What are the latest trends in cloud computing?

Cloud computing has been rapidly evolving in recent years. Staying up to date with these trends is important if you want to get the most out of your cloud computing.

Windows 365: individual devices in the cloud

Windows 365 is Microsoft’s cloud-based service hosted on its Azure network. It allows you to use a virtual Windows PC (called a “Cloud PC”) from any device. This means you can access your Windows desktop from anywhere connected to the internet and have your files, settings, and applications. Multiple people in your organization can work from anywhere using the same virtual computer.

Print servers in the cloud

Cloud-based print servers are hosted print management services through a platform like Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud. They allow you to access a printer online instead of relying on a local print server. By integrating with a service like Azure Active Directory, you get improved security and centralized IT management. Because your print manager is available from any internet-connected device, you can print documents as you work from the coffee shop or local office.

Cost-effective cloud storage

We recommend businesses use Datto for cloud storage. Another popular choice is SharePoint, but it has storage limits on individual sites, slower retrieval times for large amounts of data, and is much more expensive.

Another cost-effective solution is Wasabi. With Wasabi, you have a much more affordable option for businesses with a limited budget because they only charge you for storage with no additional fees. It also offers faster performance in read and write speeds.

Utilizing some of these trends can help you get the most out of your cloud computing and provide your organization with more of the freedom and cost savings it offers.
