Public Cloud

Backup and Archive

Backup and archive data is often an organization’s first candidate for shifting to the cloud. This is because backup data is viewed as less critical, and cloud storage is affordable, scalable and doesn’t require maintenance.

Disaster Recovery (DR)

We live in a digital world. Most organizations have finally realized that any sort of sustained IT outage could cause irrevocable damage. However, operating a secondary, geographically diverse IT environment for DR is often cost prohibitive and immensely difficult. To accomplish DR, most organizations replicate their IT environment to the cloud to provide them with peace of mind while keeping costs low until it is needed.

Test and Development

The Public Cloud allows for environments to be built, tested and torn down quickly. Organizations no longer need to wait months to procure hardware and provision a new environment. This greatly increases efficiency and effectiveness.

Scalability

Traditionally, organizations had to account for estimated growth in order to effectively architect and provision IT environments. With Public Cloud, they can start out with their current requirements, knowing that they have cloud resources readily available to scale into.
