Cloud Servers

Cloud hosting services provide hosting on virtual servers which pull their computing resource from extensive underlying networks of physical web servers.

Generally, our clients can tap into their service as much as they need to, depending on their requirements at any stage. This can result in cost savings as they only have to pay for what they use, and because they can access it at any time, they don’t need to pay for additional capacity.

At Alcimi we provide two types of cloud servers

Public

Most examples of cloud hosting involve the use of public cloud models such as OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox; hosting on virtual servers that pull resource from a pool of other publicly available virtual servers. The same public networks are used to transmit their data; data which is physically stored on the underlying shared servers which form the cloud resource

These public clouds will include some security measure to ensure that data is kept private, and would suffice for most installations

Private

Private clouds are more suitable where security and privacy is more of a concern, we use ring-fenced resources, such as servers and networks. We encrypt your data so you can easily share information with your friends, colleagues and visitors to your website.

If you need more information about which cloud service is right for you, please contact us, and one of our team will discuss your options.
