With the unprecedented control and flexibility offered by Cloud computing services, switching to a cloud-based solution has never been a better decision. Enterprise Cloud Computing is a revolutionary platform that gives users the power to harness computing resources in minutes as opposed to days or weeks. Instead of buying and supporting their own costly hardware, Cloud services give users a cost-efficient option for controlling a pool of processing, storage, and networking services while also allowing them to deploy server capacity on demand. Dictated by resources as opposed to large and inflexible server units, the Cloud allows for dynamic allocation of computing resources when and where they’re required. Our Cloud services include the following benefits: [custom_list style="list-1"]
- True flexibility and dynamic allocation – resources on demand and real-time
- No more up-front capitol expenses – pay monthly, only for what you use
- No more costly training – allow someone else to stay current on ever-changing technologies
- The ultimate business continuity solution – no single point of failure
- Limitless scalability – global platforms allow for unrestricted growth
[/custom_list] [message type="simple"]Example: A software company that provides continuous updates to their end clients worldwide was seeking a platform that supported both Linux and Microsoft, a way to escape the tedious work of monitoring and managing their own hardware and to have constant access to top-quality, on-demand engineering support that could answer even the most complex technical questions. AVANT helped this customer find a Cloud computing provider that offered dynamic allocation of computing resources, a large global footprint, and engineering support that easily handled all their technical needs. In addition, the ROI for this solution proved to be stronger than their previous in-house setup and they were able to transition to the new platform in less than three weeks. [/message] [divider]
