Cloud Services

We recognise that one size doesn’t fit all, just like one solution doesn’t suit all clients. Creating your tailored solution is about using all the technologies available to maximum benefit for you.

Whether you require on-premise infrastructure or a cloud-only strategy, or something in between (hybrid), ACIT can propose, implement, maintain and migrate a solution that meets your needs.

At its simplest, cloud services is using shared resources to reduce capital cost and operating expenses, while increasing reliability, scalability and ease of access of your IT services.

It is a web-based system that gives you up to date access to hardware, software and development.

Here are some of the benefits you can expect when you shift to cloud-based computer services.

Eliminate hardware expense

With cloud services you can access servers and other hardware from web connections instead of buying hardware and machines. You only pay for your usage, the hardware is maintained by the provider, which is kept up-to-date so you do not have to worry about out-dated equipment.

Mitigate risk

By storing your data in the cloud, risks such as the chances of theft, fire or damage are removed. In addition, cloud services gives you more flexibility as you only pay for the storage you actually use. Plus you can add additional storage at the click of a mouse.

Lower software costs

Cloud services allows you to access different software packages as and when you need them. This means your software usage can increase and decrease depending on staff size, leaving you with only the number of subscriptions you require.

Higher reliability

Cloud service providers must have super-high reliability to remain competitive. For you, this means your systems will have close to 100% up-time so you do not have to worry about the support or network costs.

Access anywhere

As more businesses have remote workers, not just on the road but operating from home, your staff can access software and systems from anywhere by using cloud computing tools.

Security and privacy

These are often raised as concerns about using cloud-based services. With cloud services, the infrastructure and the operating tools have to have very high standards of security. Your own data still needs to have strong protection but the hardware itself is usually considerably more protected.
