Cloud Computing

The future of IT lies in the clouds

The cloud is an analogy used for the internet- as our connection speeds get faster and faster, accessing data and programs will be as simple as if that data was stored on your local computer. Some benefits of cloud computing can be seen below:

Initial Cost

With cloud computing there is no need to outlay large amounts for servers or desktop PC’s. Servers can be hosted in the cloud and thin clients can be used to access data and programs. Also costs associated with software can be spread over time with service costs.

Flexibility in working

Cloud services are accessed securely through your web browser giving you and your staff access to data from anywhere at anytime, from any computer- implementing a flexible, mobile environment is easy.

eStorm has partnered with Telstra to offer their range of T-Suite plans to move your office documents and email to the cloud. Plans start from $7.90. Please inquire here for more information.

Data Storage

One of the major beneifts of cloud computing is data storage. Data is held in specialised data centres that focus on the integrity and up time of your data. Should in the unlikely event a crisis occur, backups are taken regularly to ensure you’re back online with minimal downtime.

Backup

Having your backups held off site in a secure location no longer needs to be a great expense. Have the assurance that your data is safe and secure both on site and at a remote location. Access to these backups is easy and recovery is fast- especially compared to other methods of backups.

Have your Data backed up securely at eStorm from as little as $60 per month. Inquire here for more information.

Cloud computing is the way of the future in IT, and major suppliers of hardware and software such as Intel and Microsoft are investing heavily in this area, however in order to reap the benefits of cloud computing, a fast internet connection with both download and upload speeds is usually required.
