BENEFITS OF THE CLOUD
Reduce your physical on-premise solutions by relocating them to the cloud.
Cost Effective
Because companies don’t have to purchase equipment and build out and operate a data center, they don’t have to spend significant money on hardware, facilities, utilities and other aspects of operations.
Minimized Infrastructure
With cloud computing, companies can reduce the size of their own data centers — or eliminate their data center footprint altogether. The reduction of the numbers of servers, the software cost, and the number of staff can significantly reduce IT costs without impacting an organization’s IT capabilities.
Flexible Costing
With cloud processes, companies have the flexibity to purchase additional server, infrastructure and software requirements only when needed. Once these additional requirements are no longer needed, companies can then revert to their base subscription.
Updated Software
With SaaS, customers utilize the latest versions of applications as soon as an update is released. Version upgrades are performed seemlessly at the backend without any user intervention with minimal or no downtime at all. The newer features available in version updates allows customers to be more productive.
Uptime
With most Cloud based services be it SaaS or IaaS, providers are extremely reliable guaranteeing 99.99% uptime. As long as customers have an active internet connection, they have access to subscribed services from anywhere in the globe.
Improved Collaboration
Collaboration is a breeze with cloud services. It enables individuals from geographically distant locations to communicate and exchange information in real time.
WHAT YOU GET
ALT’s CLOUD SOLUTIONS
Cloud Email Security
As businesses migrate their emails to cloud based systems,the basic built in security offered by these cloud providers does not suffice. Cloud based email security solutions blocks new and sophisticated email threats such as ransomware, spear phising with high effectiveness and accuracy. They can also be deployed for on-premise email solutions.
Cloud Based Management Platform
Cloud management consoles are developed to compliment solutions running on-premises. These solutions range from server operating systems,endpoint security solutions, backup solutions, to network security solutions.In the context of network security, these management platforms allows administrators to easily configure on-premise devices and provides visibility to prepare,prevent, detect and respond to network threats remotely.
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is an ever-expanding set of services which includes software developement platforms, applications along with hardware resources delivered over the internet. With cloud computing, businesses only pay for the sort of resources they need, allowing scaling to be extremely simple. Nothing is run on-premise, free'ing up costs needed to purchase and manage these hardware/software.
Cloud Endpoint Protection
Cloud endpoint protection are SaaS solutions which can be rolled out to PC,Mac, mobile devices and servers. They are easy to use and can be managed by a single console, making it ideal for organization with limited IT security resources. They provide advanced technologies eliminating all threats and malware protecting endpoints, all in a high-performance,lightweight agent.
Cloud Backup
Cloud backup involves software or agents that are installed on personal computers, laptops and servers which then backsup files,folders, applications, databases, virtual instances to cloud storage provided by the Cloud services provider.
Cloud Software
Software as a services (SaaS) are cloud based software services which provides a wide range of solutions. Productivity application solutions such as such as word processor, spreadsheets,email client, calender services and presentation applications are the most common. Other solutions includes email services,chat platforms,cloud storage, video conferencing platforms, collaboration platforms, customer relationship management tools, amongst others.
Cloud Disaster Recovery
Businesses that select the cloud for DR services see a tremendous saving in cost as they do not need to set up a redundant data center. Besides cost affectiveness, businesses see faster responses reacting to a disaster, sometimes in as little as a matter of minutes. Another critical aspect of selecting the cloud for DR is that DR facilities can quickly be moved between different regions in the globe compared to having a redundant permanetly place data centre which could be also struck by disaster.
Hybrid Cloud
Hybrid Cloud refers to a mixed environment of on-premise, private cloud and public cloud infrastuctures. Leveraging on latest digital technologies, businesses will adopt the Digital Transformation (DX) strategy by incoporating digital technologies into their operational processes with the sole goal of making more business.The need to adapt and change direction quickly is a core principle of a digital business. This is the primary reason businesses incorporate the Hybrid Cloud environment.
Migration & Costs
Customers may want to migrate but could be worried about the costs and other technicalities. ALT can help you with this process by providing full consultation on the entire process from understanding customers needs, identifying the right solution, costing/cost management/ cost optimization and eventually migration.
companies will spend over $90 billion on cloud services.Specifically, IDC estimates that backup-as-a-service and recover-as-a-service will account for $1.023 billion by 2018. And Gartner predicts that by 2020, 90% of disaster recovery (DR) operations will run in the cloud.
Spending On Cloud Computing Infrastructure And Platforms Will Grow At A 30% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) From 2013 Through 2018 Compared With 5 Percent Growth For Overall Enterprise IT, Giving Rise To The CASB Market In The Process. Cloud Adoption Is Accelerating Faster Than Previously Anticipated, Leading Forrester To Recently Revise Its 2011 Forecast Of The Public Cloud Market Size Upward By 20 Percent. Whether You’re Looking At Software-As-A-Service (SaaS), Infrastructure-As-A-Service (IaaS), Or Platform-As-A-Service (PaaS), The Predictions Are The Same: Fast Growth Of The Workloads Placed In The Cloud And An Increased Percentage Of The Total IT Budget Going Toward Cloud Computing.
