We don't want to overwhelm you with technicalities to explain the major differences between having a server in Cloud and still have it physically in the company, in the famous server room or data center.

We want to show you some concrete situations in which a cloud server has facilitated corporate life and preserved business, proving to be a big winner in the challenge between cloud and physical.

"The Internet doesn't work anymore!"
Unfortunately, it happens that the corporate Internet line has problems and is not reachable. In this case, your physical server will not have much damage, however, users may not have access to online programs. The cloud server lives thanks to the Internet line that allows connection to the Datacenter. You may therefore think that an internet problem could stop the company and the business. In part it may be true, but your server in the cloud can still be used through other connections, such as the mobile Hotspot connection.
Better yet, by applying a technology of Smart Office, you will find your desktop on your mobile phone exactly as you left it, with only the power of the data connection.

"There is no more current!" or, for the more experienced: "The UPS battery has run out!"
Physical servers are often - or should be - supported by a battery unit (technically called UPS - Uninterruptible Power Supply, translated as uninterruptible power supplies) which powers the server even in the event of a power failure, such as the battery of the your smartphone. These batteries should be redundant, that is, it would be optimal to have at least two, so that in the event of a failure of one unit, the second unit can still keep the system active. However, these solutions are often expensive, bulky and can still fail, run out and require a guarantee and active maintenance.
The cloud serverBy relying on an infrastructure in a highly reliable Datacenter, it will never reach the point where the UPS batteries will be exhausted, because in a Datacenter there are thousands of them and redundancy is a must. In the worst case scenario, every failure in the IT infrastructure is promptly reported and checked in the Datacenter, so it is possible to quickly replace the discharged battery.
It is practically impossible for your cloud server to stop (or "download")!

"We need to budget wisely!"
Companies, especially in recent years, have tended to increase the budget dedicated to IT and the digital world. A great investment advantage is given by the Cloud.
This is because cloud services, such as the Cloud Server, are canonized (therefore, they are not capital investments, but in operations - OpEx) on a monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annual basis, depending on the customer's needs.
Furthermore, there is no large initial capital (so-called CapEx investments), the only hardware purchase that we always recommend is that of a high-performance firewall connected to the corporate network because this gives us the necessary protection to operate in a Cloud environment with security. more.
Another huge advantage is that the fee can be adjusted according to the IT resources you need: for example, today there are 10 employees and you need only one server in the Cloud with average performance, but in two years you will be 30 employees. with an area dedicated to precision 3D technical drawing. In this scenario it will be possible to add services to the Cloud server you already own and adjust the monthly fee accordingly.
In essence, CapEx investments for the IT area can be concentrated on other activities and projects within companies, with a view to focusing on the core business, and not on the purchase of large servers (and all the hardware related to the server). expensive that in 5 years will be obsolete, slow and no longer reliable.

These are the most important situations for us and that push our customers and never want to go back once they have switched to a Cloud solution, but the advantages could be many more and with the development of new technologies new scenarios could open up.

To discuss with us, to give us other examples of advantages, or to evaluate a solution in the Cloud, contact us and we will have the pleasure of talking about it together.
