Public Cloud VMs

More Server Space Without the Capital Expense

Large capital expenses and a shortage of IT resources are a couple challenges that many small to medium sized businesses encounter. When it comes to making data and applications accessible from any location via the Internet, it can be expensive to host, purchase and maintain on your own servers. A shared cloud server eliminates those extra costs and need for additional IT resources.

How does it work?

A public cloud server enables you to store and access applications offsite via the internet or WAN, as it is hosted within a provider’s bank of servers. It is a space in which you are able to utilize cloud services in a virtual setting, created through the utilization of shared physical resources and made available via the public Internet. A given provider is able to host several businesses at once using this technology and is able to tend to each ones individual needs. Need more storage space? More processing power? Change an administrator’s rights? No problem. You can grow, shrink, customize or modify your server space on an as-needed basis and you are charged incrementally, on a monthly basis, for only what you need.

What’s in it for you?

Increase flexibility. No more paying for underutilized servers. You can adjust how much server space and specs you need as your business needs fluctuate.

Minimize capital expenses. With a cloud server, the hardware is owned and maintained by the provider you choose. No need to find the space and purchase hardware. Plus, the servers they buy are much better than a small or mid-size company would typically buy.

Free-Up Time. Not only does the provider host the hardware and space, but they also maintain the server. You can spend time on more advanced or creative tasks, rather than spending time keeping the server running.

Reduce downtime. Your servers are hosted in a data center that has spent millions of dollars on redundancy. Your remote users and/or additional sites are not dependent on your hub site’s power, equipment, connectivity and staff.

Increase creative experimentation. Let’s be honest. You really never know how something is going to work until you have it for six months. With public cloud, you can try something new and if you don’t like it, you just cancel it. You don’t have to go “all in,” and purchase thousands of dollars in servers without trying it first.

Never worry about hackers. Due to the fact that public cloud providers have had to deal with hackers for many, many years now, their infrastructure is built to protect your business at all times.

Top-notch security. Public cloud is so large scale, providers of this technology only take on the best security experts in the field and are willing to pay them a competitive salary in order to ensure security for your business at all times – no exceptions.
