FAQ on cloud computing
Is the cloud worth it for smaller businesses, too?
Often, yes: you only pay for the capacity you use and save on your own hardware and its maintenance. In the initial consultation we check whether and how it pays off for you.
Is my data safe in the cloud?
With the right concept, yes: we rely on encryption, clear access rights and backups, and take the GDPR into account when choosing data centres.
Will there be downtime during the migration?
We plan the migration so that day-to-day operations remain as undisturbed as possible – usually in stages and with tests before switching over.
Which cloud providers do you use?
That depends on your requirements. We often work with Amazon Web Services, but we advise you independently of providers on performance, cost and data protection.
Can my data stay in Germany or the EU?
Yes. The major providers operate data centres in the EU and in Germany; if you wish, we set up your environment so that data is stored there.
What happens if something fails?
Monitoring reports incidents early, and backups and a well-designed architecture ensure that services are quickly available again.
How do I keep costs under control?
We set up budgets and notifications and regularly check whether resources are sized correctly.
