Build business success with Managed Public Cloud

Exceptional businesses are built on solid foundations. It’s all about making the right decisions, right now, and every step along the way.

From market evaluation, business strategy and product positioning, to resource planning and deployment, when you minimise the surprise, you can build a substantial competitive advantage.

A powerful solution for every business

Whether you’re launching a new business or ramping up existing operations for renewed growth, the IT infrastructure you choose now will have a serious impact on your future success. That’s why it has to provide a proven, stable and secure ecosystem. One that lets you and your colleagues access the resources you need, when you need them, wherever you are. It also needs to ensure smooth service delivery and improve your customer satisfaction levels.

Put simply, your IT infrastructure is the life force behind your business. And the route you decide to take must give you all of the above, and more. All day, every day, for a long time to come.

So, there’s no pressure.

Thankfully, there is a solid solution. Let’s take a closer look at managed public cloud services.

What can managed public cloud services do for my business?

With managed public cloud services, your computing, storage and networking needs are taken care of by somebody else. Instead of having to purchase and self-manage the infrastructure required to run your applications, you can access virtual resources over the internet.

Do you need encrypted, efficient, reliable and scalable storage or backups? No problem. How about virtual machines to handle intensive workloads? It’s covered. Or unrestricted, secure networking that keeps your data safe and your applications optimised? You’ve guessed it, managed cloud does that too.

In fact, managed public cloud services can do a lot for your business. Here are just some of the many benefits of choosing cloud:

• Servers can be deployed in minutes or hours, not days or weeks
• You’ll save money, because you don't have to pay for hardware, software and additional IT resource. You’ll only ever pay for what you use
• Your IT team can focus on value-add activities that make a real difference to your profitability, instead of having to worry about routine maintenance
• You’ll enjoy flexible scalability, with the power to increase or decrease resource capacity at speed, based on demand
• With the right public cloud provider, reliability will go through the roof. You’ll have access to the very latest hardware and software, with up-to-date patches and regular upgrades. Your business will never fall behind the technology curve
