My company, AIMC Business Solutions, is known for providing websites and social media solutions for small businesses. However, another IT related business seems to be tough to ignore these days. It is called Cloud Computing. Being in IT for over 20 years now mostly in enterprise related positions where the computing infrastructure is proprietary hardware running enterprise software like Oracle or DB2, I see how expensive both from a capital and operational perspective it is to simply keep the trains running. On top of that, you need to develop, train and keep your staff happy - another operational expense. So, what are your options? Well, if you are a small company (less than 50 employees) or a company that runs the bulk of their business using SaaS (software as a service) or web-based, where the applications are run via a browser or most of all you do not like to pay for infrastructure that is not used, then cloud computing is a great option to run your business. Imagine, paying for infrastructure services only when you need them, or being able to spin up some new hardware in days or even hours because you just signed a new client. If you have a standard legacy Data Center environment with staff, it could take months to get up and running. With a cloud environment w/ managed services, you can be up and running in time to meet the agile demands of your business.
If you like more information on utilizing the "cloud" to run your business's IT infrastructure, let us know. It is important to do a three-year analysis of what it will cost you versus building a standard data center w/ staff to determine if it fits your business model.
Finally, we like your comments so please reply.
