Remote Performance Management Solutions

Remote Performance Management Solutions offer a cost-effective remote monitoring and management capability to diagnose underlying network problems, assess network readiness and monitor application performance. This advancement is allowing businesses to capitalize on powerful applications such as VoIP, video, SaaS/ cloud services, disaster recovery and desktop virtualization.

Analysts caution that “75 percent of enterprises that do not perform a pre-implementation analysis of their IP network infrastructure will not achieve a successful VoIP implementation.”

Transitioning physically separate voice and data networks onto a single shared infrastructure without compromising the quality of either voice traffic or data traffic will require new practices and procedures. remote performance management solutions play a central role in successful network assessment.

Cloud computing is growing and as a result businesses are becoming increasingly dependent on cloud based technologies to run their businesses.  One example revolves around VoIP technology. Many business owners are attracted to VoIP because of its cost savings and applications that drive employee productivity; however some business owners hesitate because they are concerned about sacrificing call quality. This often occurs when companies conduct business with a technology provider that does not have the proper technical expertise or the tools to successfully deploy IP based solutions. Leveraging  advanced remote performance management software pinpoint network drains, all the way down to the appliance. The tool provides valuable insight that can determine which appliance such as a PC within an organization is sucking up bandwidth causing poor voice or video quality.

In order to keep up with the rapid pace of technology, data networks will need to become much stronger, faster, flexible and transparent. The success of a business’s operations will be greatly affected by network performance and remote performance management solutions allow businesses to diagnose network issues and resolve problems immediately.

Data networks are the lifeblood of business operations and companies should work proactively to protect their data assets in order to increase profitability and gain a competitive advantage.

Microsoft Azure and the Information Technology Puzzle

WHAT IS MICROSOFT AZURE?

Many businesses are searching for a cloud solution. They hear news stories about data loss, security breaches and cyber attacks and are concerned. The new cloud technologies are providing overwhelming benefits.

Microsoft Azure is an integrated cloud computing platform for building, managing, and supporting applications and services.

A cloud computing environment, such as Microsoft Azure, safely hosts your server and workstations in the “cloud”. This is custom-designed and managed space for your critical business data.

You can access your “virtual desktop” from your office, at home, on a tablet, or your phone. In each case, the “look and function” is the same. This means that wherever you are, your desktop and data is totally accessible with just an internet connection.

A Microsoft Azure specialist ensures that your migration to the cloud is an easy process. Your company ends-up with a fully-managed, well-maintained, secure working environment with 24/7/365 IT Help Desk Support.

WHAT ABOUT SECURITY IN THE CLOUD?

cloud service providers deliver higher levels of security and data integrity. This is because they make huge investments in resources and technology at a level that smaller businesses cannot afford.

WHAT ABOUT PRODUCTIVITY IN THE CLOUD?

There isn't a need to worry about servers, computing hardware, space requirements, power needs or software updates. Company management can spent more time focusing on company objectives and less time dealing with IT issues and downtime.

WHAT ABOUT ACCESSABILITY TO THE CLOUD?

24x7 accessibility from any location.  Data can be accessed anytime form anywhere. Staff can also access master files easily.

WHAT ABOUT SCALABILITY IN THE CLOUD?

A cloud hosted solution gives you scalable computing power, a predictable budget, and ongoing savings. This is possible by reducing physical hardware needs and eliminating/minimizing onsite data storage.

HOW ROBUST IS AN AZURE CLOUD SOLUTION?

The Azure cloud platform is more than 200 products and cloud services designed to help you bring new solutions to life—to solve today’s challenges and create the future. Build, run, and manage applications across multiple clouds, on-premises, and at the edge, with the tools and frameworks of your choice. 

Get security from the ground up, backed by a team of experts, and proactive compliance trusted by enterprises, governments, and startups.

Continuous innovation from Microsoft supports your development today, and your product visions for tomorrow.

Connecting to "The Cloud"

 

"The Cloud" has become a hot term in the data services industry. The cloud is used as a representation of the Internet in computer diagrams, and as a metaphor used to describe technologies such as server processing, data storage, security and voice applications that are gaining popularity among companies. The widespread use of the Internet has given birth to the idea of using the internet as a shared off-site data infrastructure. Read this article to find out about the advantages of Cloud Computing.

There was a time in the not too distant past when "cloud" meant only a visible mass of condensed water vapor floating in the upper atmosphere.

But now "the cloud" has become a hot term in the data services industry. The cloud is used as both a representation of the internet in computer diagrams and a metaphor used to describe technologies such as server processing, data storage, security and voice applications that are gaining momentum among companies. The widespread use of the internet has given birth to the idea of using the internet as a shared, off-site data infrastructure

Another term used in conjunction with the cloud is "Cloud Computing." This term refers to the real-time delivery of services and technologies over the internet that allows end-users to instantly access data and applications over the internet from any device. Cloud Computing allows companies to get more bang for their computing buck by accessing services on a pay-as-you-go basis that they may not otherwise be able to afford.

There are several advantages to Cloud Computing.

One advantage of Cloud Computing is it enables small to mid-sized businesses to leverage storage space and application solutions without having to make significant capital expenditures on hardware or software. As a company's needs increase the service can scale to meet the demand. The company pays according to use. And not only is this often more economical for users or companies, it also means that the amount of on-site computing infrastructure is greatly reduced. This becomes important as smartphones and tablets come to populate the computing landscape.

Mobility is another benefit of Cloud Computing. Since the application and data are stored in the cloud it's easy to access them anytime, anywhere. This gives companies with virtual employees extreme flexibility and increased productivity.

Cloud Computing can facilitate user collaboration. Multiple users can easy work together on the same project

Another benefit of cloud computing is disaster recovery. The data and application software are off-site. The information is protected by multiple, geographically-separated data centers with backup, archive, and failover capabilities.

Cloud Computing is has been slow to gain widespread acceptance, but the value proposition is quite clear. Though, there are security issues that still need to be worked out, the technology provides both a reliable and scalable solution that has the potential to greatly reduce an organization's computing expense and boost employee productivity.

As time passes, the trend is toward our online life being in the cloud.
