Cloud Services for SME's to Reduce costs

Successful businesses are  always looking to be more competitive, which means keeping a tight control on costs and overheads.  IT can be particularly expensive. Cloudserve typically offer you either a much lower cost than an "on-premise solution" , or  better value than other hosted IT providers. Our qualified engineers  help to migrate your services and move your data quickly and inexpensively allowing you to reduce your ongoing costs and ensure you don't need to spend money on equipment like servers, PCs and phone systems.

Recommended services: Hosted Desktop, Hosted VOIP and Hosted Exchange

Reduce IT headaches  

In-house IT means headaches - problems created rather than problems solved. Whilst no-one relishes dealing with the hassle associated with keeping their IT working, few businesses are able to ever truly free themselves from it. We believe there's a better way of delivering IT, a way that removes the hassle and leaves the care of and responsibility for your IT to Cloudserve. We support, patch, manage, backup and look after all components of our hosted solution for you, all from the cloud.

Compounding desktops, servers, applications, communications and mixes of requirements is a near impossible task to deliver. Working with Cloudserve helps IT managers gain control of their environment through partnering. By moving typically difficult services off-premise to Cloudserve, we take on the management and infrastructure responsibility, whilst you maintain control over quality and the direction of the service - a win-win scenario. Reduce your team's time spent de-bugging desktops, patching etc. and switch to productive and proactive IT.

Recommended services: Hosted Desktop, Hosted VOIP, Hosted File Server, Software on Demand, Virtual Server Infrastructure and Hosted Exchange Email

Upgrading Hardware - Software

If your business is at a crossroads, considering whether to upgrade to the latest desktop computers or a new version of MS Office etc., then IT on Demand lets you avoid spending any capital. Using our cloud computing model of providing services securely over the internet, Cloudserve can offer 3 options:

•Extend the life of your existing equipment. Use your existing PCs as connection devices to Hosted Desktops (even if they're 10 years old), gaining access to the latest technologies instantly - no need to upgrade hardware.

•Don't invest in new software. Use Cloudserve's software on demand to deliver applications to desktops for a fraction of the cost.

•Replace old PCs with thin clients to save power, initial cost and ongoing management.

Cloud Services provide disaster recovery

9 out of 10 businesses do not have adequate disaster recovery or business continuity plans. Cloudserve can provide online backup (allowing you to store important files from your desktop or office network within our data centre) or ready-to-go desktops and services in case your business is hit by problems. Archiving and backing up email are also now essential chores. All of our services require no up front investment - just a low cost tailored to your needs.

Improve Security

Ensuring your company's data is secure is imperative, not just for peace of mind, but also for compliance with regulations. Data is now easier to transport and take, and companies of all sizes need to protect themselves. Having data securely hosted in a purpose-built data centre firstly provides physical security, but also enables control over who can access your data, when and how. Cloudserve's  desktop and file server offerings allow securely hosted, permission-based data control.
