”Cloud computing” is a popular buzz term people use to describe internet-based computing. Instead of accessing data and software applications from your computer or server, you access them online. For example, email services like Gmail and Hotmail are cloud-based, whereas Microsoft Outlook is desktop-based.
For starters, you have more options. For example, you have a choice between hosting your data and software in-house and using cloud-based services. For a lot of businesses, cloud services are a good fit, because it’s easier to share, access and sync information across multiple devices and locations.
All of your applications might not be ready for the Cloud. We’ll examine every aspect of your IT infrastructure to figure out which data and applications make sense to move to the Cloud, and which should remain in-house. Nexxtep’s experience in managing both on-premise applications and cloud-based applications makes us a smart option for a transitioning business.
