Cloud computing is a cost-effective tool for businesses. Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud are the top vendors but there are many others which may be more suitable for you. But what type of cloud services should you prefer? Here we give you some tips on the vendors that offer you cloud services that suit your needs:
Scalability
As you hire more employees your cloud storage needs will increase. To ensure you are choosing a flexible cloud provider, ask if the vendor will be able to provide additional storage space and other features which you may require over time and also if the pricing is according to your growth needs.
Security and Backup
Your data is more vulnerable to breaches in cloud. If you are dealing with large volumes of data, you need to be sure the respective service vendor is able to address your problem and is constantly backing it up in case of any problems down the line.
Round the Clock Support
Choose a service that offers technical support for your business 24 hours a day, every day, including holidays. You need to know about the average time in which they generally reply and resolve your problem, and whether the people on the helpline are people with actual engineering knowledge. Otherwise, there is no point in hiring a vendor who won’t be available when you need their support the most.
Maximum Uptime
Lastly, choose a service that is flexible to your needs as you may need business information on the go. Sometimes, a cloud service remains inaccessible to users via the internet for some time. This is known as downtime. Almost every cloud provider occasionally experiences this. Choose the one with the least downtime. The best vendors in the business guarantee 99.9% uptime with 24/7 backup, and you shouldn’t settle for anything less.
