CLOUD HOSTING SOLUTIONS

vs. IN-HOUSE SERVER

Many small to medium-sized business owners struggle with the decision to switch to Cloud hosting. Are Cloud hosting solutions a good fit for the business? Are they safe? Affordable? These questions are important, and failing to have them answered prevents many business owners from taking advantage of the benefits of the Cloud.

At Galalee Software Solutions, we want all SMBs to have the chance to expand and to take advantage of the best available tools. With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at some of the advantages that Cloud hosting has over traditional, in-house servers.

DEDICATED SERVER

Dedicated, in-house servers were a natural choice for SMBs for several years due to the basic fact that Cloud hosting services weren’t a viable option. That meant that file sharing, email, and application hosting were all handled by an on-site server. This is still a viable option for certain businesses, such as those which require exceptionally high levels of data security. With in-house servers, the company maintains the server itself and typically requires an experienced team of IT professionals to manage the network. In-house servers are also advantageous in that they can be completely tailored to the specific needs of a particular business. The downside of on-site servers is that they can often be expensive to implement and update, and they also require that team of IT professionals mentioned previously. The business would also be required to update and renew software licenses, another expense many small and medium-sized businesses can’t afford.

CLOUD HOSTING

Cloud hosting solutions are perfect for businesses that need to optimize their IT performance without the accruing the major costs that are associated with managing dedicated, on-site infrastructure. Some of the major benefits include:

  • There is no hardware to maintain, and no necessary paid IT team on staff.
  • There is also no need to purchase software, making this an affordable and viable option for many SMBs.
  • Cloud hosting is also completely scalable and customizable to each individual business.
  • Many businesses see a growth in revenue after making the switch to cloud hosting. This is partially due to the money saved, but it also is a result of being able to connect more efficiently and quickly with potential clients and customers.
  • Cloud hosting increases employee productivity by allowing for increased flexibility, seamless collaborations, and the ability to work from anywhere on-the-go.
