Cloud Services
With cloud services, your business no longer needs to invest in local servers, personnel for this, or other infrastructure. All you need to create a functional workplace is an internet connection. These services provide a flexible and cost-effective solution that can be tailored to your company's specific needs and preferences.
What are cloud services?
Cloud services for businesses are characterized by user access to systems, services, and storage from various types of devices, whether you're working in the office or remotely. All it requires is an internet connection and access to create a functional workplace.
Cloud services are normally divided into three levels:
- IaaS (infrastructure as a service) which includes virtual machines, servers, storage, and backup.
- PaaS (platform as a service) which includes databases, web servers, and development tools.
- SaaS (software as a service) which includes services like email tools, Microsoft 365, CRM tools, and financial systems.

How we move your business to the public cloud
To get started working with cloud services, your business needs to carry out a migration. This involves moving your services and data to the cloud. This is how Nordlo helps prepare you for the transition to public cloud services:
Advantages and Disadvantages of Cloud Services in Practice
The biggest advantages of cloud services are related to scalability and the enormous power of innovation. With file storage on cloud disks, your data is also protected, even if something happens to your computer, and your IT provider ensures that your services are continuously updated and maintained. Once you are up and running, you also have a fixed cost for operations, maintenance, storage, and security, which makes budgeting easier. You will save money and can instead fully focus on your core business.
Since various cloud services are quite flexible and adaptable to businesses of different sizes, challenges, and needs, there are no common disadvantages to moving parts of the business to the cloud. However, there is a risk if the migration is not done thoroughly from the start. A poorly executed migration can result in insecure systems and a more expensive service that performs poorly. Therefore, it is crucial to have a partner with good experience in cloud solutions and migration, so everything is done right from the beginning.
Which cloud service suits me?
Given the vast amount of data a company generates and consumes daily, handling it locally becomes both expensive and time-consuming. The solution is to have operations, storage, and infrastructure elsewhere than in your own server room. Here, a private, public, or hybrid cloud solution can be used.
