CloudStrategies Newsletter: Volume 1 Issue 1 - Nov. 2010

Introducing CloudStrategies

  • What exactly IS cloud computing, anyway?
  • What does it do for my business?
  • How do I decide if it's right for my business?
  • How much does it cost?
  • How do I transition my IT to the cloud?

CloudStrategies was formed to help business decision-makers find cogent answers to these and the many other questions they have about cloud computing. Seems like everyone is talking about it, but the whole concept still remains, well, cloudy!!

Pete ZerrasI'm Pete Zarras, CEO and Founder welcoming you to the premier issue of the CloudStrategies Newsletter in which we will regularly bring you answers to these and the many other questions you have about the exploding world of cloud computing. Every story in every issue is dedicated to one simple objective: Providing business decision makers like you with the information you need to answer your questions and clarify the cost savings and other beneficial opportunities offered by cloud computing technologies.

Our stories will each talk less about clouds and more about strategies. Strategies your business can readily employ to dramatically reduce operating costs now, capital expenses later, all while achieving much higher levels of Information Technology services for your users than you do right now.

The experts at CloudStrategies bring extensive experience in the IT industry having managed and supported many on-premises infrastructures for years. We recognize the remarkable opportunities created by the advent of cloud computing and have devoted ourselves to helping our corporate and commercial clients come to fully understand and realize the benefits while avoiding any of the potential pitfalls.  Our strong relationships with the key players in the IT industry and our thorough knowledge of the products and services that deliver the best performance in cloud computing make CloudStrategies your best choice of partner when deciding whether and how to transition to this new era of business information management.

  • A cloud strategy offers you greater resiliency. Most providers operate multiple redundant data centers so if one becomes disabled your service will continue from the others.
  • A cloud strategy offers you greater flexibility. Your people have the same rich experience wherever they may log in from.
  • A cloud strategy offers you greater scalability. When you need to increase computing power to handle bigger workloads you don't have to plan for the acquisition of new hardware. You simply ratchet up the provisioning of your cloud infrastructure with a request.
  • A cloud strategy offers you focus. You can turn more of your own resources to focusing on your business and let IT specialists worry about how your IT infrastructure is going to support it.

We hope you will take every opportunity to make the CloudStrategies Newsletter an ongoing dialogue. We want to hear your reply to each of our stories, and get your input on what you need to know to enhance your ability to make the best decisions regarding your transition to the cloud. Each issue you'll receive a very brief bulletin listing the current stories and providing hyperlinks to them so you just click to read. Each story will offer feedback links and links to deeper resources.  We hope you enjoy and gain great insight from every issue of the CloudStrategies Newsletter.

While other people are all talking about the cloud, we're talking strategies.
