Cloud Computing is for Small Business Too

Cloud computing is so flexible that it can be used by everyone, from the biggest corporations to the smallest business unit. SADA explains the top ten reasons for a small business unit to consider small business cloud computing:

1. 1. Reduced costs – Cloud computing stores your data on the cloud, so you are no longer required to maintain in-house data storage. Hardware costs are greatly reduced and cutting back on your hardware needs means you no longer need to maintain a large IT maintenance team. In cloud computing, you only pay for what you use.
   2. Scalability – You can scale your storage needs as, when, and exactly how much you need. Additional data storage no longer needs to be purchased ahead of time. You can simply store your data on the cloud whenever you need. You only pay for what you use in your operations, nothing more!
   3. Automatic updates – The cloud ensures that you are always up-to-date and there is no chance of your applications or software becoming outdated. The cloud is always connected and updates automatically.
   4. Remote access – Employees, partners, consultants and off-site vendors can access important data whenever and wherever they need it. The cloud ensures that you will not experience any problems with data access, so say goodbye to the constant emailing of attachments with updates and review notes. The cloud keeps everything online and up-to-date.
   5. Disaster relief – With your data safely stored in a secure data center on the cloud, you will not have to worry about data loss if a natural disaster or power failure wrecks your office hardware. All your data is safe and secure online. All you need is an Internet connection to get back to work!
   6. Ease of implementation – Setting up cloud computing services is easy. Create an account and skilled vendors like SADA can help you create your accounts, even help move your existing data.
   7. Skilled vendors – Who would you trust more with your data, a company with more than twenty years of experience in data warehousing such as IBM or Amazon, or your in-house IT staff?
   8. Response time – Cloud computing has become so advanced that it offers better response times around the world than a standard, local server.
   9. Even playing field – The cloud gives all users access to the same set of tools. Tools available in the cloud are the same for a small firm as for large corporations. In this way the cloud levels the playing field, giving everyone access to the same tools and benefits.
   10. Limitless possibilities – The cloud offers so many benefits that the potential to grow seems limitless. Get into the cloud and your business’ potential for growth is limited only by your imagination!
