What is the Cloud?

"The cloud" refers to servers that are accessed over the Internet, and the software and databases that run on those servers. Cloud servers are located in data centres all over the world.

Cloud computing is described as the process of using a network of remote servers, hosted via the internet, to store, manage and process data, rather than hosting it locally. This means your business does not need to invest in its own hardware.

A Cloud backup service saves copies of your business’s files to another location. This is very useful because if you were to lose your files or accidentally delete them, you have an external backup from which you can recover them.

Your backups may be stored in various locations around the world. However, for Data Protection purposes you will want it stored in the country you operate. That’s why we offer UK data storage for all our clients.

There are different pricing mechanisms depending on your provider, however, the majority operate on a pay-as-you-go service. This is where you pay month to month or year to year with a rolling subscription.

There are 4 different types of Cloud:

Office 2021 is sold as a one-time purchase, which means you pay a single, up-front cost to get Office apps for one computer. One-time purchases are available for both PCs and Macs. However, there are no upgrade options, which means if you plan to upgrade to the next major release, you'll have to buy it at full price.

Microsoft 365 is a subscription that includes the most collaborative, up-to-date features in one seamless, integrated experience. Microsoft 365 includes the robust Office desktop apps that you’re familiar with, like Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. You also get extra online storage and cloud-connected features that let you collaborate on files in real-time.

It all depends on what tier of Microsoft 365 you have access to. Here is the complete list of all available on the top tier called Microsoft 365 Business Premium:

Bookings, Delve, Excel, Forms, Kaizala, Lists, OneDrive, OneNote, Outlook, Planner, Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Bi, PowerPoint, Project, SharePoint, Stream, Sway, Teams, To Do, Visio, Viva, Word, Yammer.

OneDrive is an online storage service where you can store all your files. This allows you to access them from any device once you have signed into your linked account.

SharePoint is an online-based service that allows you to create sites to share files and collaborate across your business.

"OneDrive is like your data server, SharePoint is the online file explorer."

Windows 365 is the world’s first Cloud PC. Windows 365 securely streams your personalised Windows desktop, apps, settings, and content from the cloud to any device. A Cloud PC provides customers with a virtualized computing experience where you can stream your Windows from the Microsoft Cloud to any device.
