Cloud Computing Services

Cloud Management Service allows your businessess to achieve unmatched agility and scalability without having to invest in your own infrastructure. It provides users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in third-party datacenters. It relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale, similar to a utility over a network. At the foundation of cloud computing is the broader concept of converged infrastructure and shared services.

InKnowTech brings a structured approach to choosing which workloads to move to the cloud, making an appropriate choice of the cloud provider and putting in place sound processes to manage the cloud-based infrastructure.
