Cloud services have revolutionised the way businesses operate, with more than 90 percent of companies adopting some form of cloud services due to the agility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness they offer. However, many organisations find it challenging to migrate appropriately and integrate private and public cloud with their legacy IT infrastructures.

With many businesses becoming increasingly mobile, providing custom-fit and flexible solutions that maximise productivity yet mitigate risks can be challenging. 

Cloud services enable seamless performance and the sharing of data, platforms, and applications in real-time. However, working out the right solutions specific to your needs and integrating and migrating these services requires resources and experience not often available within organisations. We can help you develop and implement a strategy that is right for you and enhances business performance by giving your people the tools to do what they need, wherever they are.

Once upon a time, we all had a portable hard drive, physically attached to our computers that would back up our data.

Every second person has a story about losing data from these external drives because the hard drive malfunctioned, overheated, got lost or just became too old!

There’s no need for the old external drive anymore because cloud based solutions store a copy of your local data in a cloud storage facility, which could be anywhere in the world, for you to access whenever you want it. 

Provided you follow some general advice, you can easily and seamlessly retrieve your data from the ‘cloud’ as if it were on your local drive.

More and more companies are opting for cloud back up because it is reliable, cheap and secure. 

There are different types of cloud back up options. Essentially, they are broken into three groups: public cloud based options; application-specific or enterprise-specific cloud based options; and private cloud based options.

The public cloud based options are offerings like Dropbox. Application-specific options include iCloud, Google Drive and OneDrive, while enterprise-specific options are offered by corporate giants like IBM, Amazon and Dell.

Some businesses opt for a completely private cloud back up option by licensing space on private server farms and data centres somewhere in the world.

Whatever option you choose Techcellence can help ensure business continuity with a backup solutuion that offers a simple, effective, and reliable method of backing up your data.

SaaS (Software-as-a-Service)
Ready-to-use web-based applications with no setup or installation required – normally just a credit card! No access is available to the infrastructure or data at the back-end other than possibly through an API.  Most organisations use Google Apps, Office 365, and a multitude of small web-based applications.

PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service)
Refers to cloud-based platform services that applications and data can be added on to. Examples include Azure SQL, Azure AI Platform, Google App Engine or Force.com.

IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service)
The most similar to Private Cloud in that you can run your own servers and have full access at the operating system layer, without having manage hardware, storage or backups. Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are the biggest providers at this layer.

The number of cloud providers is growing almost daily, especially at the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) layer.  Understanding what services to take from a Public Cloud provider as opposed to Private Cloud or in-house can be complex, and we are here to help design, install, embed and manage your cloud infrastructure.

Disasters happen! - There are many unexpected things that can cripple a business.  What makes the difference is how prepared you are for a crisis event, and how quickly you can be back up and running. Which is why a reliable Cloud Backup and fully tested Disaster Recovery plan is so essential.

Downtime is one of the biggest IT expenses that any business can face! When an unforeseen event takes place, regardless of industry or size, it will causes your day-to-day operations to come to a halt. Your company will need to recover as quickly as possible to ensure continued services to clients and customers. Having your essential data backed up correctly and in verious forms, along with a plan for recovering from a system failure will get your business up and running quicker.

Business disasters can either be natural, technological, or man-made but without some sort of backup system it may be difficult or impossible to recreate your original data.

When it comes to making a choice between onsite and offsite backup options, it is usually a matter of preference internet and speed. Some people prefer being able to monitor and keep track of their data. Others, however, choose offsite servers to store their data.

In order to have the most secure system with the lowest likelihood of data lost, we recommend that businesses adopt an onsite-offsite solution. By having onsite and offsite backups used in conjunction with each other, a problem in one side of the equation can offset by recovery from the other side.
