Hosted cloud services is a wide and varied field of enterprise-technology. At it’s simplest, it refers to storing your data off-site (in the cloud).
The benefit of hosting data in the cloud, rather than on a server on your own premises, is that it can then be accessed from anywhere in the world on any device. The flexibility of cloud services also allows businesses to scale their cloud usage as their demand grows.
Of course, convenience often comes with risk. A business wanting to host their data in the cloud also needs to consider additional security measures to limit and monitor who is accessing their data in the cloud.
When placing customer data in the cloud, there may also be regulatory issues relating to privacy and data protection. This can be particularly relevant for industries which deal with sensitive customer data like healthcare, law and financial services.
These are just some of the reasons that many businesses have chosen to partner with a managed IT provider like Carden IT Services, with substantial experience in planning and implementing hosted cloud solutions.
