Why Cloud Computing?

Why more businesses are moving to the cloud

Cloud adoption is the natural next step in a trend we’ve been seeing for years – the desire to accelerate the transition from capital investments to operating expenses.  After all, the more you outsource IT, the less capital intensive your business becomes. Cloud adoption takes this one step further, providing businesses with the agility to add and release IT capacity as their needs change – without having to oversubscribe for peak usage. This can be a game-changer – both for cash flow and for ensuring the most efficient utilization of IT resources.

Additionally, in a traditional on-premise or colocation environment, organizations require a full team on hand – IT personnel skilled in maintaining and optimizing their own equipment. Cloud computing solutions enable organizations to rely on the provider’s technology expertise, reducing total cost of ownership and allowing precious IT resources to focus on the core business.

Cloud Adoption: Transition of Expense and Control

Don't Believe the Hype

The cloud isn’t for everybody. And it isn't likely to make sense for your entire IT infrastructure. But cloud computing takes virtualization and automation to the next level. It’s on-demand infrastructure as you need it—for the workloads, applications and services that make the most sense. And fully managed by Latisys to free up your resources for a greater return on your infrastructure investment.

What can your organization expect from cloud computing?

Many businesses are turning to the cloud for greater control – over costs, compute resources…and the unexpected.

• Efficiency and Cost Management: You no longer have to divert CapEx and OpEx towards building and filling data centers that must be powered, cooled and managed by IT staffers. Instead, rely on professionals who are experts at running these data centers and configuring them for maximum efficiency – and access enterprise-quality infrastructure, software and services at a fraction of the cost to run them internally.
• Speed and Agility: Scale up and down as needed with compute resources and storage available on-demand – and only pay for what you consume.
• Redundancy: Secure a more reliable and cost-effective path to disaster recovery by storing virtual machine images of existing workloads in a cloud server.
