Cloud Computing
Say goodbye to buying and worrying about maintaining your IT infrastructure and resources. Say hello to act digital's Cloud Computing services, which will easily provide you, over the internet, all the servers, data storage, networking capabilities and software applications your business needs to thrive.
What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud Computing is the delivery of IT services – including servers, networking components, databases, storage, software, applications, among others – over the Internet.
These computing resources are hosted on a remote (cloud-based) data storage managed by a third-party provider like act digital, so they can be accessed by your business on-demand and with a pay-as-you-go pricing model.

Types of Cloud Computing
Whether you want to hire SaaS, IaaS or other Cloud service, first you need to decide the type of cloud architecture to implement them on:
Public Cloud
Owned and operated by a third-party service provider like Alter Solutions. A few examples of public cloud platforms are Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Private Cloud
The infrastructure is accessed and used exclusively by one organisation, and it’s maintained on a private network. This way, no other business will have access to the same IT resources you do.
Hybrid Cloud
By combining public and private clouds, a hybrid cloud enables your data and software applications to move between those two environments, giving your business the flexibility and agility it needs to gain competitive advantage.
Key benefits of Cloud Computing
Cost savings
Since you don’t have to pay for and maintain expensive hardware and software, you can choose exactly which IT services you need and get them at lower costs.
Higher speed
Given the variety of technologies and tools you can implement on-demand over the cloud, you not only grant agility to your business, but also freedom and innovation.Flexibility and scalability
According to your business needs at specific times, you can easily scale IT resources up and down. You can also do it on a global scale, deploying those resources to new geographic locations in an instant.
Enhanced performance and security
Especially on public clouds, hardware components are constantly upgraded and optimised. Plus, security is a big part of cloud services, so you can trust that your data, infrastructure and software will be protected from cyberthreats.
Better disaster recovery strategy
Automated and scalable disaster recovery services are a key component of the cloud. This will help you prevent data loss in case any threat comes your way.Learn all about the key trends, opportunities and challenges of the European IT market
