WHAT IS THE CLOUD?

What exactly is 'the Cloud', and how do we use it? Phil covers how the Cloud is used to run your business without the limitations of owning and managing your own infrastructure. He introduces the two main uses of the Cloud: computing and storage.

WHAT GETS STORED IN THE CLOUD?

From free Cloud storage platforms, to OpEx private cloud, what are your options when it comes to keeping data in the Cloud? How it is stored by your Cloud provider affects your system's performance as well as your data security, but different businesses will require different Cloud solutions.

 

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE CLOUD?

When it comes to the Cloud, there are two main different types. Cloud providers can offer public cloud, which is largely accessible to any business, whereas private cloud is more controlled. Phil explains what these differences mean for your business, and the debate between public vs private Cloud.

According to Phil, the way you use the Cloud underpins and elevates your wider business strategy. Your Cloud provider can work to your business goals. Watch the video to find out how.
