In Pc-Experts our cloud suites offerings continues to evolve as we attempt to take full advantage of technologies that become increasingly available via the Cloud.

• On-demand servers, no wait time to provision.
• No need to purchase new servers or move infrastructure from one location to another.
• Focus company resources on business problems rather than infrastructure maintenance.
• Email security solution aimed at saving you money, providing superior protection and being simple to use.
• Cloud Storage
• Software as a Service (SaaS)
• Offsite Disaster recovery
• Desktop as a Service (Virtualisation providing flexibility while maintaining the security of your data)
• Dedicated Hosting
• Cloud Backup - File level backups - Image based backups
• High availability

The bottom line is by simplified management for IT - not managing single instances of applications installed on each computer, not experiencing computer issues, not having aging hardware, BUT centralized, simplified management and maintenance will save your business money on ongoing management and support.

You can also reduce costs in hardware by introducing the "Bring your own Device" policy (BYOD) and/or utilising thin client technology!!!
BYOD is a phrase that has become widely adopted to refer to employees who bring their own computing devices - such as smartphones, laptops, tablets and PDAs - to their place of work and use those devices to access privileged company information and applications.

Business perspective: A business that adopts a BYOD policy allows itself to save money on high-priced devices that it would normally be required to purchase for their employees. Employees may take better care of devices that they view as their own property. Companies can take advantage of newer technology faster.
Employees' perspective: Employees who work for a business with a BYOD policy are able to decide on the technology that they wish to use for work rather than being assigned a company device. This is thought to improve morale and productivity. Exclusive control features is given to the employee.

Public Cloud Solutions

A could strategy for one organisation may see the business move certain services or applications off site to be delivered and managed completely by a third party, such as
e-mail or e-mail filtering. In this case the business may decide that it doesn't want to spend the money or the time implementing and managing these environments.
Types of Cloud Computing:

• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
• Platform as a Service (PaaS)
• Security as a Service (SECaaS)
• Software as a Service (SaaS) also know as (On-Demand Software)
• Network as a Service (NaaS)
• Desktop as a Service (Virtualisation providing flexibility while maintaining the security of your data)
• Storage as a Service (STaaS)
• Data as a Service (DaaS)

In the business model using software as a service, users are provided access to application software and databases. The Cloud providers manage the infrastructure and platforms on which applications run.

End Users access cloud-based applications through a web browser or a light-weight desktop or mobile app while the business software and user's data are stored on servers at a remote location. Cloud computing allows enterprises to get their applications up and running faster, with improved manageability and less maintenance, and enables IT to more rapidly adjust resources to meet fluctuating and unpredictable business demand.

Private Cloud Solutions

A private Cloud solution could involve a business operating infrastructure such as servers (Physical or Virtual) that are not owned or managed by them, but also not accessible by another organisation. Alternatively private cloud solutions can involve the customer purchasing and managing their own environment but doing so with the scalability and flexibility, so that server load can increase or decrease to support fluctuations in workloads processing requirements.

Hybrid Cloud Solutions

Hybrid solutions leverage a combination of on-premise, private and/or public cloud infrastructures. For instance, during normal operations services are delivered from the private infrastructure, however during peak load times storage or compute resources may be delivered using public infrastructure which can be accessed only as needed. By utilizing "hybrid cloud" architecture, companies and individuals are able to obtain degrees of fault tolerance combined with locally immediate usability without the dependency of internet connectivity. Hybrid cloud architecture requires both on-premises and off-site server based cloud infrastructure.

Pc-Experts will help you design the right cloud solution to meet your unique business needs and prepare you for that change!!!
