Almost every business today relies heavily on technology. But with information technology (IT) evolving so rapidly, it quickly becomes difficult and expensive to keep your IT software and hardware up to date and running smoothly, and all your data secure. Business expansion means even greater expense, hampering your growth potential.

Whether your business is just starting out or expanding, cloud computing provides an elegant solution to all your IT needs. Simply put, cloud computing is a set of pooled computing resources and services, delivered over the Internet.

For business owners, especially those of small or medium-sized business, cloud computing can significantly reduce complexity and financial outlay over on-site hardware. Rather than maintaining on-site servers, backing them up, and updating software on every employee's computer, you pay a service provider, like Beta Technologies, to handle all of that for you in a secure off-site location. Your employees simply connect to your server, from anywhere in the world, through an easy-to-use, Web-based portal. Everything on the server runs as if it were at your office, but with blazing-fast performance.

Cloud computing allows businesses to instantly scale their IT requirements up and down to meet ever-changing demands, thereby matching costs directly to revenues. With no need to make usage predictions, up-front capital investments, or over-purchase hardware or software to meet the demands of peak periods, cloud computing is a much more cost-effective approach to IT. The cloud also allows businesses to promote their sites aggressively and spontaneously, welcoming as much web traffic as their creative marketing can stir up.

You never worry about up time, maintenance and other IT hassles. Cloud9's partners (ISP & Datacentres) guarantee 99.9% up time on their network and hardware infrastructure. High-speed SANs (Storage Area Networks) and specialized configurations provide data redundancy, security and failover. If you need more space, we can increase your allocation with the click of a button.

And the best part? This cost-effective, on-demand computation power, storage and bandwidth is all flexible by the instant, you pay only for what you use.

In short, with a Cloud Server, you enjoy unparalleled flexibility, stability, security and reliability. No matter what you do with your servers from running line-of-business applications to conducting e-commerce, you'll do it more efficiently in the cloud.
