Cloud Hosting Solutions For Organizations Across Texas
As business technology continues to improve at impressive speeds, you may have heard of “the Cloud” and the many businesses that are using it. ICS experts ensure that your company will be at the forefront of all cloud computing innovations. We provide a complete suite of Managed IT Services in Houston, San Antonio, and Austin including Cloud Hosting Solutions and technology with many categories and applications.
Cloud Hosting Solutions for All Business Needs
Cloud Hosting
In the simplest form, Cloud Hosting is the storage of client data in a secure center that features redundant power, air conditioning, fire suppression, generators, UPS, and security. These centers are also built to withstand natural disasters and in many cases have backup centers available. Cloud Hosting allows clients to enjoy the benefits of large scale IT security and redundancy at the fraction of the cost.
Cloud Application
Cloud hosting can take on many different forms depending on the client’s needs. Sometimes clients are accessing a Cloud Application which is an application hosted and maintained by another company. Most people refer to this as SaaS or Software as a Service. A great example of this is Microsoft 365 or SalesForce. ICS would refer to this as simply the “Cloud”.
Hybrid Cloud
Other clients prefer to have their own applications and load those applications on shared, high-powered servers managed by someone else in the cloud. This provides the company with seamless management of their applications but without the worries of updating or managing the hardware associated with those applications. This provides a high level of uptime with the pure flexibility of maintaining your own application. This is common practice for hosting websites and for people with very specific or client developed software. This is typically referred to as a “Hybrid Cloud.”
Rent the rack space in the cloud
As another form of Hybrid Cloud, clients can own the servers and the application but just rent the rack space in the cloud. This is common for businesses that have very sensitive data and do not want their data on servers hosting other client’s information. This is also common in litigious industries due to subpoenas of information and possible seizure of hardware. This would also fall into the “Hybrid Cloud” category.
Cloud Solutions for voice and data
ICS provides solutions for voice and data in the true Cloud and Hybrid Cloud sectors, by moving clients to Microsoft 365, storing backups into our Datto Cloud, or by sampling managing client’s servers for them in their desired Colocation facility. ICS even has its own cloud application for Hosted VoIP phones. Clients no longer need an on-site server for their phone system. They simply deploy our IP phones and register them to our cloud server. ICS will manage the server and provide the dial tone for all inbound and outbound calling. This provides clients with higher-end business applications at much lower costs.
Benefits of Cloud Hosting Technology
Cloud hosting offers a range of benefits over traditional hostings, such as:
- Redundancy and Reliability
- More Features and Applications at Lower Costs
- Disaster Recovery and Avoidance
- Less On-Site Hardware to Manage
- Applications Stay Up to Date
- Generally an Operational vs. Capital Expenditure
