Cloud Computing

What is Cloud Computing?

In its simplest form, browsing the Internet is a cloud service as is E-mail. You may already have moved on to using specific applications like CRM or Accounting applications which are hosted externally from your building and accessed via a web browser or secure connection. So, Cloud Computing generally means accessing the Internet for files and services rather than local PC's or servers.

How can it benefit your business?

Every business is different but the benefits are:-

reduced maintenance and costs
on demand for services as you need them
scaleable and up to date software
mobile, ideal if you have a remote workforce

The fact is, cloud computing can be a compelling option, but it’s important to decide what’s right for you. Here at Onyx IT we have the benefit of having a huge amount of experience in both traditional ‘on premise’ solutions as well as cloud based services.

Onyx have provided us with an excellent level of service over many years. Nothing is too much trouble for the team at Onyx and the speed at which they respond is very impressive. As well as hands on support and monitoring of our network, Onyx give us advice and guidance on IT storage, systems and back up and will always help us in choosing and setting up new computers and input devices – invaluable, as we no longer have that expertise in-house

We would like to send a big thank you to all at Onyx for such a smooth and professional operation. We did not incur any major problems and everyone is very pleased with the outcome. The new server is excellent and the sorting of email has been brilliant. Any problems we have had Onyx have been available on the telephone and queries have been answered immediately. The upgrade has made a difference to our everyday workload.
