Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices on-demand, like the electricity grid.  The term cloud is a modern metaphor for the Internet.  Cloud Computing can also be referred to as Software as a Service or SaaS.

Rather than making a large capital investment to provide the hardware and software infrastructure for a particular business application, you can simply contract to use those services online.

Some common examples of a business application delivered by the cloud model would be Salesforce.com, QuickBooks Online, and Microsoft Exchange Server.

A common misconception is that a hosted solution such as that being offered by Vectrocon will actually replace the computers and networking in your office.  Instead the Hosted solution works separately and you will still need your office computers to access the Internet and also run any Vertical Market applications. It is possible to outsource all of your server infrastructure using services such as Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud, but for most small businesses it is prohibitively expensive.

Vectrocon can provide Hosted Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint and Office Communications Server.  These software applications are key to mobilizing your workforce and making sure they have upto the second information which can be shared across the organization.
Microsoft Exchange is the industry standard email and communication server software.
Microsoft SharePoint is an intranet site which will allow a company to provide document management and collaboration services to its staff members.
Microsoft Office Communications Server is a chat based utility for internal company use.

The advantages for using a Hosted Solution are as follows:

• Low Upfront Costs & Fast Deployment.
• Latest Software is available – Exchange 2010 and SharePoint 2010.
• No need for an expensive Internet connection with a SLA, i.e. T1.
• Email, Calendars, Contacts and Documents on SharePoint are still accessible should you lose Internet or electrical power to the office.  Access to data can be via desktop using Outlook, Web Browser or Smartphone.
• Zero maintenance.
• No long term contract.  Agreement is structured on a month to month basis.

Vectrocon’s  Technosurety hosting solutions can be offered in a bundled package which combines the 3 main software applications and other key features for a best price. 

Or the services can be picked a-la-carte with 5 & 25GB capacity mailboxes available.
