Cloud for Business

Cloud Services for SMB/SME • As the owner of a small/medium business, cloud technologies are certainly worth considering. They carry the technical impact that an in-house solution can deliver, without the extra cost of administration, space used, or purchasing hardware. But what exactly can you expect from the cloud?

Team Collaboration Cloud Examples • The ability to work together on a single project, no matter where you are in the world, is what communications technology was originally designed for; consider John McCarthy’s concepts from the 50s. Finding the right tool for the right job, though, requires some research.

Cloud eCommerce Examples • The ability to lower costs, respond quickly to any market opportunity and accelerate sales are why many businesses are turning to cloud-based eCommerce applications. There are countless eCommerce solutions available, so again, some research is needed beforehand.

Cloud Accounting Examples • Small business owners no longer need to purchase expensive and time-consuming accounting software, thanks to cloud accounting services. The benefits of accounting in the cloud are well documented: better security, disaster recovery, and accessible data. But what’s available for you?

Data Management Cloud Examples • Data management in the cloud is more than just online storage. A good data management cloud service offers multiple platform access, collaborations, sharing, syncing with devices and operating systems, as well as good value for money and a secure digital environment.

Email Providers for SMBs • Email has become one of the most critical services of the modern business. Customers are won and lost through email, co-workers are better informed and can collaborate, and without email, your company’s growth is severely limited.

Green Cloud Providers • Although powering a huge datacentre may not appear to be very ‘green’, the environmental costs of cloud computing have been assessed by Sustainablebrands.com and found to be of benefit to those businesses looking to reduce the impact on the environment.

Public Cloud Benefits • Public clouds are the standard cloud models, whereby a service provider makes its resources available to the public, and multiple clients, over the Internet – hence Public Cloud. Google Drive, Microsoft Office 365, and so on are all examples of a public cloud.

Private Cloud Benefits • Contrary to public clouds, a private cloud is dedicated to a single organisation offering better control over the cloud setup, better security and privacy, virtualisation, and better resource allocation.

Hybrid Cloud Benefits • A hybrid cloud setup is a best-of-both-worlds approach. You have a mixture of in-house computing with server hardware and software while using both types of cloud-based services. An example is a company with its own server for storage and also using webmail.

DIY Cloud

Why Would You Consider a Do It Yourself Cloud? • While using one of the many services available is perfectly fine, a small business or home user may want a little more than the service is offering. That little extra could come in the form of far more space without monthly payments or complete control over the cloud contents.
