Cloud Services

Reliable Cloud solutions to suit your unique needs

Whether it’s cloud storage or backup, PBX or consulting, Solid Systems has you covered.

What are Cloud Services?

“Cloud services” is a term for a wide range of cloud solutions that companies and customers can get on demand over the internet through cloud computing. Some popular cloud services include:

These cloud solutions make it easy and cost effective to get to apps and resources, without having to set up infrastructure or hardware on your own. Most employees use cloud services every day at work, whether they realise it or not. For example, they might check their email or work together on a document using cloud-based applications.

Cloud computing vendors and service providers take care of everything about cloud services, from infrastructure to security. Customers can access these cloud solutions from the providers’ servers, so a business doesn’t have to host applications on its own servers, reducing costs and maintenance efforts.

What are the key benefits of Cloud Services?

Data is the backbone of any modern business. Storing information safely and securely is more important than ever before, especially since the introduction of regulations like the POPI Act in United Kingdom and GDPR in the EU. But with remote and hybrid work becoming ever more prominent, on-premises solutions are no longer meeting the data storage needs of companies around the world. Hard drives are unreliable, while procuring and maintaining your own servers is both an expensive process and a complicated one which most companies don’t have the resources to manage.

So where should companies turn for their infrastructure, software and storage solutions? To the cloud.

While the thought of storing all your files and documents online may seem like a daunting one, there are countless benefits to using a cloud service. Here are just some advantages of keeping your data in the cloud:

Cost Effective

Use and pay for precisely the amount of storage that you need. This means that you’re not paying for unnecessary space, and can always expand or reduce your plan as needed.

On Demand

Only use the services you need, when you need them without the need for unnecessary expenditure. Simply add or remove services as needed, and reduce maintenance costs.

Scalable

Whether you’re a small organisation with basic storage requirements, or part of a global chain whose needs exceed the norm, you can access scalable services that can be adjusted to meet your business demands.

Available

The data stored in each service on cloud platforms can be accessed by those who need it from anywhere in the world, as long as they have internet access, allowing for seamless collaboration.

How do Cloud Services work, and what are the types of Cloud Services in United Kingdom and abroad?

Rather than having your own servers and hard drives dedicated to the storage of vital documentation, which can be a costly and unreliable solution if they aren’t maintained correctly, businesses can use the cloud computing services offered by third-party providers. A cloud services provider maintains their own servers, and ensures the security of all data stored on their infrastructure, and you simply pay for the space that you need. This makes cloud as a service an affordable, secure and accessible solution for companies in United Kingdom and around the world.
 
Cloud services come in a variety of different forms to suit your needs as a business:

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Rather than buying server hardware and maintaining it yourself, cloud computing service providers offer solutions for development, networking and storage infrastructure, and maintain them on your behalf, leaving you free to concentrate on your business without having to worry about the hardware behind it.

Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Give your developers a structure that they can use to create personalised apps. Platforms like Microsoft Azure provide servers for development, allowing you to maintain control of your developed applications, while they maintain and control the servers themselves.

Software as a Service (SaaS)

SaaS are online tools for companies to use, often without the need for downloading or installing applications, but accessible from a web browser. These tools, like the email services of Microsoft 365, are often managed by many a cloud service company in United Kingdom and around the world.

What about Cloud Services in United Kingdom? Why are they so popular?

Cloud services have been growing in popularity across the globe, but they have been on the rise in United Kingdom in particular, partly because of the rampant power crisis that the country has experienced. Outages like load-shedding make it difficult for businesses to get servers on-premise to work efficiently, and hardware also becomes more prone to disaster thanks to the surges when power returns.

This makes cloud services an ideal solution within London, Manchester, and across United Kingdom, with many businesses partnering with their preferred cloud services company and investing in both private and public cloud services. While private cloud services are limited to one organisation, a public services of cloud computing are shared between organisations, allowing the fees associated with them to be shared as well.
