Cloud Computing

Cloud computing offers a range of advantages over the traditional IT setups by delivering web-based software and solutions on-demand.

What is cloud computing?

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services (servers, storage, desktops, VoIP and more) over the Internet. Cloud computing can helps organisations to reduce their server costs, increase the performance of their systems and become more flexible in their working practices.

Our services

Akita are at the forefront of business cloud computing solutions. Our advanced technical setup, cloud experience and Microsoft Partner status allows us to offer a wide range of cloud services including:

Cloud computing enables you to upgrade computer systems without the inconvenience and huge costs of traditional server upgrades.

Users of cloud services also benefit from the very latest software with levels of redundancy and security which were previously only available to large organisations or those with deep pockets.

Our capabilities

We have established a significant datacentre presence in two geographically separated ISO27001 facilities. This allows Akita to offer competitive and industry-leading cloud computing solutions.

A key benefit of the close proximity of our data centres is that Akita is able to physically take your data and seed it directly to the virtual environment. As well as speeding up and simplifying the process this also offers tremendous logistical and security advantages.
