Simplifying Cloud Computing with ITP Solutions

Disrupting technology at a monumental scale, cloud computing is on its way to becoming intrinsic to remaining competitive in business.

Essentially, cloud computing revolves around paying a fee for someone else to host your data in their technology (often a data centre) instead of using your own, on-premises (local) technology, such as a laptop. Technology analyst, Gartner anticipates that over half of organisations will use cloud platforms by 2028. Are you on your way yet?

At ITP Solutions, we deliver, deploy and provide support to business no matter what stage you are at in your cloud computing journey. Our approach to supporting businesses with their cloud computing needs is fostered by our unbiased guidance when we present the various options available to you.

Cloud-agnostic solutions

We ensure we offer 'cloud-agnostic' options by default ('cloud native' is the opposite term). It's possible that you're vying for a breakdown on this in simpler terms. Your wish is our command...

In short, the technology architecture behind a cloud-native design is more rigid, which can leave businesses in a vender lock-in state, leaving them overly dependant on one cloud computing provider. Technology analyst, Gartner identifies vendor lock-in as one of the top five emerging risks surrounding cloud computing, so don't just take our word for it. Don't put yourself at the mercy of a provider who's changing priorities could affect yours.

Across all of our service areas, we take a holistic view, and our approach to cloud computing is no different. From strategising cloud computing, to its execution and maintenance, we are well versed across the board, and we're certified experts in the major public clouds - AWS, Azure and the Google Cloud Platform.

Cost benefits

The beauty of cloud computing is that its various services are sold on demand and so you just pay-as-you-go for what you consume. Rather than buying and maintaining your own hardware/software (and replacing them when they become tired), you can often benefit from economies of scale, resulting in overall lowered costs.

Security and disaster recovery

The 'cloud' can be instrumental in safeguarding and backing up your data. In the event of a disaster, data stored on the cloud can be much more speedily restored than if you didn't have it. With the cloud, data backups can be automated, saving on the tedious task of doing it manually.

Collaboration

Cloud platforms facilitate instant communication and file sharing, eliminating the need for cumbersome email attachments and outdated versions. Team members can work on the same document simultaneously, see edits and updates in real-time, and provide feedback easily, streamlining the collaboration process and reducing the risk of confusion or errors.

Efficiencies

Cloud resources are highly scalable, allowing businesses to adapt to fluctuating workloads and evolving demands. This agility enables them to quickly provision additional resources during peak periods and scale down when demand subsides, ensuring optimal performance and resource utilization.

Cloud providers offer robust disaster recovery and business continuity solutions. In case of unexpected outages or disruptions, data and applications can be quickly restored, minimizing downtime and ensuring business continuity.
