Cloud Computing and Hosting Solutions

What is cloud computing?

Simply put, cloud computing is the delivery of computing services – including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics and intelligence – over the Internet (“the cloud”).


Cloud computing offers lower costs, flexible resourcing and scale on demand. You only pay for cloud services you use, helping you lower your operating costs, run your infrastructure more efficiently and scale as your business needs change.

Types of Hosting Solutions We Provide


Hosting is considered a very broad term, however, there are a lot of options that fit under this umbrella term depending on your budget, needs and requirements. It can be quite confusing at times when it comes to web hosting, but there are a few major types of website hosting that will be most beneficial.


While they are all a storage place for the data on your website, the biggest differences lie in the reliability, their storage capacity, your technical knowledge requirements, how much control you require and the server speed. The main types of hosting are:

 

  • Shared Web Hosting: Entry level standard hosting, shared with other websites. This is by far the most common and cost-effective hosting plan for less than 1000 page views per month.
  • Virtual Private Server (VPS): Allows for better control of your data, but without the price tag of a dedicated server. This solution works best for hosting that attracts volumes of less than 10000 page views per month.
  • Dedicated Server Web hosting (DPS): Large amount of data control, without other websites on your server. This solution caters for large amount of web traffic while retaining absolute control over the server hardware less the cost of utilities and logistics.
  • Cloud Web hosting: Hosting option that runs off a cloud network. This solution is most common for creating very agile based web and app solutions hosted on Cloud leaders such as AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
  • Managed Website Hosting: Where you hire a company to manage your hosting in data centres, along with hardware and software, technical support and maintenance of computer systems. These types of website hosting systems are often used with VMware Workstation.

 

Cost of Cloud

Cloud computing eliminates the capital expense of buying hardware and software and setting up and running on-site data centres – the racks of servers, the round-the-clock electricity for power and cooling and the IT experts for managing the infrastructure. It adds up quickly.

Speed of Cloud Service item

Most cloud computing services are provided as self service and on demand, so even vast amounts of computing resources can be provisioned in minutes, typically with just a few mouse clicks, giving businesses a lot of flexibility and taking the pressure off capacity planning.

Scale of Cloud

 The benefits of cloud computing services include the ability to scale elastically. In cloud speak, that means delivering the right amount of IT resources – for example, more or less computing power, storage, bandwidth – right when they’re needed, and from the right geographic location.

Productivity of Cloud

On-site data centres typically require a lot of “racking and stacking” – hardware setup, software patching and other time-consuming IT management chores. Cloud computing removes the need for many of these tasks, so IT teams can spend time on achieving more important business goals.

Performance of Cloud

The biggest cloud computing services run on a worldwide network of secure data centres, which are regularly upgraded to the latest generation of fast and efficient computing hardware. This offers several benefits over a single corporate data centre, including reduced network latency for applications and greater economies of scale.

Reliability of Cloud

 Cloud computing makes data backup, disaster recovery and business continuity easier and less expensive because data can be mirrored at multiple redundant sites on the cloud provider’s network.

Security of Cloud

Many cloud providers offer a broad set of policies, technologies and controls that strengthen your security posture overall, helping to protect your data, apps and infrastructure from potential threats.
