What Is The Cloud?
The Cloud isn’t new and if you’ve been using a computer at home or the office, chances are that the Cloud played a part in some way. In simple terms, cloud computing is about storing and accessing data and applications over the Internet instead of your computer’s hard drive.
Why Does It Matter?
These are some of the primary advantages of shifting to the Cloud:
Our small business IT support services are clearly explained and there are no hidden costs. We aim to manage all aspects of your business networking and let you concentrate on running your business.
Do I Need Cloud Computing Advice?
While it may be true that cloud computing gives your business an increased degree of autonomy, there may be disastrous consequences if everything is not set up and maintained correctly. A single permissions error while setting up Microsoft SharePoint, for example, could lead to company data loss on a huge scale! A very avoidable risk when you choose to work with a team of cloud computing specialists whose main passion is to ensure businesses are correctly prepared for their move to the Cloud.
Which Cloud Solution is Right for My Business?
Having a clear understanding of the various options available is essential when it comes to implementing your cloud computing strategy. Before determining the right one, however, there are certain basic questions, such as “Do I have sufficient Internet speed for the Public cloud?” “What’s the best solution given the file sizes that my business typically handles?”, where professional help can save hours of frustration and wasted expense.

Choosing the Right Cloud Solution for You
Our role at INeedTech is to understand your needs as a company. While most business IT support companies tend to focus on “what you need,” we seek to uncover “why you need it” and most importantly, whether it will work for you.
The first thing we look at is your connectivity. If you don’t have a reasonable Internet connection (most businesses in central New York have less than 10Mbps – not ideal), you may want to think about a hybrid cloud solution – keeping your emails in the Cloud but your files on your own server, for example. This is just one consideration that determines the type of solution we recommend. Another important question is the type of business you’re in.
To illustrate this, imagine a typical scenario: you’re a New York-based interior design studio and you need to send a large file over the Web. Your accounts manager also uses the Internet and is currently having a video conference with your second office. So what happens? Nothing. The system is overloaded and business is delayed, or worse.
The whole point of the Cloud is to help your business become more efficient, and there are essentially three ways to tackle this using different Cloud set-ups:
- Public Cloud – includes the familiar Microsoft Office 365 and Google Apps for Work. This solution means your data is held on secure shared servers along with other users’ data.
- Private Cloud – is as it says on the box. No one shares this space with you, but it is still stored away from your premises.
- Hybrid Cloud – this customisable solution gives you the choice to store some of your data on the public cloud and some on the private cloud, or your own local network.
Demystifying It All
As you’ve probably gathered by now, knowing which solution is best for your business depends on many variables. The speed of your Internet connection, the type of business you run and the nature of the data being stored all play a big part in determining the most cost-effective and operationally efficient solution.
That’s where we can help. It’s what we do every day for businesses across New York and the rest of the UK, and it’s what we love doing.
Managing a disaster related to your computer network could cost you dearly. The alternative will only cost you a phone call and a free 2 hour on site meet – so we can listen to your needs.
INeedTech will help to demystify and demonstrate how your network functions, using simple diagrams to explain technical concepts. The end result for you is that the Cloud can remain as light and friendly as it always should have been.
