In today's economy, datacenter outsourcing and software as a service makes sense. Why spend thousands of dollars purchasing routers, servers, backup and security devices, cabling, hiring expensive IT engineers, buying expensive sofware, and so on? You can save a lot of money at 724 Internet Solutions by using our existing equipment, infrastructure and IT staff.

The benefits of cloud computing—accessing your data and applications stored on remote hardware by way of the Internet instead of keeping it all in your local workstation—still requires a leap of logic for many. But now that a workstation can go anywhere as a smartphone, a stripped-down notebook, or even an e-book reader, it's practically a virtual desktop operating in conjunction with a virtual server anyway. If the user can be anywhere, so can the source for data and applications.

The cloud equation adds in the flexibility to scale bandwidth up or down at will and the affordability of pay-as-you-go service, and subtracts energy-devouring hardware from your local environment. Factor in the best IBM hardware and VMware virtualization in the industry and the result is an industry-leading global cloud with an instrumented, interconnected, intelligent approach to smarter computing.

It all comes together in the 724 cloud portfolio, which introduces the industry's first set of enterprise-directed cloud services and integrated products. It brings sophisticated automation technology and self-service to tasks as diverse as software development and testing, desktop and device management, and collaboration.  

Concerned about security in the cloud? Not to worry.
We can host both public clouds and private clouds. Private clouds run behind their own seperate firewalls and intrusion prevention systems on seperate internal networks completely isolated from the rest of our network with VPN connections between your location and 724's.

With today's competitive market and economic downturn in just about every industry, board members of these large corporations are constantly trying to slash operating expenses while retaining profit margins and high quality products and services and keeping their investors happy. It's not uncommon for large corporations of 500+ employees to spend $500,000 per year or more on their IT department alone. These costs range usually from a minimum of retaining 2 full time IT employees at cost of perhaps $100,000 per year in salary each. Then there is security, electricity to run their data centers, air conditioning expenses to keep their data center cool, backup generators to maintain power in emergencies, and then there is the cost of the hardware itself.

The answer to the ever expensive problem of retaining internal IT departments is to run your data center in a hosted cloud environment. In a cloud environment, companies would no longer need to retain 2 full time IT engineers to maintain their data centers. Instead, companies can probably get by with just  a single IT technician at perhaps a salary of only $50,000 per year to maintain their onsite PC computers. This savings alone would result in a $150,000 reduction in employee salary. See the cost savings comparison charts.

In addition, there are no large upfront hardware expenses in a hosted cloud solution.
