There is a lot of buzz out there about cloud computing today, but is a "cloud" computing solution really what you need to run your business? Some cloud services are inexpensive, and may be well suited for test and pilot project, but it's not suited for running mission critical business applications. Mission critical managed servers hosting applications need security and high availability. The cost of services can vary wildly based on how secure and how available services are required for the business. The level of security and availability is dictated by business management and not technical managers. In most cases there is customization that must be done to meet the business requirements. Off the shelf cloud services don't meet the custom requirements as they are ordered over the web. If you want "custom" cloud services you need a provider who will take the time to ask you questions about compliance requirements for your industry, recovery time objectives, and recovery point objectives to come up with your specific solution. LightBound has the resources and technical staff to provide the cloud computing solution to meet your business needs.
