What cloud computing means for your business today

Most businesses already use the cloud for email, files and everyday apps. So for most Perth businesses, the cloud computing question is less about whether to move, and more about how to make it secure, connected and good value.

  • Work from anywhere

    As a result, your team can reach files and apps securely from the office, at home or on the road.

  • Pay for what you use

    Instead of buying servers up front, you scale up or down as your needs change.

  • Less hardware to look after

    The provider runs the data centre, so you have less equipment to maintain and replace.

  • Built-in resilience

    Cloud services are also designed for high availability, which reduces the impact of a single failure.

SaaS, PaaS and IaaS in plain English: SaaS is software you use online, such as Microsoft 365. PaaS is a platform for building apps. IaaS is servers, storage and networking you rent rather than buy.

What we do

Our cloud computing services in Perth

We design, migrate and manage cloud environments that fit the way your business works. As a result, you get one team for the plan, the move and the support afterwards.

Cloud readiness and planning

First, we review your current setup and costs. Then we recommend the right mix of cloud apps, cloud servers or a hybrid setup.

Microsoft 365 setup and migration

We move email, files and teams to Microsoft 365, including Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive, so everyone works from one place.

Azure and AWS infrastructure

We also design and manage cloud servers, storage and networking on Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services for Perth businesses that need more than cloud apps.

Cloud backup and recovery

Your cloud data still needs its own backups. So we set up separate, tested backups you can restore from.

Cloud security and access

In addition, multi-factor authentication, access controls and device management keep your accounts and data protected.

Cost and licence management

We review your subscriptions and usage regularly, so you only pay for what your team actually needs.

Security and data

Keeping your data safe after the move

Moving to the cloud doesn’t move responsibility for your data. That’s why security is part of every cloud computing project we run for Perth businesses.

Shared responsibility

The provider secures its data centres, while your accounts, access and data remain yours to protect.

Identity and access

First, we switch on multi-factor authentication. Then we give people access only to what they need.

Backups you control

We keep separate copies of your cloud data, so a deleted file or account isn’t lost for good.

Data location

Where a service offers it, we can keep your data in Australian data centres.

FAQs

Cloud computing in Perth: common questions

Can’t see your question? Ask our team.

About the cloud

What is cloud computing?

Cloud computing means using software, storage and servers over the internet instead of running them on your own hardware. For example, Microsoft 365 is software you use online (SaaS), while cloud servers and storage you rent are infrastructure (IaaS).

Is the cloud cheaper than running our own servers?

It depends on your business. Instead of assuming, we compare the total cost of each option, including licences, hardware, support and staff time, so you can decide on facts.

Is our data safe in the cloud?

The provider secures its data centres, but you are still responsible for your accounts, access and data. So we set up multi-factor authentication, sensible access permissions and separate backups.

Do we have to move everything at once?

No. Many businesses run a hybrid setup, with some systems in the cloud and some on site. Therefore we can move in stages, starting with what gives you the most benefit. That’s a common approach to cloud computing for Perth businesses.

Moving and support

How long does a cloud migration take?

It depends on your number of users, the amount of data and the systems involved. Once we have assessed your setup, your plan sets out the stages and timing.

Will our team lose access during the move?

We plan each move to keep disruption to a minimum, and we tell your team what to expect before anything changes.

Do we need the cloud to use AI tools like Copilot?

Microsoft 365 Copilot works with your Microsoft 365 data, so a well-organised Microsoft 365 setup comes first. We also check permissions, because AI can only be as safe as the access settings behind it.

About our AI consulting and automation

Can you look after our cloud after the move?

Yes. Our managed IT services cover ongoing support, security updates, backups and licence reviews after your migration.
