Navigating the Cloud Spectrum

Businesses are presented with a spectrum of cloud solutions to choose from, each offering distinct advantages. NetConnect’s Managed Cloud Services encompass Private, Public, and Hybrid Cloud options, allowing organizations to tailor their cloud strategy to their specific needs. Whether it’s security and control in a Private Cloud, cost-efficiency in a Public Cloud, or the agility of a Hybrid Cloud, our services are designed to optimize your cloud infrastructure for performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.

What are the differences between the cloud options?

Private Cloud

is a cloud computing environment exclusively dedicated to a single organization. In a Private Cloud, resources like servers, storage, and networking are not shared with other organizations, providing a high level of control, security, and customization. This cloud model is ideal for businesses with strict data security and compliance requirements, as it allows them to maintain data sovereignty and tailor the infrastructure to their specific needs. Private Clouds offer enhanced privacy, reliability, and performance, making them suitable for mission-critical applications and sensitive data storage.

Public Cloud

is a cloud computing environment hosted and operated by a third-party cloud service provider. In a Public Cloud, resources are shared among multiple organizations, and services are delivered over the internet. Public Clouds are known for their scalability, cost-efficiency, and global accessibility. Organizations can quickly scale resources up or down based on demand, pay for what they use, and benefit from a wide range of managed services provided by the cloud provider. Public Clouds are suitable for a variety of workloads, from web hosting and development to data analytics and testing.

Hybrid Cloud

is a cloud computing environment that combines elements of both Private and Public Clouds. It allows data and applications to be shared between them. Organizations use a Hybrid Cloud to gain flexibility and optimize resource usage. For instance, sensitive data and critical applications can be hosted in a Private Cloud, while less sensitive workloads can leverage the scalability and cost-effectiveness of a Public Cloud. Hybrid Clouds enable businesses to adapt to changing requirements, implement disaster recovery solutions, and maintain control over sensitive data while benefiting from the advantages of the Public Cloud’s scalability and managed services.

Each type of cloud environment has its unique strengths and is chosen based on an organization’s specific needs, priorities, and business objectives.

What type of cloud environment should we consider based on our organization’s characteristics and requirements?

Private Clouds

Industries

If you operate in industries with strict data security and compliance requirements, like healthcare or finance, Private Clouds offer control and compliance.

Large Enterprises

Large enterprises with complex IT infrastructures may consider Private Clouds to consolidate resources, improve efficiency, and provide dedicated departmental resources.

Critical Applications

For critical applications central to business operations, such as ERP systems, Private Clouds can ensure maximum uptime and performance.

Sensitive or Proprietary Data

Do we deal with highly sensitive or proprietary data, like research institutions or pharmaceutical companies? Private Clouds can protect intellectual property.

Public Clouds

Startups & Small Businesses

For startups and small businesses looking for cost-efficiency and scalability, Public Clouds might be the optimal choice.

Create, Test, and Deploy Applications

If we need to create, test, and deploy applications quickly, especially for development teams, Public Clouds offer rapid resource provisioning.

e-Commerce & Content Delivery Services

Running websites, e-commerce platforms, or content delivery services? The global reach and high availability of Public Cloud providers can be beneficial.

Data Analytics

When handling extensive data analytics or big data projects, the on-demand computing power and data storage of the Public Cloud can be advantageous.

Fluctuating Workloads

Does our organization have fluctuating workloads, such as during seasonal retail peaks or events? Public Clouds with their scalability and pay-as-you-go model can be a good fit.

Hybrid Clouds

Varying Workloads

If we have varying workloads, data storage needs, and security requirements, a Hybrid Cloud approach might be suitable.

Disaster Recovery Plans

Implementing robust disaster recovery plans? Hybrid Clouds allow mirroring critical data and applications in a Private Cloud for business continuity.

Variable Workloads

Managing seasonal or variable workloads? Use the Public Cloud during peak times and rely on Private Cloud resources for baseline operations.

Regulatory Demands

In sectors with regulatory demands, Hybrid Clouds enable the maintenance of sensitive data in a Private Cloud while utilizing the flexibility of the Public Cloud for non-sensitive tasks.

Optimizing Costs

Optimizing costs by moving workloads to the Public Cloud during high-demand periods and to the Private Cloud during lower-demand times is possible with Hybrid Clouds.

