Most modern businesses are powered by their on-premise server hardware assuming that it creates a more secure environment for them. While having your data close by, where you can easily access it, sounds like a great idea, know that there are also issues that arise from these kinds of arrangements. In fact, your business might be the most dangerous place you can host your data. Here’s why.
## On-Site Servers Are More Likely to Fail
Let’s get one thing clear: hosting on-site is not inherently a bad thing. If it’s the *only* place you’re storing your data, you need to revisit your strategy.
Most businesses will keep their server stored away somewhere out of sight, mostly due to their own self-imposed limitations, in a location that’s not climate-controlled or properly ventilated. Worse yet, it might be connected to a single power source and a single Internet connection. Shoot, it might not even be *secured* the way it should be.
Make no mistake, a server is a piece of machinery that can and will fail when you need it most, and you need to be ready to replace it when it does. Oftentimes, by then, it’s too late, unless you’re prepared with data backups, alternative hardware, and a budget that’s ready to eat the cost.
In comparison, a modern cloud option is the superior option.
## Cloud-Based Servers Are the Superior Choice
Here are some examples of ways cloud-based servers beat out the traditional on-premise server:
- Access to redundant power supplies in the event a power outage occurs.
- Multiple fiber connections in the event the Internet goes out.
- Comprehensive security and authentication systems with biometrics and security guards.
- Advanced fire suppression systems.
- Multiple copies of your data saved in geographically diverse locations.
On-premise servers might have served your business well, but as you grow and scale, so too does the risk of failure. The cloud can safeguard your business’ server infrastructure and ensure your business is ready for anything.
But how do you adopt such a solution?
## We Can Offer Cloud Adoption Support
We could rave on and on about the cloud, and for good reason.
We believe the cloud can offer businesses just about any tools they need to succeed. Not only does it make for an economical delivery mode for most services, but it allows businesses to access convenient solutions formerly reserved for enterprise-level corporations. Instead of paying for an expensive on-site server unit and the environment to host it, you can instead pay for a cloud-based server that makes your monthly costs more predictable. You can transform a capital expense into an operational expense, and the value of that is huge.
