After Successfully Moving to Managed Services with ProviDyn, Partnership Against Domestic Violence Takes Advantage of the Cloud

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) January 31, 2012

ProviDyn, a provider of IT support, strategy and services for small and medium-sized businesses, announced today it has migrated Partnership Against Domestic Violence (PADV) to private cloud services. Taking advantage of ProviDyns private cloud will allow the organization to better share information across multiple locations, efficiently and cost effectively.

Six months ago, PADV selected ProviDyn to provide managed technology services for its headquarters and two satellite locations. ProviDyn was able to assess and stabilize the organizations existing network and provide recommendations for upgrading equipment when the budget became available. To conserve funds, ProviDyn suggested that PADV consider private cloud services which would conserve budget, offer seamless sharing of data and information across locations and give the organization access to a stable server environment and updated applications.

Private cloud services can make a world of difference for a small or medium sized business that might not have the resources, space or cash flow to create and maintain a solid technology infrastructure, said Hamish Davidson, president and co-founder of ProviDyn. PADV is a great example of how moving to a private cloud can allow a business to do more, with less money and fewer hassles.

The cloud has increased our operational efficiency and delivered a truly cost effective solution to sharing information across our network, said Meagan Fulmer, vice president of development for PADV. ProviDyns technology enhanced the way our teams collaborate which makes it a lot easier for us to save the women and children we serve.

With private cloud services from ProviDyn, companies benefit from:

Remote Access – Access files and data from anywhere, anytime

Hosting of Critical Business Applications – ProviDyn manages and supports all business applications, automatically keeping them up-to-date and running at peak performance

Security Proper encryption and expert firewall management provides deep layer security for a companys critical information and systems.

Cost Savings – Eliminates the need to make a large investment in equipment, along with hiring personnel for technology management and support

Scalability Enterprise class systems priced to fit client needs and the flexibility to quickly and easily expand as the business grows.

Backup and Restoration Replication and backup of data and systems to protect critical data and allow for rapid restore in response to a critical event

After Successfully Moving to Managed Services with ProviDyn, Partnership Against Domestic Violence Takes Advantage of the Cloud

Rise Helps MSPs Gain Advantage with Guidance, Services to Meet 2012 Business Trends

MIAMI FL (PRWEB) February 02, 2012

From ITEXPO/ MSPAlliance MSPWorld, Rise, a premier provider of cloud computing and hosted IT services, announced their cloud services are helping managed service providers gain a competitive advantage by addressing the top business concerns regarding moving to the cloud. New research from the Cloud Industry Forum (CIF) recently announced by Andy Burton, CEO of Rise and chairman of the CIF confirms that confidence in the reliability of vendors is key to overcoming ITs top concerns regarding cloud-based services. Rises certification and significant track record of success help MSPs gain credibility with first-time purchasers.

According to the survey of 400 end-users from Enterprise and small and medium size IT organizations, security and privacy of data in the cloud top the list of concerns for both private and public sectors, followed by confidence in vendors, Internet access, cost of migration and contractual lock-in. Despite this, an astounding 98 per cent of those already using cloud-based services are satisfied with existing hosted services and cloud deployments, and more than 94 per cent plan to expand their investments in 2012.

With the rapid growth in the US cloud market, its proven ground that once the initial adoption of a cloud service is achieved, the trend is to further extend hosted services to other core areas of the business, said Burton. In order to reduce barriers around that initial experience and commence rich partner relationships, MSPs must address their customers concerns head-on. By choosing a reputable, certified and reliable cloud platform, MSPs and cloud service providers can provide their customers with the assurance they need to cost-effectively expand to the cloud and gain business advantage.

The CIFs 2012 Cloud Predictions whitepaper will be made available for download on the Rise website http://www.rise.co following publication in mid-February. To learn more about CIF, visit http://www.cloudindustryforum.org/.

The research conducted by CIF in January of 2012 shows that while organization size will no longer be a determinant of rate of adoption, the mid market will seek a disproportionate level of assistance with on-boarding data and other professional services. Implementation and managed services will be a key point of differentiation among successful suppliers.

Rise equips its channel partners with certified and award-winning infrastructure they need to provide cloud services to their customers. This includes virtual and dedicated servers, storage, backup, web hosting and disaster recovery. Rise host these services from the secure infrastructure of Rise’s D ataCenter on Demand and provide 24/7/365 support.

In honor of its commitment to delivering products and services for outstanding adoption and application of innovation, Rise was named by Microsoft as the 2011 Global Hosting Partner of the Year.

We believe that every organization will have at least a part of their IT services provided in the cloud. Their ability to manage this increasingly distributed IT estate is critical to moving forward. Certified Service Providers that make information available to their partners and vendors to enable IT governance and provide confidence to customers will see increased levels of trust and adoption, Burton concludes.
