Cloud computing has become the hottest trend for software applications. It frees up space, time and resources, and is easy to use. The cloud is one of the last pieces of the puzzle to globalization. It allows you the flexibility and convenience needed to adapt to the way people are starting to do business. Although it’s a great concept, some business owners and financial managers are wary of the new model and raise a brow with concerned questions. Who has access to my data? How often are backups performed, and how long are they kept? Is there a disaster recovery plan? What happens when our system goes down and how long will we be without our data and applications?
All are valuable questions which should certainly be addressed. Here’s the good news. McDaniel & Company has done the work for you! We have addressed these questions and have found a software hosting provider that we are confident with. It’s called the AppEazy system from Applianz. Their patented technology virtually provides a turnkey solution allowing your business the ability to deploy critical business software in minutes with no PC up-grades and essentially zero downtime. Your employees can securely connect to their software from any office, with any PC, Mac, or Ipad.
Security
The AppEazy advanced security is a completely embedded system. The integrated firewall, provided by Host Linux Operating System, secures communication internally and externally. It only allows access to secure ports on the system that are encrypted. It also uses an SSL Certificate managing secure remote access with a 128 bit bi-directional encryption model. If you have recently had an employee leave your company, you can remove their login credentials with a few simple clicks on the Applianz web administration site.
On-Site and Off-Site Backups
Applianz stores up to 30 days of backups both on and off-site to a secure remote server, and backups are performed automatically nightly. Not only is your critical data backed up, but your entire operating system and user settings will be restored as well. If disaster does strike, your system can easily be recreated.
Disaster Recovery
In the event of a business interruption, your most recent nightly backup will be loaded onto an Applianz system in one of their data centers and your remote access capability will be switched to the backup system. Even with a complete system failure or natural disaster, users are usually fully functional within 4 hours or less.
