Webinars Take the Excuses Out of Missing Meetings

Webinars Take the Excuses Out of Missing Meetings

For today’s businesses, displaying your organizational authority is crucial to success. Whether it’s McDonald’s with fast food burgers, Chevrolet with cars and trucks, or Walmart for everything else, the message you put out there is seemingly as important as the services you provide. For small businesses, this becomes even more crucial. For example, if you run a hardware store, you likely can’t compete with the prices of the big box stores, but you can bring to the table something of greater value to the consumer: your knowledge.

4 Reasons Why The Cloud is a Smart Business Decision

4 Reasons Why The Cloud is a Smart Business Decision

The cloud is a great way to make services and solutions available to your employees anytime, anywhere. There are now plenty of ways to leverage out the cloud for the benefit of your business. Here are four such ways:


The Cloud Offers Enhanced Security
All businesses need to consider security a priority, and the cloud can offer an improved stance on data security. One of the primary values offered by cloud providers is their security. You can trust that your investment in the cloud, will keep your data protected. 

Plus, if you want to keep the risk factor to a minimum, you can allow for the remote wiping of devices via your cloud solution. This lets you eliminate sensitive data that might be compromised should a device be lost or stolen. You might be surprised by how often this happens, especially during business trips.

Improved Data Access
One of the best ways to use cloud solutions is on the go, be it from a coffee shop or a convenient park bench. If something were to happen that renders the employee unable to make it to the office that day, they can maintain their output without falling behind.

Emphasis on Reliability
Your business needs reliable access to data, and the mark of any good cloud provider is how reliable they are. When you’re looking for a cloud solution, be sure to scour through the contract to find how much uptime is guaranteed. While 100% uptime is impossible, a good cloud provider will do their best to make their uptime rates as high as possible, and provide the support to make sure that any problems are resolved as soon as possible.

When you use services hosted in the cloud, you can access resources without worrying about managing the hardware that they’re located on, or the software being deployed. You can stay productive without halting operations to maintain your infrastructure.

Cloud Services Save You Money
The cloud provides an opportunity to cut out unnecessary expenses. This is primarily due to the fact that you no longer have to manage the servers that your data is hosted on, or purchase additional software licenses. This means that you also don’t have to procure this equipment. Instead, all you have to do is pay your cloud provider a monthly fee, just like you would for any other service.

Infradapt wants to help your business benefit from quality cloud solutions. To learn more about our services, reach out to us at 800.394.2301.

What You Need to Know About the Cloud Before Signing Up

What You Need to Know About the Cloud Before Signing Up

b2ap3_thumbnail_cloud_computer_400.jpgIn an infamous 2012 survey by Wakefield Research, the ignorance of the general public regarding cloud computing was revealed: 51 percent believed that stormy weather interferes with cloud computing, and 29 percent thought that the cloud was an actual cloud. Furthermore, what may elude many computer users is the fact that a process known as virtualization is actually what’s behind cloud computing (not atmospheric conditions).


Essentially, virtualization takes a physical component of your IT infrastructure, like a server or workstation, and stores it in a virtual environment that can be accessed via an online interface. Users that take advantage of cloud computing are familiar with this interface and use it to access their data and applications stored in the cloud. Some popular examples include software like Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive, as well as email services like Gmail and Outlook.

Another way to understand cloud computing is to view it as keeping your data on someone else’s computer. This computer is located off-site and it is (hopefully) maintained and managed by IT professionals. More often than not, these hosted machines are powerful and can provide you with more computing resources for the money compared to purchasing the same equipment for your office.

Plus, when your cloud data is managed and maintained by professionals like a managed service provider, that’s one less thing for you to worry about so you can better focus on running your business. Alternatively, it’s entirely possible to use the virtualization process for accessing data stored on your in-house servers or workstations. While going this route will provide your company with all of the benefits and advantages of cloud computing, it also means that you’re responsible for the upkeep of your own equipment, so be sure to account for this when choosing this computing option.

When it comes to successfully implementing cloud computing for your business, the better you understand what cloud computing can do, equates to you being able to better take advantage of these benefits. What you want is a cloud service package that’s customized to meet the unique needs of your company, instead of a generic, one-size-fits-all package. To that end, Infradapt takes the time to understand the computing needs of your business, and then match your needs with cloud solutions that are the right fit, whether it be hosting your data in-house or having us manage your cloud data.

To get you started with cloud computing, be sure to ask yourself these questions:

  • How much control do you want over your data?
  • Are you equipped to take care of your own IT equipment?
  • Would it be better for your budget to buy your own IT equipment, or outsource your IT needs?
  • Do you have remote workers?
  • Do you handle information that’s sensitive in nature and subject to fines if handled improperly?

Finally, it might be in your best interest to go with virtualization instead of cloud computing. While virtualization is what drives cloud computing, you might be able cover your needs with virtualizing your own IT network, instead of migrating your IT infrastructure to the cloud. Of course, the best way to know for sure what your computing needs are is to have a conversation with Infradapt. It’s easy to do, just pick up the phone and call 800.394.2301 to schedule your IT assessment today!
