| “Cloud Computing – Whether you’re on your desktop PC, laptop, Android tablet or an iOS device like the iPad, you will be synched to the same cloud-based Windows desktop.” |
| “What is Cloud Computing?” Most of us use resources delivered through the “cloud” everyday without ever realizing it. Applications such as Google Apps or Google Docs or software services such as Hotmail or Yahoo! Mail are all hosted on someone else’s server and not our own; the services are just delivered through the “cloud” (or the Internet). Some of these services are brought to you free of charge and some you pay for, such as SalesForce.com. The term “cloud” originated from using a cloud shaped symbol when referencing the Internet in many network diagrams. With the adoption of software as a service models (SaaS) across the Internet landscape, many application developers have focused their efforts exclusively on this model as a form of product delivery.“Why am I hearing so much about Cloud Computing lately?” Cost. And ease. In that order. Everyone wants robust features and services without having to pay much for them (or as little as possible). Selling on-premise software these days is tough when you can get a comparable product for less money delivered over a broadband connection. These products are delivered in the cloud, or from a datacenter, where the cost of hardware, energy, bandwidth and management are spread out over a number of subscribers, bring the cost down for you.“Can Cloud Computing Benefit my Business?” Absolutely! Group 4 Networks can provision your very own cloud backup and computer support in Toronto. We have the ability, through partner relationships, of enabling cloud computing for your enterprise. We can image your existing server deployment to a virtualized volume and provision those servers in the cloud (or datacenter). The datacenter is inherently more secure, provides redundancy, offers unlimited storage capacity, and more often than not is less expensive than a server infrastructure (even a single server) deployed in your organization or facility. |
