance
Considerably reduced IT administration. Most updates are automatic, easy to roll out, automatic and cause minimal disruption – if any – to business operations.
Security and compliance
The flexibility of the Cloud means you have multiple layers of security and resilience, even in worst-case scenarios. As well as data encryption, security updates and active defence against cyber-attacks, Cloud offers GDPR compliance as the data is only stored in UK data centres.
In summary, Cloud computing helps your business stay secure, agile and scalable. Ask us about how we can help you get the benefits of the Cloud.
Secure Online Backups
It’s critically important to have a robust backup solution in place. We offer online backup services that can back up all types of files, including databases, such as Exchange and SQL. The backup software is compatible with different types of operating systems like Windows, MAC and Linux.
- All backup data is encrypted
- Unlimited retention policy
- Works on Windows, Mac OSX and Linux
- Data storage and transfer totally secure
How does it work?
We will install the backup software on the server and configure it by selecting the specific data you need to be protected and the frequency which the backup needs to run.
If you need to restore your data, we can restore individual file(s) or whole machine images.
