Cloud Hosting: An Asset to Modern Business

Cloud hosting is a relatively new but important paradigm helping businesses flourish and keep up with today’s ever-shifting competitive landscape. There are a number of different facets to cloud hosting. We'll take a closer look at how each one can help businesses in the modern technological climate.

APPLICATION HOSTING

Applicaction Hosting allows you to host your software and applications via cloud access. This software as a service (SaaS) solution grants your business access to essential software, so you can succeed in a rapidly shifting business climate. With updates to essential tools occurring in real time, you can be sure you remain at the cutting edge of today’s software.

CLOUD COMPUTING

Cloud Computing allows you to remotely store, process, and manage your essential data via server access. This in turn enables you to do things such as cut back on IT infrastructure costs, while optimizing scalability, catering to all of your needs no matter how big or small. This infrastructure as a service (IaaS) solution grants you the ability to hone in on the essential functions of your operation, without unnecessarily spending time and resources on infrastructure and maintenance.

KEY BENEFITS OF CLOUD BASED SOLUTIONS

Being Device Agnostic, or having device agnosticism, allows a software to function within various systems without needing additional adaption. What that means is your software will be simultaneously compatible with most popular operating systems and web browsers. The demand for this level of compatibility was encouraged by a climate in which users or employees access information and applications from variable platforms, like Apple phones, tablets, and computers, PCs running Microsoft operating systems, and Android devices. Device agnostic allows for the fluent accessibility of information across various mediums.

Accessibility is a huge benefit of making the shift from on-premise to cloud hosted software. The ability to access the same locus of information from many different devices and often in browser-based environments allows you the flexibility to work on the same documents/projects from a cell phone, your PC, another person's computer, or another device from anywhere in the world. Multiple users can collaborate on the same pieces of data, and the revision history can be tracked. You aren't tethered to the office, and your productivity can skyrocket.

Cutting Edge cloud based solutions by companies like Sage, Adobe, and Microsoft are always being developed and improved. Your subscription model for software has become more lucrative than a static local install in the internet age. With cloud software, you'll always have the most up-to-date, secure, and effective version of your essential programs.

Upfront Pricing makes budgeting for software and ongoing support much simpler. In terms of more traditional on-premise installations, the software licensing fees are often just the tip of the costing iceberg. With your upgrades included with your subscription and far less local hardware infrastructure necessary, your costs as a user are much more transparent and predictable.

The paradigm of access has gained increased traction with users across many platforms, and for good reason (just look at the success of service providers such as Google and Adobe). Access allows you to remain at the forefront of essential changes in technologies without making unnecessary large investments, wisely achieving comprehensive overview of the market and its most vital tools. Cloud hosting in combination with managed services can be revolutionary to your business.
