HostedBizz – Canada’s Fastest Growing Cloud Provider, Delivering Business Critical Services across Any Device, Any Location

The Silicon Review

IT is a critical part of running your business, but that same technology can also restrict your agility and slow your business down. Managing IT is expensive. Physical infrastructure lacks scalability and is vulnerable to security attacks – slowing down productivity and putting critical data at risk. Leveraging enterprise-grade cloud services solves these issues and delivers hyper-availability to business operations. Moving to the cloud is the first step to liberating your business from the limits of traditional IT systems. Finding the right cloud provider is the second. Cloud computing is perhaps the most flamboyant technological innovation of the 21st century. It is a 21st-century marvel that holds its importance in almost every field you can think of. This is because it has seen the fastest adoption into the mainstream than any other technology in the domain. This adoption has been fueled mainly by the ever-increasing number of smartphones and mobile devices that can access the internet. Cloud computing is not just for organizations and businesses; it’s also useful for the average person as well.