I would first like to say thanks to the entire NetConnect team for always being there for me and the school. I truly appreciate the time and commitment both the sales and engineering departments put into my proposals and onsite support. In all emergencies they are either on the phone or onsite in an extremely quick timeframe. I have dealt with other vendors in the past that make promises but fail to deliver. This is the opposite with NetConnect. “They promise and they deliver”.

Director of Technology, Private EducationA NetConnect Client for Over 20 Years and Our Relationship Has Never Been Stronger

First, they respond quickly to our needs, understanding our business is time sensitive in nature. Second, from our experience, they go the extra mile for us. Our experience has been, we always get more than we thought we would get. They are transparent in their approach and strive for high quality output and high level of standards. Third, they think long term about your business, always suggesting what is best while taking into consideration the company’s budget, knowledge and future growth.

Lastly, NetConnect really gets to know your business.

Executive Director of Program Operations, Not-For-ProfitNetConnect Takes a Multi-Tiered Approach to Servicing Their Clients

It’s great to always have someone available to resolve our IT issues. Knowing there are several techs that are able to provide us with a high level service gives us peace of mind that our problems are solved professionally, accurately and immediately.

Knowing our network is being monitored, our data is being safely and securely backed up continuously and our security is being maintained to keep out cyber-attacks and viruses is even more valuable than the basic onsite troubleshooting.

Managing Director, Wealth ManagementTop Notch Service from a Top Notch IT Company

NetConnect is always quick to help with emergencies. Throughout the years they have shown they can adapt to any situation. If additional knowledge is required, you will often find your tickets being bumped to a high level technician. NetConnect keeps you in the loop to show their progress and a sense of how long something will take to complete. Monitoring has prevented our servers from shutting down in the past as well as exposing issues before we even notice them.

CPA, AccountingProblems Are Resolved as Quickly as Possible

It’s clearly not cost effective for us to have a full time IT person on board and so we engaged NetConnect to provide that service about 15 years ago and the rest is history. The service department is always available to access our individual desktops and address any issues we may have. There is never a complaint about the amount of time we take even though we are charged a flat fee. Just as important, the service technicians make every effort to accommodate us in terms of time. If we are busy with work, they access our computers after hours and weekends. NetConnect allows me to sleep better at night knowing that if something goes wrong with the data it can be easily restored quickly.Knowing our network is being monitored, our data is being safely and securely backed up continuously and our security is being maintained to keep out cyber-attacks and viruses is even more valuable than the basic onsite troubleshooting.

CFO, EngineeringYet We Run into The Same Type Computer Problems as Larger Companies.

From my experience when choosing an IT vendor, cost should never be the sole determining factor. Experience, expertise, and reputation must be factored in as well. With NetConnect “you get what you pay for” a competent, knowledgeable and experienced IT company that will provide your organization the highest level of service to help manage your IT infrastructure environment and applications.

Administrator, Private EducationCost Should Never Be the Sole Determining Factor

NetConnect has been there whenever I need them to provide the best solution for my daily IT business requirements. Most importantly, they are always available for emergency work whenever needed. As a 25+ year client of NetConnect, I always get the right person to help solve whatever IT issues we have. Diligence is necessary since some problems are not resolved with a push of button and their techs have proven to resolve the issue no matter how much time it takes.

Attorney, Law FirmA 25+ Year Client of NetConnect

Like all companies our data is very important to us and our clients. With our offices being so close to the Empire State Building we are concerned with online and physical security. Knowing, NetConnect not only backs up the data but replicates off site is a huge relief. They consistently give us advice on security issues. The support personnel are a key factor for us. The entire technical team provides excellent service and is familiar with our setup. There is always someone there to answer the phones and help with whatever issue we have. Overall, we are and have been very satisfied with the level of service provided by NetConnect.

Managing Partner, Financial ServicesOut of Town Replication of Data, I Sleep at Night

Our IT issues have always been addressed by NetConnect in a timely and consistent manner. The most recent was during a total outage of our Verizon internet circuit caused by a software issue. They contacted and worked with Verizon until the circuit was working.

This professionalism transcends throughout the entire technical platform. We have total peace of mind knowing the backup and replication is being handled by a professional team. In fact, whenever we need to find data it has always been found. Our security concerns have also been put to rest.

Owner, Real EstateTimely and Consistent Manner

Our main focus is to care for children with serious medical and neurological challenges. So when the hospital moved the entire facility out of New York City to Yonkers, NY we knew the project would require a special IT company to help. Our main focus for hiring this company centered on two very important items; the completion of the IT portion of the project, however, more importantly was the utmost care for the children.

