Go to the Cloud


According to the cloud Monitor 2015 put about 44 percent of companies in many countries already a Cloud Computing. Around 24 percent are planning or discussing the move. Exactly to this target group, the "Roadmap to the Cloud" directed Paessler AG.


The focus of the "Roadmap to the Cloud" by Paessler the administrator is in the SME sector: Why the cloud, which risks need to be considered and how can he convince decision makers of the introduction, when he chose not to?

According Paessler for many admins, the question in the room "Cloud or Not?" Compared with startups, which often make use of the cloud due to lower financial resources, and corporations, which the cloud allows an internationally usable IT infrastructure, were sitting SMEs between two stools , The data cloud can be an opportunity, but the introduction fails often to the platitude: "We have always done so," as a synonym for well-established processes. Their conversion would cost power. They also state that the IT department would usually consist of one or a few leaders who attend often under time pressure all sorts of projects and daily work. So few resources for changes are free.


Ten Reasons for the Cloud


But precisely herein are the advantages, such as Paessler Roadmap explained: Admins in the SME sector often have direct access to senior management, the sovereign ownership over the entire IT and the cloud have sometimes been unconsciously introduced (for example in the form of Dropbox or Google Calendar ). These advantages can be used Admins to internally explain the benefits of the cloud. In Paessler Guide has put together ten arguments, including cost reduction and transparency, more flexible working opportunities, increased reliability and less work with updates. Advice on the selection of a suitable provider round of the preparations.

Hedge foresight


Once the decision has for the cloud, are recommended for the initial projects that bring direct improvements, such as an online holiday calendar or a collaboration tool for project management. The connection loss to the cloud provides loud Paessler one of the greatest dangers is because in this case threatens massive impairment of the business processes and financial losses. To prevent this, the use of a unified monitoring software that sounds an alarm at the first sign warning signals worthwhile. In addition, it allows the exact localization of the problem cause, what the remedy simplified and accelerated.
