AWS & AZURE

Doing business in a cloud is more than just a lovely way to pass the time. Cloud computing services make sense from both a strategic and performance angle. However, business clouds differ from personal virtual storage in several key ways.

Business clouds:
  • Extend storage
  • Help you manage resources
  • Provide access to data at any time, from any location
  • Improve security
  • Provide access to technology that may be out of reach for smaller business

The most popular cloud computing platforms are Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and relative newcomer Google Cloud Platform (GCP). When comparing services from each of these platforms, it’s important to consider the size and goals of your company, your expected growth rate, and your budget.
