Clare Computer Solutions Recommends Creating a Cloud Computing Strategy to Meet Business Needs

SAN RAMON, Calif., Dec. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Businesses that are hazy on cloud computing, are more likely to get better results by working with a knowledgeable IT professional who can develop a clear approach and strategy, according to San Francisco Bay Area IT service provider, Clare Computer Solutions. 

"Most businesses are not equipped to effectively analyze how to go to the cloud and choose a secure and reliable data center," says Brad Mendonsa, CEO of Clare Computer Solutions. "By completing a feasibility study and creating a strategy, we are able to direct companies to select the cloud solution that will match and grow with their current needs and future objectives."

There are many levels of cloud computing, ranging from having data stored privately on a company's premises to hosted entirely off site at a data center. Determining the best option can be achieved through a risk analysis that examines the processes the system will be supporting, the age of the applications, age of servers and what can be moved effectively to the cloud.

When choosing a cloud approach and implementing it, Clare Computer Solutions reviews the following:

• Security of data center
• Performance of cloud applications, its impact on the company's bandwith and how it's performing for customers
• Testing functionality, performance and security
