There are many benefits associated with using cloud computing for business. Whether you have a single location for your company or if you have many stores or employees who work remotely, having quick access to essential software and files can be highly beneficial. Cloud computing solutions can boost technology resources, making it more cost-effective to grow and expand your business. The value of cloud computing has been proven in recent years, particularly during the pandemic when many industries were forced to pivot in order to maintain their ability to do business. Cloud services can even be used to replace some areas of the IT environment and reduce the need for management services. Synivate can help you to maximize the return on your investment, increase operations capabilities, and even safeguard essential data in the cloud.
What You Need to Know
Before you take the plunge into cloud computing solutions, it is helpful to know a little bit about what can and cannot be done with this type of technology. There are some things that should definitely go into the cloud and others that are not appropriate for use in a cloud service. The industry that you serve may have additional regulations or requirements about using the cloud to boost technology resources or parameters that must be addressed to safeguard essential data in the cloud. Our team of highly trained and experienced technology technicians and engineers can work with you to find innovative solutions designed to increase operations capabilities and help you get the most out of cloud services. We can even provide ongoing 24/7 monitoring and management support to reduce the impact on your in-house IT department or to reduce your Information Technology needs.
Software is one of the most popular things to put in the cloud. It allows companies to provide programs, including productivity, customer relationship management, graphics design, marketing solutions, and other applications to their team any time or anywhere they might need it. Other applications, including proprietary software shared by multiple employees across different locations, can also be supported through the use of cloud computing solutions. Hardware can also be put in the cloud, as many businesses are now putting their entire IT infrastructure in the cloud. This allows organizations to quickly increase operations capabilities so they can grow and adapt to a changing business structure without having to constantly invest in new storage devices and equipment. This can also facilitate an easy method for sharing files instead of investing in a new in-house server.
IT Operations in the Cloud
One of the most beneficial implementations of cloud computing solutions is to use them to streamline and more efficiently perform IT operations. Next to software and hardware, crucial IT operations are the next most popular use of cloud services. Instead of having to backup all your essential data, many companies will choose to work with Synivate to perform daily or real-time data backups via the cloud, storing multiple copies for fast and comprehensive recovery. It can be difficult for some companies to figure out what to put in the cloud, particularly if security is a concern. Our team can help you identify the data that would be best to store in the cloud and ensure that sensitive data is protected, as well.
There are three primary types of cloud computing that can be used to support your business needs, including public, private, and hybrid cloud solutions. Public services are primarily used for non-sensitive data, such as Google Drive, DropBox, or Amazon Drive. They can be an excellent solution for quickly storing and accessing photos, videos, software applications, or making backups, depending on the requirements of your organization and the industry that you serve. Private cloud computing is used widely in the business sector, taking advantage of dedicated hardware and software to protect sensitive data and offer increased security compared to other methods. A hybrid is a system that uses both private and public cloud computing solutions to reduce costs, expedite delivery of essential data, and provide extra security as needed.
