What are the benefits of using the Cloud in North Queensland

The benefits of using cloud services in North Queensland:

  • Reduce Information Technology overheads:
    • Hardware and software maintenance will in most cases become the responsibility of the company providing cloud services
    • Backups are managed and maintained safely off-site
    • Reduction in electricity  (no local servers or air conditioning to maintain)
    • Minimal IT support with hardware and software maintained by the service provider
  • Software upgrades are managed in many cases by the service provider
  • Greater data security. With data stored on other servers in different locations, there is contingency in the event of a natural disaster, power failure or other issue.
