We hope you’re having a great Thanksgiving! While we’re sure there are plenty of things you’re thankful for, here’s a list of things companies taking advantage of cloud computing can be thankful for this year.
10. You can trust that your Thanksgiving won’t be interrupted by annoying phones calls informing you that your data center is down, forcing you to put down that turkey leg and start trouble shooting the problem.
9. There’s no need to constantly spend money on expensive hardware upgrades in order to keep up with the latest technology.
8. The cost of doing business doesn’t fluctuate month to month, allowing you to formulate a budget that makes sense and can be relied upon. Cloud computing services are subscription based so you know exactly what it costs this month, next month, and next March.
7. There’s no need to invest heavily in an infrastructure before you even start doing business. Money that might be spent on a private data center can be put towards your core services instead.
6. Your IT staff can take one major headache off their plates and invest their time in more important things, like expanding your company’s service offerings.
5. Your company is causing less damage to the environment by significantly reducing the amount of power used.
4. All the coolest new devices are designed for use with the cloud so you get to impress all your friends with the latest iPad, Blackberry Playbook, or other thin client.
3. The same thin clients that all your friends are jealous of are significantly cheaper than antiquated laptops so not only do you get to use the latest technologies, you save money doing it.
2. There’s no need to worry about those harassing pop-ups telling you that you need to download and install a new update every other day.
1. Working remotely is easier than ever, making those work from home days more productive than they’ve ever been.
