Frequently Asked Questions:
What are cloud solutions?
Cloud solutions refer to the use of remote servers, accessed over the internet, to store, manage, and process data. This can include data storage, data backup and recovery, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions.
How would a cloud solution benefit my business?
Cloud solutions offer business the benefits of cost savings by renting computing capacity instead of buying it outright. Rental of hardware located in another cloud location coupled with load-shedding also ensures that added power redundant equipment such as inverters and untinerupted power supply equipment is not needed to be purchased and maintained.
By storing data in the cloud securely reduces the risk of hardware crashing as a result of unstable power supply from load-shedding. Cloud servers have dedicated power systems to ensure guarenteed uptime on services.
Can cloud solutions be customized to fit a business's specific needs?
Yes, cloud solutions can be customized to fit a business’s specific needs. Managed IT service providers such as Ativo ICT can work with businesses to understand their needs and design a cloud solution that is tailored to their business.
