When many small businesses do their research to figure out what’s the best IT networking solution for them, one apprehension that will certainly come into play is security. In a hybrid cloud, the infrastructure is generally public, so this might lead some to question how safe their data and personal files are on the cloud.

We here at FLEXcloud understand these concerns, and one of the cornerstones of our philosophy is to give our customers peace of mind when they enter the cloud.  In order to deliver on this promise, we constructed our own state of the art firewall for small businesses.  Our firewall and virus protection software is the most current on the market. This will ensure that although you may share infrastructure with others, your data is private and secure.

In addition to our small business firewall, we have employed several methods to handle any threat, whether it is an attempted intrusion or hacking, or a natural disaster that disrupts your access to the cloud. These include

·         24/7 monitoring and instant alerts to FLEXcloud technical support for attempted intrusions.

·         Industry-standard network management and documentation.

·         Remote backup of your onsite server data to the cloud. This will ensure that even if the worst happens and your computer is stolen or there is a fire or natural disaster, your data will be secure and available.

We take the protection of your data and personal files seriously, and that’s why we have developed the firewall and operating procedures necessary to keep them secure. When you partner up with FLEXcloud, you can enjoy the benefits of the cloud with the peace of mind of knowing your data is safe.

For a small business, upgrading your IT network is a Catch-22. On one hand, you need it. Older technologies can be prone to outages, security breaches and shoddy operations. With the growing need of effective data storage and backup as well as 24/7 IT support, your business will surely suffer if you don’t have up to date technologies. You could suffer an outage or a loss of data, which equals a loss of customers and revenue. Upgrading your IT network is a necessity you can’t afford to go without.

However, there’s the matter of cost. You may not be able to afford to go without it, but can you afford to do it either? Small businesses often have a very thin margin and simply can’t afford nor have the space for new hardware. Add in the costs of software licensing fees and several IT professionals to handle your day to day operations, and even larger companies may find these costs and space issues burdensome too.

This is where hybrid cloud computing can give your business a competitive edge without sacrificing too much in cost. When you jump to the cloud with FLEXcloud, you get up to date hardware, the newest software and complete 24/7 IT support for a small monthly fee.  On top of that, as new software updates and technologies emerge, your business will be on the forefront – how many of your competitors can say that?

If you want to stay competitive in your industry but are afraid of the costs associated with being current, FLEXcloud can help you achieve your goals. Learn more about the FLEXcloud advantage here or call us today at 1-855-456-3539.
