Advantages of Cloud Computing and Managed Services in San Antonio

Managed services in San Antonio can be integral in helping you maximize the utility of your technology resources. One of the smartest moves that you can make today involves the implementation of cloud computing technology. Now, you won’t have to do it all at once. Some businesses do, some don’t— but it is possible to totally outsource all hardware needs. That said, it requires a new kind of DaaS.

Desktop as a Service (DaaS) commonly refers to a desktop solution of a network kind floated on the cloud and accessible remotely. Meanwhile, Device as a Service (also DaaS) basically refers to rented tablets, smartphones, and laptops. For a monthly fee, your business uses them, and should one malfunction, it’s replaced. All data is stored in the cloud, so nothing is lost when an end-user portal is compromised. As yet, device-related DaaS has yet to become mainstream, but it is on the near horizon, and cloud computing is a primary facilitator of this shift. Several additional reasons it makes sense to utilize cloud computing include:

• Automation
• Proper positioning for future profitability
• More streamlined collaboration
• Reduction of hardware expenses
• Expedited BDR

Automation

Managed services providers in San Antonio can help you automate using cloud technology. You can automate backups, certain patching integration, upgrades, testing, and more. There is a ubiquity of tasks which cloud computing helps automate. The right MSP can help you apply the most efficient and sustainable automation solutions via cloud computing technology.

Proper Positioning for Future Profitability

This was briefly explored in the introduction to this writing: as cloud computing expands, more and more businesses will eschew traditional hardware solutions in lieu of more cost-effective cloud-based ones. If you haven’t even made it to the cloud, you’ll be several steps behind competition who have.

More Streamlined Collaboration

As other businesses expand and optimize via cloud computing, collaboration will become expedited through mutual use of cloud tech. When everybody’s on the same page, it’s easier to work together.

Reduction of Hardware Expenses

Servers, desktops, laptops, tablets, and even smartphones can be replaced with cloud services in terms of software, and soon in terms of hardware as described regarding DaaS. For now, you can almost totally outsource server costs, depending on your operation, saving tens of thousands annually.

Expedited BDR

With cloud computing, you can have better, more comprehensive backup and data recovery (BDR) in a way which reduces downtime and expands your network’s sustainability.
