Thinking about buying a new server? Debating the benefits of the cloud? We’re here to help.
We talk to businesses every day who are looking for the best server solutions for their business goals. At RedNight, we’re convinced the cloud has ample benefits for any business need. Let us show you why we think the time to move away from on-premise servers and toward the cloud is now.
Cost
Large, upfront costs with ongoing maintenance and new equipment costs.
Fixed monthly costs that allow for streamlined IT budgeting.
Capital Expenses
Considerable costs with licensing and hardware.
None.
Maintenance
Dedicated IT staff for ongoing maintenance and repair.
None.
Security
Organizations require dedicated IT staff to manage security internally.
Enterprise-level security regardless of company size.
Mobility
Mobility and remote workforce require additional security and maintenance levels above standard setup.
Easy accommodation for remote working.
Scalability
Scalability requires new equipment and setup. Too much server space and too little server space becomes problematic.
Scalability is infinite and virtually instantaneous.
Bandwidth
Spam and web threats are blocked on premise – a heavy burden on bandwidth.
Spam and web threats are blocked in the cloud, with no effect on office bandwidth.
Admin Requirements
Substantial admin is required for monitoring and maintenance. Updates must be carefully scheduled around work schedules.
None.
Agility
Hardware is often locked-in at the time of purchase. Any upgrade requires CAPEX.
Product enhancements are performed frequently and in the cloud.
For most SMBs, the cloud is the best choice. The costs of purchase and maintenance is too great and the benefits are too few to justify an on-premise server.
