Why Your Small Business Needs

The Cloud

First, What Is Cloud Computing?

Cloud Computing Is a Form of SaaS

Cloud computing was originally thought of as Software

as a Service (SaaS). The majority of these paid or free

SaaS services such as Gmail, Google Docs, Drop Box

and Salesforce.com are rooted on the web with cloud

based technology.

No need to purchase equipment or software

The cloud is made up of a cluster of highlyexpansive, enterprise level web and database servers all interconnected and redundant for achieving 100% uptime.The cloud is mostly a subscription based model. There is no need to invest in specialized equipment or various software packages.

The Key is Virtualization

The uptime and scalability necessary to service millions of users is grounded in virtualization.

Multiple Servers Run On One Physical Box

The cloud enables IT professionals to run multiple

single purpose servers virtually on one physical hardware box.

The Cloud Reduces the Data Center Footprint

Larger companies realize they can reduce their data

center equipment by way of consolidation via server

virtualization. Innovative companies started building

systems around hosted consumer based applications giving rise to Google Docs and Salesforce.com.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is another cloud based service. Users can take advantage of a completely hosted server infrastructure model.

IaaS Is Affordable and Efficient

There is no need to purchase larger server farms. It is

a true pay for use model in which you can increase or

decrease your computing resources as necessary.

IaaS is Ideal for Small Businesses

It works well with seasonal business fluctuations and

with new startups needing capital to fund their mission,not their infrastructure.

Should You be Using The Cloud?

The answer is yes! It can help you scale your business

by paying only for what you use. It allows your business to grow without large capital

expenditures.

The Cloud Means Your Data Is Safe

You have the knowledge that your company has a

reliable technology backbone and that your data is safe

and secure.

No Worries About Upgrades and Updates

The cloud enables small business owners to enjoy the

latest technology without the need for upgrades and

updates. It also ensures your key programs and files

are accessible when you need them.

The Cloud Adds Scalability

Both start-ups and established small businessesneed the cloud with IaaS, SaaS or a combinationof both for scalability, reliability, and

accessibility.

your targeted business goals, both now and in the

future.
