Cloud Services

Empower Your Business To Do More With The Cloud

Cloud computing delivers computing services like storage, processing and software over the internet, allowing on-demand access and scalability. It differs from traditional IT by providing resources on a pay-as-you-go basis, reducing local infrastructure and maintenance. Cloud services providers deliver services for enterprises through distributed infrastructure, automation, advanced networking and management tools.

Benefits of Service Management in a Cloud Environment

Working with a cloud services provider offers several advantages over traditional computer networks. Your company can:

  • Increase user capacity and coverage: If your company needs powerful computing, you need significant hardware resources to support your work. Your cloud service provider has extensive resources like servers to support your needs. Service management helps organizations allocate and manage cloud resources, ensuring optimal utilization and cost-effectiveness.
  • Establish faster network connections: Your team can access several platforms in real time from nearly any device.
  • Outsource server maintenance: With all your data in the cloud, your cloud provider will manage server maintenance since you’ll use their servers. Service management lets organizations monitor and optimize cloud services performance, ensuring consistent responsiveness for users.
  • Reduce IT support calls: Real-time access to all your data can reduce your downtime and need for IT support. However, if you need help, you can contact your service provider.
  • Increase agility: Service management enables faster deployment and provisioning of cloud services, allowing organizations to respond quickly to changing market conditions.
  • Save money: Organizations reduce their overall cloud computing costs by optimizing resource usage and spending and eliminating wastage.

What Are Cloud Services?

Cloud services provide computing resources in an online environment. They enable higher computing resource availability, cost savings, scalability and enhanced disaster recovery. Cloud support is available from service providers who host the network on their servers. Any users with the password have access.

The three types of cloud networks include:

1

Public Clouds

A public cloud is offered by third-party providers over the public internet, making resources like storage and applications accessible. Though it is “public,” you can still password-protect the environment. Advanced security features include firewalls, access controls, intrusion detection systems and ISO 27001 and SOC2 compliance.
2

Private Clouds

A private cloud serves a single organization, providing exclusive use of resources such as servers and networking. This setup provides the best security, such as encryption and network segmentation, because it keeps everything in-house.
3

Hybrid Clouds

A hybrid cloud combines the best features of public and private clouds — including security features — allowing data and applications to be shared between them.

A Cloud Setup Overcomes:

The limitations of physical resources

When you use a cloud network, you gain more hard drive space and RAM than you could from your physical computer equipment. Businesses can flex computing resources up or down based on demand and handle peak workloads without over-provisioning resources.

The inconvenience of local networks

Cloud computing provides ubiquitous access to resources and applications, enabling remote work and collaboration. All resources, documents and data are accessible to any user with the password, regardless of location.

The need for high-quality user devices

With your resources in the cloud, your team can use their existing computer equipment without upgrading to a higher-quality setup.

Costs

Businesses avoid large upfront investments in hardware and infrastructure by only paying for the resources they consume, eliminating capital expenditure.

Reliability and redundancy

Cloud providers offer reliability and redundancy by distributing resources across data centers and regions, minimizing downtime and data loss.

Types of Cloud Support From PCH Technologies

PCH Technologies is a trustworthy and reputable cloud provider with extensive experience hosting cloud networks for various companies. We provide our clients with industry-leading performance and security.

Our various cloud services come with add-ons to customize your network for your needs. Our main service categories are:

  • Platform as a Service (PaaS):

    We’ll provide a development platform where you can create and modify your software apps. PaaS is ideal for companies that need a simple way to work on their apps and related projects.

Cloud Services FAQ

What does "moving to the cloud" really mean for my business operations?

At its core, “moving to the cloud” means shifting your company’s essential tools and data from physical, on-site servers to a highly secure and resilient online environment. For your day-to-day operations, this translates into tangible benefits like secure “anywhere access” for remote work, enhanced real-time collaboration, and greater reliability. The cloud also allows you to scale resources as your business needs change, ensuring you only pay for what you use. Rather than just move you to the cloud, we create a strategic roadmap to ensure this transition aligns perfectly with your business goals, making your operations more agile and resilient.

Do you manage and support cloud platforms like Microsoft 365?

Yes, absolutely. Comprehensive management and optimization of Microsoft 365 is a cornerstone of our service. Our support goes far beyond the initial setup to include proactive security management, user and license administration, and dedicated expert support for your team. We handle all the technical complexity from implementing multi-factor authentication to configuring data retention policies—so you can get the full value from your subscription. Our goal is to ensure your team can focus on using these powerful tools, not managing them.

Is my company's data actually safe when it's stored in the cloud?

This is a critical question, and the answer is that true cloud security is a shared responsibility. While providers like Microsoft maintain secure data centers, the safety of your data within that environment depends entirely on expert configuration and continuous management. This is where PCH Technologies provides essential value. We implement a multi-layered security strategy, including advanced threat protection, strict access controls with multi-factor authentication, and data encryption. The result is a security posture that is far stronger and more resilient than what most businesses could achieve on their own.

Can you migrate my on-premises server to the cloud?

Yes, absolutely. Migrating businesses from on-premises servers to the cloud is a core part of our expertise, representing a strategic move to enhance your security, scalability, and remote access capabilities. Our process is built on meticulous planning, beginning with a thorough assessment of your environment to design a custom migration strategy tailored to platforms like Microsoft Azure or a hybrid solution. Our team manages the entire end-to-end migration, focusing on minimizing downtime and ensuring data integrity, and once your infrastructure is in the cloud, we provide ongoing management and optimization to ensure you get the maximum return on your investment.

Can you convert my business from Google Workplace to Office 365?

Yes, we specialize in seamless migrations from Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) to the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. This is a common request from businesses looking to consolidate their tools, enhance security, and take advantage of the powerful integrations within the Microsoft platform, like Teams and SharePoint. Our migration process is designed to ensure complete data fidelity and minimal disruption to your daily operations. We manage the entire transition, including the secure transfer of:

  • Emails
  • Calendars
  • Contacts
  • Files and data from Google Drive to OneDrive and SharePoint

Using proven methodologies and specialized tools, we create a detailed plan and execute the cutover at a time that least impacts your business. Following the migration, our service includes post-transition support to help your team acclimate to the new environment. We’ll ensure your employees are comfortable and productive, helping you fully leverage your new investment in Microsoft 365.
