Introduction to Cloud Hosting
There are many things that make a firm great because running a business has many aspects. You can’t just focus on part of the business and expect it to excel.
But then there are those parts of the business that you can never ignore and you have to give importance to them, regardless of your business size and industry and one such aspect is the software solutions.
It doesn’t matter which type of business you are running, you must be using some kind of software solution because it has been long since software revolutionized the complete world and become an inseparable part of every firm.
This is one of the main reasons why most of the firms are very much selective about the type of software solution they use.
But just choosing the best software solution won’t be enough as you will also have to bring in the best way to access the software and currently, nothing is better than cloud hosting.
In the cloud hosting solution, the software solution is hosted on the cloud platform rather than being installed on the desktop.
If you are planning to do so then you have come to the right place as in this blog post, we are going to discuss some important facts that you should know about cloud hosting.
Similar UI
One of the most important things that you should know about cloud hosting is you will get the same UI even after shifting to the cloud platform.
The biggest concern of most of the people while moving to the cloud platform is they will have to unlearn everything they have learned about the use of the software which is a part of their business for a very long time.
In the modern era, business continuity matters a lot and this is why no one wants to waste time in learning a new UI of software even after working for it for so long.
But you will have to face none of such kinds of problem as even after moving to the cloud, you will get the same UI,
We can say that the cloud-hosted version will be a replica of your desktop installed software solutions in terms of UI and features and therefore, you can start working on your cloud solution right from the day your company will shift to it.
Datacenter matters the most
Choosing the right cloud hosting provider is a very crucial aspect of moving to the cloud platform and there is no room for error in this part of the shift to cloud hosting.
There are many cloud hosting providers out there since the demand for cloud hosting services is very high. And with so many options, sometimes, it might become difficult for you to choose the best.
In most cases, people prefer to go through some of the basic parameters for analyzing a cloud hosting provider like their uptime, security level, price, experience but they ignore the most important parameter and that is the data center used by the cloud provider.
The data center used by the cloud vendor decides the level of security, uptime, and your cloud experience. Make sure the cloud provider you are choosing is based on a certified data center that must be located in a disaster-free zone.
Not at one go
One of the worst things that you can do while moving to a cloud hosting solution is moving all your software solutions to the cloud at one go.
At first, cloud hosting might look like a magic wand that will act as a panacea for your firm and that is true to some point but this doesn’t mean that you should move all your software solutions to the cloud at one go.
There are many legacy software solutions in your firm that will work better when installed on the desktop and therefore, you will have to decide which software to shift and which to not precisely.
If you will move all your software solutions to the cloud without analyzing, then this will create chaos in your firm since there will be a complete disruption in your workflow.
Move step by step and start with shifting a couple of or if possible, only one software solution to the cloud in order to see how things are going.
Then, slowly, after proper analysis, you can go on to moving your other software solutions to the cloud.
Understanding the cloud hosting basics before moving to it will allow you to make the most of your move since there are many things that people don’t know about cloud hosting and this forces them to miss the golden opportunity of using cloud hosting solution at its 100% efficiency.
