OSIT's cloud technology services

Enhance your IT flexibility by utilising cloud technology.

Using the cloud means that you access the applications and data you need through the internet, whilst refining your internal infrastructure and overheads. Cloud services are also highly scalable so you only need to pay for the IT services and capacity you require.

For example, Xero is a cloud-based accounting solution. Your programs and data are stored on Xero’s computers. You can access them from anywhere you have an internet connection. You don’t have to do backups, you don’t have to install upgrades, and you have fewer worries about viruses etc. And, rather than an upfront cost of hardware and software, there is a monthly or annual subscription fee.

We offer a Cloud Migration service. This is a consulting and solutions design service that will take you from where you are now, and into the Cloud.

Common Questions

Below are some frequently asked questions about our cloud services.

Our cloud services can differ based on the organisation's needs, size, and various other factors. However, the price we provide is the price you will pay.  No hidden costs, no additional charges. 

We provide support for a broad spectrum of cloud deployment options. Our cloud services include implementing and managing multiple cloud environments, whether it involves on-premise infrastructure, cloud solutions, or a mix of both.

When you store your data in the cloud, it sits securely on physical servers in data centers around the world. These data centers are managed by your cloud provider to ensure the safety and accessibility of your information.

Storing your data in the cloud means it is not limited to a single data center. Instead, it is distributed across a network of data centers to optimise performance, enhance security, and ensure redundancy. This means that even if there is an issue with one server or data center, your data remains safe and accessible from other locations within the network.

When you save your data in the cloud, you generally maintain ownership of that data while your provider aims to secure it. However, it's wise to review the specific terms of service of each provider to be certain.

Protecting your cloud data is a shared responsibility between you and your cloud provider. Your organisation must implement strong security policies and educate employees on best practices for data protection. Meanwhile, the cloud provider is responsible for maintaining a secure infrastructure and using tools to enhance data security.
