YOU’VE GOT QUESTIONS, AND WE’VE GOT THE ANSWERS!
General
What is cloud computing?
Cloud computing refers to the delivery of computing services, including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence. There are three models of cloud computing; Infrastructure-as-a-service, software-as-a-service, and platform-as-a-service. VEXXHOST provides Infrastructure-as-a-service, delivering virtualized computing resources over the Internet.
What are the benefits of cloud computing?
With cloud computing, you only pay for the services you use. Therefore, it is a lot more cost-efficient. Cloud computing is also highly flexible, making it easy to scale up according to your business needs. Find out why cloud computing is the next step for your business by reading The Basics of Cloud Computing Economics.
What is the difference between infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and software-as-a-service (SaaS)?
SaaS makes available applications managed by a third-party vendor to their users by using the Internet. IaaS will deliver cloud computing infrastructure (servers, network, operating systems, storage) through a dashboard or API, which gives its users full control over the infrastructure.
What types of applications can run in the cloud?
All types of applications, really!
How can I make sure my data is safe?
When it comes to cloud computing, security will forever be a top priority, as it is one of the most significant influencers for companies as they determine their cloud strategy. It is the safest option for three reasons: redundancy, secured access to your files, and a safe sharing policy. Check out this blog post about data security in the cloud if you’d like to learn more!
