Globalization requires organizations to have greater economies of scale with restrained funding for non-core business initiatives. Although the economics of cloud computing are compelling, BendBroadband understands that building a strategy to reconstruct IT environments and application platforms to take advantage of the cloud environment requires more than flipping a switch in the data center. The Cloud expands on the value of a virtualized infrastructure by providing fully automated or scheduled provisioning processes, security assurances in complex regulatory environments, and flexible business terms. Cloud solutions can result in:

• Lower infrastructure and maintenance costs
• Preservation of capital
• Elasticity to respond to changing business needs
• Acceleration of new application platforms
• Reduction of carbon footprint through consolidation and lower energy consumption

It starts with a Cloud discovery assessment. You define the business challenges that you must meet—your business continuity requirements, and growth plans, as well as your technology assets, and your financial goals and objectives. From these components, we help you develop feasible options and solutions for a more cost effective way to manage your IT.
