Is “The Cloud” the best option for your business?
“The Cloud” question is not a simple question of whether or not you should move to the cloud. In fact, there is a whole range of choices across the spectrum of data and software locations.
At Communicat we have an expanded view across the hosting spectrum. We will recommend the best hosting system to suit each task and each client.
We offer a range of on-premise and cloud hosting options including:
- “On premise” – server and devices based on your own premises
- Private cloud – private spectrum
- Public cloud – shared spectrum
- Hybrid – combinations of the above.
We can design a hosting option that will be best suited to your requirements taking into account a range of important factors including your:
- Functional requirements
- Data security and sovereignty
- Fault tolerance requirement
- High speed connectivity availability
- Mobile access requirement
- Multi-site connectivity
- Software compatibility
- Speed of data access
- Uptime requirements
- Budget
There are many advantages to cloud technology however there are also some weaknesses in certain situations. We will make you aware of big picture so that you can make well-informed decisions before you commit to your system hosting strategy.
Hosting Business Applications in the Cloud
