Cloud Computing / Microsoft 365
Cloud computing has been around for decades, but there are still businesses who aren’t taking full advantage of all the cloud has to offer. Imagine working from anywhere at anytime and not buying another server ever again! This can become a reality by moving to the cloud. But what is the cloud and what are my options?
- SaaS Cloud: SaaS, or Software as a Service, products allow you to move to a full cloud environment where all your data is stored in vendor cloud-based applications, leaving your business with no reliance on servers what-so-ever.
- Public Cloud: Some businesses can’t move away from servers, typically due to line of business applications needing them. These servers (and workstations if need be) can be moved to a public cloud, such as Microsoft Azure. Your server expenditures now become operating expenses versus capital expenditures.
- Private Cloud: Another option is to build out your own cloud environment and let C-Forward handle all the infrastructure needs. C-Forward has owned and operated its own datacenter space for years, allowing us to build private clouds for our clients. Like the public cloud, this allows you to budget for operating expenses rather than capital expenditures.
We can help! Moving to the cloud should not be an obstacle and if you feel like it is, you aren’t talking to the right partner. C-Forward has completed hundreds of cloud migrations (as well as cloud-to-cloud migrations), so allow us to guide you on your journey. These are just a few of the advantages to moving your business to the cloud.
- Budget more efficiently by eliminating hardware purchases.
- Offload cyber risk to a partner you can trust.
- Integrate other Microsoft and 3rd party products with ease.
- Email down again? Not when you are using Exchange online!
- Increased security.
- Increased scalability.
- Work from anywhere in the world!
