Do You “Love” Spending Money On Servers,
Backup Devices
And IT Upgrades?
(If Not, Maybe It’s Time
To Move To The Cloud)
As hurtful as it feels to us, we know that no one likes spending money on IT. Sure, we all want our laptops, e-mail and applications secure, running fast and readily available 24/7/365, but your friends aren’t going to visit your office and oooh and ahhhh over your new server, and it certainly won’t provide you hours of entertainment or bragging rights at your next high school reunion.
So the question is, how can you get the tools you need to work without spending an arm and a leg? More and more businesses are choosing to move their network to the cloud. By hosting your server, data and applications off-site (cloud computing), you free yourself from having to purchase, install and maintain your own in-house computer network. That way you’re not required to buy a new server and workstations every 3 to 4 years to keep everything updated; all you need is an Internet connection and a web browser, and your cloud provider does the rest.
In addition to the cost savings, here are some of the benefits of moving
to the cloud:
- Automatic Backup. Businesses that host their server, applications and data in the cloud don’t need a separate backup. In some cases, that can save a business thousands of dollars by eliminating the need for a separate BDR (backup and disaster recovery) device and service.
- Work Remotely From Any Device. By hosting your server and workstations in the cloud, you can access key applications, documents, e-mail and processes via a web browser, freeing you to work remotely from whatever device (laptop, tablet, PC) you’re using to access them. All you need is a good Internet connection and a web browser.
- Easier Cash Flow. When your network is in the cloud, you aren’t faced with a big, expensive network upgrade every 3 to 4 years. All you pay is a fixed monthly fee for the computing power you need, just like a utility. If you need more users, space or features, you add them. If you need to dial it back, you can do that too because you’re paying a monthly service fee, not for the physical hardware and software licenses that you have to install and maintain on-site.
If you want to find out if all or parts of your network can be hosted in the cloud to save you some money and to simplify IT, call us at 703-991-0101 during the month of February for a free Cloud Readiness Assessment. There’s no cost or obligation, and you just might discover that it’s the solution you’ve been looking for!

With all of the different IT companies to choose from, we couldn't be more pleased with the experience we have had with the GRS Team.
We own four different day care centers, and they fully manage and monitor all four centers, including the network, servers, and workstations. They also migrated our email account to Office 365 with ease. Because of GRS, our business is running more efficiently and smoothly. They are a very honest, trustworthy company, and their group of technicians are skilled in everything we could ever need for our business. GRS Technology Solutions is the best decision we have made for our company.

"We constantly get compliments from our clients and business partners about how efficiently our business runs."
GRS Team has done a tremendous job at making sure we have the fastest and most up-to-date systems in place to enable us to get things done in the shortest amount of time. As a business owner, I still have sleepless nights, but one of the things that I don’t worry about anymore is losing all the irreplaceable data we have and our system.
We are a very fast-growing company and our network holds a lot of critical data that I could never afford to lose. Plus, we need to be in compliance with some federal regulations like HIPPA and PCI. If we had a disaster like a fire or a tornado, I know that we would be back up and running the next day because GRS is constantly monitoring our backups and our system to make sure nothing is going wrong that would jeopardize the security of our data and our records. I also have the peace of mind knowing I have someone to call who will get us back up and running ASAP if something goes down. You almost can’t put a price on it. I trust GRS and have a personal relationship with the owner. That’s important to me because it gives me confidence that I can completely trust them to do what’s right for my company. You don’t get that with big IT firms.
