Cloud Services for Salt Lake City Businesses
For small and medium-sized businesses, an off-the-shelf server squirreled away in an unused closet somewhere in the office isn’t going to cut it anymore. Aside from the obvious cyber-security risk, that kind of setup is a business interruption disaster just waiting to happen. And even with a larger, more capable setup, the cost of maintaining and upgrading the hardware and software for such a system locally would likely prove prohibitive.
In today’s hyper-competitive world, companies must constantly keep abreast of the best, most cost-effective technological advances to improve efficiency save money, and increase profitability. Case in point: The Cloud.
Why The Cloud?
The term “Cloud Services” encompasses a wide range of hardware and software configurations, deployed on demand and securely over the internet. 911 IT’s Cloud services provide our customers with instantaneous access to their applications, documents, and resources without having to buy and maintain complex hardware on-site.
With a cloud-based infrastructure in place, your team members can upload, download, archive, share, edit, and publish documents within an integrated and secure environment. Moreover, our Cloud Services improve communications, simplify email messaging, enhance corporate marketing, and improve every aspect of your organization’s routine business procedures.
How Cloud Services Work

Since your Cloud is deployed on our servers, there is no need for the customer to budget money and resources on the infrastructure needed to host their applications and data. Best of all, because your applications and data are hosted off-premises, they are safe from physical loss due to theft, vandalism, or natural disaster.

Cloud Services FAQs
- QWhat are Cloud Services?
Cloud Services are typically defined as a framework in which scalable IT-related resources are provided to multiple external customers as a service via the Internet. The Cloud delivers resources such as data storage, application hosting, and network resources from a centralized location. They can take the form of a public cloud or a private cloud.
- QWhat’s the difference between a public cloud and a private cloud?
A public cloud includes services that a provider makes available to numerous, external customers on the web, either for free or for a fee. Gmail and Windows Azure are examples of a public cloud. A private cloud, on the other hand, makes data and applications available to users through the organization’s own internal infrastructure. Private clouds are often deployed when public clouds are deemed inappropriate or inadequate for the needs of a business.
- QWhat are typical business uses of the Cloud?
Some of the foremost practical uses of the Cloud include data storage, application development and deployment, IT management, and workflow collaboration.
- QIs my company’s data secure in the Cloud?
911 IT employs a redundant industry-standard approach to security in the Cloud Services we provide. The measures we have taken to harden the security of our Cloud Services include firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, encryption, user authentication, and malware and ransomware protection.
- QHow do I prepare my company to move into the Cloud?
Preparing to migrate to the cloud is generally a simple process, especially with 911 IT handing the transition. But remember, the Cloud operates on your Internet Service Provider’s access to the Web. Thus, one of the most important things to consider is your network bandwidth. Since more data will be passing back and forth across the internet, you may want to consider upgrading your bandwidth to improve connectivity.
