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.
