One of the single most exciting developments in online technology is the development of cloud-based platforms.

These decentralized, go-anywhere services take many of the burdens of network management out of your hands. Cloud platforms also provide specialized services that would otherwise require huge expenditures for on-site hardware or software. After a company sets up a cloud-based data farm, it can begin offering a vast range of services on equipment in the cloud.

XtraNET links you to the best cloud service providers who offer a full range of options:

• Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS): Why buy new hardware and install software on it when you could rent the equipment? Virtualized operating systems can be delivered via broadband to nearly any desktop, laptop, or tablet. PaaS options allow businesses to see more return from their existing hardware by lengthening its useful lifespan.
• Software-as-a-Service (SaaS): Even if you have the local hardware and operating systems you need, cloud-based software can be a boon for any business. These software applications can be remotely accessed from any computer anywhere in the world, which means that your employees will always have access to the tools they need – even if they’re a thousand miles from the office.
• Hosted VoIP: If you don’t have the equipment on-site to set up a Voice-over-IP (VoIP) system, that doesn’t have to stop you. Cloud-based hosts can provide VoIP in effectively the same way as your old phone system, delivering voice services with a single point of contact.
• Private & Hybrid Cloud Storage: XtraNET connects your company with all the data storage you need via either fully private or hybrid cloud servers. In addition to its mobile benefits, these cloud services provide an off-site backup for a business’s most valuable data, and they protect from hackers.
• Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity: A combination of the above services creates robust disaster recovery and business continuity options. Whether you need to secure your data or to keep offsite backups for your entire software environment, cloud servers will speed your recovery and get you up and running quickly in the case of any catastrophic hardware failure.

XtraNET’s team of experts will introduce your team to cloud-based platforms that bring cost-effective speed, service, agility, and scalability to your business. Our range of as-a-service offerings put modern software and hardware within reach of any business large or small.
