Optimise Business computing with Cloud Hosting

The performance criterion is one element which counts in every sphere of business organisation. The best performer always becomes a leader in business arena and really takes a lot of effort and thoughtful decisions that takes a person to the next level. The business needs are getting complex with passage of time. This complexity has become an earning opportunity for many across the world. In the internet domain there has evolved a concept of cloud hosting to suffice the need of complex need performance and speed. Cloud hosting is a facility that allows a person or an organisation to store and modify data or increased performance of communication and even increased speed of website, over the Internet.

There has been ever growing need to maintain continuity to business operation whether big, small or medium and even a small disruption hurt the business in a big way. This makes it utmost necessary to resort some predefined solution and back up that will enhance the performance with minimal cost. Cloud hosting service is one solution that can be relied upon by small and medium enterprise which provides host of facility from hardware facility to store large amount of data with high speed internet access for the website with authorised access by the owners of the service rather than compromising on the security.

There are millions of small and medium enterprises across the worlds who are trying to make it big in the market and gain a fair share of the market but every business organisation could not make real success story. There are various websites that offer cloud hosting service with various facilities. The most important plus point of cloud hosting facility against the dedicated hosting facility is the cost incurred to set up hosting facility. Generally websites providing hosting services charges client only for the usage. The more the usage the more the cost incurred and the less the usage the less will be the outflow. So small and medium organisation have to carefully chalk out the needs of their entity and determine the quantum and quality of hosting service to be used.

Moreover small enterprise would not be able to build server facility to accumulate, manage and disseminate data but cloud hosting allows one to use multiple servers across the globe for such purpose thereby providing lot of flexibility to users. The cloud hosting service is now available at reasonable price and small and medium enterprise can notch up the service with ease as there has been a spurt in number of players making the competition very high. Moreover clients also achieve scalability i.e. they could achieve grand storage facility with high processing power. 

The advent of cloud hosting is to quick performance with reliability which will ensure continuity of business operation and recovery of data in case of any fault. Moreover the maintenance cost to be incurred is borne by website providing the service thus making it more suitable for small and medium entity. In spite of the challenges that cloud hosting faces it is one of the most sought after options by business enterprise across the world to optimise need, cost and efficiency.

Learn How To Train Your Big Data







Guest Talk in Enterprise Channels by 
Mr. Sridhar Pinnapureddy, Founder & CEO CtrlS Data Center India.



As small and medium enterprises witness the clear business advantage that big data gives to large corporations, their interest in harnessing the power of their own data is growing. SME's have never been known as early adapters of technologies but in 2013, the question that most companies are asking themselves is not 'Do we even have big data?' but 'what can we do with our big data?'

What is big data?

Big data refers to huge volumes of data that are gathered from multiple disparate sources. Data streams can be anything from RFID sensors, twitter or other social media streams, credit card transaction data, user information, GPS coordinates, local weather information and other sources. The data points are heterogeneous and in volumes of many hundreds of thousands or even millions each day.



Data do for your company?

If data is properly gathered, stored, sorted and analyzed, it can yield businesses intelligence and knowledge that translates into real world advantages for organizations analysis data sets on huge scale. many trends and insights cannot be gained without big data.

 An online store for example, may not be able to gauge it's brand value or properly identify it's most valued customers, it's most profitable SKU's or the promotions that are most effective, by anlysing just daily or monthly sales and usage data.

If it were to analyze every single transaction ever made, every single promotional coupon ever used and other data that it had recorded, it would be able to accurately pin point most valued customers, analyze weekly and seasonal sales trends, judge the effectiveness of different promotions and other important data. By analyzing social media feeds and mentions of it's brand name, the organisations could get real time trend analysis of it's brand value. Huge data sets allow much more complex analysis and this makes many unique insights possible; big businesses have been using this business intelligence for many years now, to give them an advantage in the market.

The challanges of big data

Though Big Data can be a very powerful tool if used correctly, it provides many challenges to companies of all sizes. These difficulties are tougher to deal with for SME's, which is why most are these organizations have failed to take advantage of big data till very recently. Collecting data is not a problem these days, there are multitude of sources that generate huge streams of information.  The problem is the storage of this data. How does an organization record every data point and store is securely? If irrelevant data points are to be discarded and only important data points are to be stored, how is the data sorted?


Once the data is collected and stored, the most important task is the correct and speedy analysis of the data and correlation of seemingly disparate data sources to yield insights.

 All of this requires resources that most SME's do not have access to, such as huge amounts of cheap, secure storage, massively powerful parallel processing, large memory capabilities and fast connectivity.

Big data for small businesses: Made possible in the Cloud

This is where cloud computing comes in; the economies of scale of huge data centers from companies like CtrlS make it possible for companies with limited resources to use big data, economically and effectively.

Cloud Ushers a New Era of Computing

The traditional mode of internet computing involved client server model with one node as client requesting resources from the delivering node called server. It does sound simple but the fact is it doesn’t optimize the computer resources efficiently.  The problem arises when one needs to multitask and the server can’t support it or the server can be overloaded.  Even adding more servers doesn’t assure the full use of the resources. This is where the newer and much more effective concept of ‘cloud computing’ steps in.
             Cloud computing is a natural evolution of virtualization, service-oriented architectures, autonomic and utility computing.   There is no single server that delivers the emails once the user logs in, it is technically in a cloud (bunch of servers all over data centers infrastructure that respond to the client requests and serves the mail).

                    The most common conclusion of cloud computing is that since there is no central server so there is no chance of the central server failure. In such a scenario once the main server fails the impact is visible on the backup server as well. With cloud computing a retailer has to purchase the software only when he needs it, instead of buying a copy of the software for every single machine in their organization.

              Retailers are always on the lookout for increasing their efficiency and reducing the cost. Retailers always face the problem of dealing with the ever growing applications and overlapping applications. When Retailers enter new market, the complexity increases and the IT expenses go up, but in India that not the case. Retailers can serve a lot by subscribing to cloud computing.  A lot of our expenditure can be cut through using cloud. Retailers manage thousands or in some cases in lakhs of computers in different locations. By subscribing to Cloud services networking of computers can be avoided, there is no requirement for storage units and no need to install firewall and antivirus protections. With Cloud hosting retailers can move from an idea to production within a short span of time, without dealing with long term vendor contracts with little capital invested.
