4 Considerations When Selecting a Cloud Provider   no comments

Posted at Jul 5, 2022 @ 9:00am cloud

Once you have decided that storing your data in the cloud is the right decision for your business, you will need to find the right provider and data center. You are placing your mission-critical data in the hands of a provider, so you must make sure that you choose the right one.

With all the cloud connectivity providers, it can be quite challenging to choose the right partner. All cloud providers are not created equal and a company’s choice of a cloud provider is critical to long-term success.

Here are 4 crucial considerations your company must consider when choosing a cloud connectivity provider:

Supporting Multi-cloud and Hybrid Cloud Strategies

More and more companies are choosing a hybrid cloud and/or multi-cloud approach to their cloud deployment. There are providers that offer the best of both worlds. If you choose such a provider, you need to know what support their public cloud provider has for hybrid and multi-cloud strategies.

Meets Security Standards

Frequent system audits are also necessary in order to ensure that all data centers meet or exceed industry standards for data security. When you are searching for a cloud provider, ask potential candidates about their compliance with SSAE-18/SOC1. This set of standards measures the amount of control that a data center maintains over your sensitive data and financial information. An audit will report any flaws in the data flow. You should also inquire about compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This regulation ensures the security and privacy of private health information that is stored or hosted in a data center.

Data Security

What is the cloud provider doing to keep your business secure? It should go without saying that security remains a crucial factor in your cloud needs, as no company can afford to compromise on it. Ask potential providers what network and server-level security measures they have in place to protect your data. Security measures to look for include encryption, firewalls, antivirus detection, and multi-factor user authentication. Technology is constantly changing and improving, and you need to be able to trust that your cloud provider will keep up with the evolution of security needs.

Service Levels and Support

It is hard to evaluate customer support until you will run into errors, complications, and queries and will need to contact the provider’s support team. If you need help, will you be able to get it quickly and simply? Before you choose a cloud provider, ask questions upfront about what kind and level of support they offer.

Choosing to put your business information or IT infrastructure in a cloud provider’s data center rather than housing it on-site is an important decision that requires careful vetting of your potential provider. Once you have chosen the right provider, you can trust that their data center will keep your company’s important information safe and secure.

Why move to The Cloud? Here is August’s cloud tip!

Cloud Architecture is Exceptionally Flexible

The entire concept of cloud computing is divided into three forms of cloud. These include Public cloud, Private Cloud and Hybrid Cloud. All three have significant characteristics; however their choice depends on the personal requirements of businesses.

 

Check out the benefits!

  • Public Cloud

In this type of cloud form, data stored is in a cloud server- which is located at a distant place elsewhere. It enables users to share and access data from anywhere and at any point of time. This means public cloud promotes shared environment for businesses. It can save having to hire a tech department and can be placed in a data center like TurnKey, where our techs can handle your entire IT infrastructure.

  • Private Cloud

A private cloud is beneficial for those organizations that do not want to share their confidential data with any third party. Data stored in a private cloud is secured in the firewall settings, which enable only the authorized parties to access data and do not invite any third party. The private cloud model is good for super-secure businesses, but tend to cost more to buy all the equipment and hire techs.

  • Hybrid Cloud

A hybrid cloud is a mix of both and gives users or business entities the advantage of both the cloud environments. Suppose, a business enterprise wants to share its services and products with its clients across the globe, but at the same time wants to hide the confidential information from them, Hybrid cloud architecture would suit best for such types of businesses.
