We've come to part 7 of our cloud computing benefits series. Today we’ll be looking at why sending encrypted email is an excellent example of wise cloud computing for your business. 

Here in Part 6 in our series on Cloud Computing Benefits, we’ll explore powerful alternatives to dedicated servers and on-premise machines.  Let’s take a look at how employing hosted servers in a virtual infrastructure (also known as IaaS – Infrastructure as a Service) may have advantages for your business over using the traditional on-premise model.

There is a demand and increasing need for network security, especially with recent headlines continuously citing companies seeing security breaches and sensitive information being leaked or stolen.

Major companies like Sony, Bank of America, Facebook, Twitter and others worth billions have seen multiple security breaches because of negligence to protect their information. Whether it's a small business or a huge company, any network can fall victim to security problems.

Network security can be properly protected, and since it is a increasing need, there are many companies to look when considering your choices. And with more companies offering such services, business owners must look into a few things when outsourcing to a network company: cost, reliability, cloud network security options and other offered services are just a few top examples.

Think of it this way: physical protection for employees, legal help, and business asset protection are all no brainer plans to help protect your business, so, why should you skip out on network and online security?

Why should you compromise valuable or private information or simply neglect protecting it? Employee protection should always be a top priority, of course, but also the information within all devices.

According to a report by Charles Henderson of Trustwave on network security in 2011, some of the most at-risk information is payment data, board room minutes, trade secrets, and propriety data. Having any of that compromised comes at a huge liability for any company.

Don't let your information, network, email, and devices become compromised in an attack that could result in costly lawsuits, loss of valuable information, security breaches and a bad reputation among other businesses or customers. Stay on top of security and keep your business safe. 

Welcome to Part 5 of our 10-Part series on Cloud Computing Benefits.  In this part, we’ll take a look at the top 7 reasons why employing a Hosted VOIP solution may be worth checking out for your business.

Ever wonder why so many still seek out multiple vendors…one for their physical premise business security (including services like access control and camera surveillance) and another for their network security (for services like intrusion detection and virus protection?) 

We hope you have been finding the first few articles of our 10-part series on Cloud Computing Benefits useful and informative.  In today’s Part 4, we’ll be focusing on Cloud based Email.  Specifically, how does Hosted Microsoft Exchange® add value to you in your desktop cloud computing? 

Welcome to Part 3 of our 10-part series on the Cloud Computing Benefits you should know.  In this part we’ll take a look at PCI compliance in the cloud and why this is so important to your business, especially now. 

Perhaps you are already familiar with the benefits of using Hosted Access Control.  If your company uses this type of business security today, you already know it includes such helpful attributes as remote internet access and the convenience of having your security provider host the software required to run your security system.

We hope you enjoyed Part 1 of our 10-Part series on Cloud Computing Benefits as we explored the advantages of using desktop cloud computing.
