ARE YOU A SMALL BUSINESS LOOKING TO BUILD REVENUE?
For a small business owner like you, building and supporting a baseline IT infrastructure that provides reliable 24/7 services to you and your customers can be forbiddingly expensive. Even a wobbly, poorly supported infrastructure can be a budget breaker.
LET’S BUILD SOME REVENUE USING THE CLOUD…
Do you want to save money and direct your time and energy into boosting profits? We suggest updating your infrastructure to include the cloud.

REALTIME CLOUD HOSTING is a great way to eliminate a lot of headaches for your business.
Large capital expenditures, high fixed-labor costs, and endless spending for upgrades don’t have to be your fate. The cloud offers a way out it can not only save you money, it eliminates a lot of headaches and can spur growth and boost profits. Let’s look at just a few things the cloud can do for you.
Capex: Most of the expenses of hardware disappear into the cloud. Servers, cabling, all the redundant equipment needed for backup can be handled by a cloud Service provider.
And more importantly, if you need to ramp up quick for an unexpected surge in business, a cloud service provider can easily accommodate your demands as needed.
Disaster recovery is simplified: While you always need disaster recovery plans, the biggest head- aches disappear. When you handle everything in-house, considerable expenditures arise if you want high reliability. Redundant equipment, fully loaded with software is required in case of hardware failure. Uninterruptible power supplies to support the full load of all your servers and backups can be extraordinarily expensive. And even if you keep a lot of your infrastructure on-site, the cloud can be used as a reliable data backup system
Labor: The cloud can cut and/or re-allocate your IT labor costs. The benefits of the cloud in the area of IT resources are twofold.
First, you eliminate the need for 24/7 resources to support your infrastructure. Even if you have only minimal in-house support, emergency on-call break/fix services come at very high hourly rates, and cannot always respond fast enough to eliminate downtime. Of course, your cloud fees include the labor needed to support your infrastructure, but you are sharing that labor cost with all the other renters. Economies of scale really step in when it comes to labor, and this is a condition a small business can’t create on its own.
Second, when you migrate to the cloud, your in-house IT resources can be re-directed to strategic IT planning for future growth and boost profit. This staff can now be used for innovation, not just housekeeping.
And finally, the cloud isn't blue- It's green. While big server farms use enormous amounts of energy, they are a more efficient method than equipment dispersed in offices worldwide.
Other unexpected benefits: As you move your IT into the cloud, some unseen expenses go away. The extra office space that houses equipment no longer needs to be leased, or can be used to house other revenue producing resources, like a few new salespeople. The electric power to drive it all doesn’t come free, and the cooling power to keep everything from overheating is often an overlooked cost of in-house infrastructure.

WHY CLOUD BACKUP?
5 NO-BRAINER REASONS TO USE THE CLOUD FOR YOUR BUSINESS
With the rise of ransomware, cyber crime and just basic disasterous situations, having a reliable backup is essential to maintaining and protecting your company data. As if you needed more than one simple reason (losing ALL of your data if it's not backed up), we have listed five really good reasons why you should use a Cloud Backup.
1. Cloud Standup
In the event of total failure, our solution offers the ability to activate aka "standup" your servers in the Cloud giving you time to address hardware/software failures.
2. Multisite Replication
Multisite refers to the three or more data storage locations to which the Cloud Backups replicate. This gives you peace of mind knowing that your data is safe three-times-over and recoverable no matter the cause.
3. Ease of Scalability
Being able to scale your business when the time comes easily is important. Here, you can grow your backup without worrying about server sprawl; utilization rates or unnecessary lead time to add new equipment.
4. Speedy Recovery
Things happen unexpectedly so being able to restore backup drives from any location provides fast recovery when you need it the most.
5. Offsite Access
Offside access couples with speedy recovery, so being able to access your data from any location makes Cloud Backup hassle-free.
