What is the “Cloud”?

The cloud is a buzzword that vaguely suggests the promise and convenience of being able to access files, computers or technical services from anywhere in the world.  But the reality is the cloud is physical infrastructure, composed of many computers housed in massive warehouses or data centers across the world.

Companies such as San Antonio’s own Rackspace, Google, Microsoft and Amazon (yes, that Amazon), to name a few, host thousands of servers and equipment that composes what we call “the cloud”.

We have experience in cloud-based solutions for small businesses to large enterprises. We can help you decide if a cloud solution makes sense (and is cost effective) for your needs.  Whether it is an individual application or your entire business network, we’ve got you covered.

A few of our cloud solutions include:

• Virtualized Servers
• Cloud Based Backups
• Cloud Based Disaster Recovery
• Cloud Based Email & Spam Filtering Solutions
• Cloud Based Monitoring and Help Desk Solutions

The high cost of purchasing, licensing, and hosting your own applications can force you to make compromises. With cloud-based solutions, you can host data, servers, and/or company applications online, to avoid the high upfront costs of equipment, management and ongoing maintenance of in-house infrastructure.