NetConnect was hired to purchase and implement almost an entire new infrastructure. The professionalism of all employees during the months leading up to the move was impressive, keeping us up to date with everything they were required to complete. As the move date quickly approached, they took on more responsibility from my team
allowing us to keep the day-to day operation running smoothly. In the end, the implementation of the IT infrastructure and the move of the children went as smooth as we had hoped for.

Director of IT Services, Health CareA 17 Year Relationship Stronger Than Ever

The weekly onsite support supplied by NetConnect assures our network is well maintained. Besides being very responsive, their Help Desk technicians are extremely knowledgeable, patient, and personable. It has been our experience that NetConnect will send onsite support as quickly as possible if a problem cannot be resolved remotely.

While NetConnect may be a bit more costly I find their commitment to our network’s integrity is beyond reproach. I feel confident if a network problem occurred, they would commit the necessary resources to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

Using the products recommended by NetConnect has resulted in a more seamless network integration, support and peace of mind.
We have had experiences of viruses, data loss, complete outages but it always seems this company has the answer and repairs the problem as quickly as possible. One of the worst problems we had was two years ago when we were hit with ransomware. The team came in found the problem cleaned the machines and restored the data overnight and we were ready for business the next morning. I believe there aren’t many IT companies that could have pulled that off.

“You cannot tell it has taken NetConnect many years to develop their skill set. They just make it look too easy”.

Principal, Private EducationResulted in a More Seamless Integration, Support and Peace of Mind

I always felt our IT vendor was a hired gun and not a valued business partner. The team at NetConnect have changed that perception for us. They understand our business, our technology needs, and our budget requirements. And work within those parameters.
As a housing authority governed by federal and state procedures, we must employ the proper technology that is efficient, reliable, secure and effective for us to complete our daily work in order to meet the guidelines.
So far, NetConnect has met all of our challenges to keep us operational at all times.

Executive Director, Housing AuthorityOur Technology Needs and Our Budget

As someone who functions as an informed point of contact for IT issues within my firm, it is very reassuring that I can reach out to NetConnect and trust they will complete our request correctly, and in a timely manner. Similarly, there have been more than a handful of times where NetConnect employees have gone the extra mile - and then some – when it really counted for us. In the past, we had been victim to multiple cyber-attacks. Since hiring NetConnect our concerns for cyber events have faded. NetConnect have been proactive in notifying us about potential security issues. Occasionally, we lose data due to user errors; NetConnect backup and recovery procedures has been invaluable in retrieving such data.

Owner, ArchitectureConsistently Responsive and Informative When Handling Our IT Issues

We recently moved our IT support to NetConnect. This was a hectic and what seemed to be a difficult move. The majority of our systems were being hosted by our previous IT support company. We had continued downtime every day without explanations as to why. When we contracted NetConnect the entire project was laid out in detail explaining how it was going to unfold. I was surprised, to say the least, when I realized the provided plan was tracked to dates and milestones. Once the project was completed the downtime stopped and my business is operating fully.
The day-to-day support we receive from the help desk is quick, professional and friendly. Our entire company can see the difference since we changed to NetConnect.

CEO, ArchitectureWhat a Difference Working Systems Make

In the IT world, client service and response time is probably one of the areas that is most critical. NetConnect responds to all our non-critical daily requests within 30 minutes. With critical issues, I have personally had dialogue with a technical member of the team on weekends, and afterhours so that down time was kept to a minimum. Monitoring is expensive, and neither of the two IT companies we had prior to NetConnect have done it. However, after experiencing several spam/ransomware attacks (due to vulnerabilities left by previous IT companies) I am convinced monitoring is very necessary and less expensive in the long run.

CEO, ConstructionGoes Above and Beyond to Ensure Clients Are PROTECTED

I worked 15 years at a large corporation where we had our own IT department at our disposal. When we split from the large corporation to open our own boutique investment firm, I went through many different IT service companies until I finally found NetConnect. The prompt and efficient services I was use to at the large hedge fund, with all the high security features that we must have, was implemented by NetConnect. They employ a great support technical staff that maintains our computers whenever we need. I have now been with NetConnect for over seven years and have had little to no problems. They are pleasant to work with, very open to suggestions and attentive to our high security needs.
