Clearing up the confusion: Cloud computing demystified

By Dean

02 Jul 2014

Change can be unsettling for some, but nobody ever moved forward by living the past! As more and more businesses are choosing to migrate into the Cloud, it’s fast becoming clear that our future will be heavily involved in this revolutionary service whether we want it to or not.

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a feature that enables users to access their software online on a pay-as-you-use basis. As well as adding flexibility to your company, business crucial apps such as Salesforce.com, Google Apps, Office 365, Campaign Monitor and Survey Monkey can be used in any location at any time via the web.

Platform as a Service

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) succeeds in removing in house IT maintenance costs by hosting your IT Infrastructure into the cloud (we call this virtualization). Market-leading providers of IaaS include VMware and Rackspace, both of which Denwa are now in official partnership with.

It’s not as new as you think.

Low outlay cost. Saving you money from the very beginning, Cloud Computing offers a low set up fee and flexible approach to billing, meaning even the smallest of businesses can benefit from the service without paying through the nose.

99% uptimeuaranteed.

Watch your Backup. By using Denwa Cloud Backup, you can reduce your file storage costs by up to 20 times as much and ensure that your important files can be instantly recovered should disaster ever strike.
