Cloud Deployment Tips to Help Build a Better Infrastructure

Cloud computing has become a massive benefit for modern businesses, but every company has unique needs that require tailored technology solutions. A one-size-fits-all approach can be detrimental and leave you wasting money or worse—not getting the value out of your investments. In this month’s newsletter, we offer five key tips for effectively deploying cloud services in your business.

Choose the Right Provider

Selecting the appropriate cloud provider is crucial. Consider major providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure for extensive computing needs. These platforms are reliable and backed by some of the largest companies in the world. Our IT consultants can help you develop a cloud strategy that maximizes flexibility and minimizes costs.

Control Your Costs

Major cloud providers offer tools to help manage and control costs, preventing resource waste and reducing expenses. You can also use third-party apps to monitor costs or ensure you’re not paying for unused SaaS applications. Effective cost management is essential for maximizing the value of your cloud investment.

Manage Storage Efficiently

Data storage incurs costs, so using different storage options based on data access needs is important. Take advantage of lifecycle management policies offered by providers to move less critical data to cheaper storage as it ages. This approach ensures cost-effective data management without compromising the accessibility and security you will depend on if you choose to use cloud-based services.

Use Discounted or Free Services

Many cloud providers offer discounts for long-term commitments, especially for predictable computing usage. This helps avoid higher on-demand pricing. Additionally, look for free tier offerings or promotional programs that can provide significant savings. Rewards programs can also offer valuable benefits for your organization.

Audit Your Services Regularly

Regular audits of your cloud services are essential for maintaining cost control and performance. Audits reveal what you’re getting for your money and help identify opportunities for optimization. Regular reviews ensure your cloud infrastructure remains efficient and cost-effective.
