Cloud computing is said to be the biggest paradigm shift in the past 20 years Cloud computing is nothing but a pool of virtualized computer resources. This virtualization allows the user to deploy workload and scale them out much faster than in the case of a normal system. Speed is one of the most important assets of Cloud computing which is a product of virtualization. In a way virtualization unlocks the door to Cloud computing. To describe it in a nutshell, Cloud computing is the delivery of applications, (anything from storage to email and CRM), over the internet. It is based on a utility computing model that allows businesses to scale their technology requirements to meet business needs and demand. This is a cost effective approach to technology as businesses don't need to make upfront capital investments in hardware or software, but can still get access to best-of-breed technology through third party suppliers. Cloud Hosting gives you the capability to access your solutions from anywhere and at any time you need to. You are also no longer tied to a particular hardware or software configuration.
With the right approach, the Cloud can work for any size organization. More and more, however, enterprises are starting to adopt the Cloud to support different requirements. Examples of this include pharmaceutical companies who are using the Cloud Files to store drug research data, and also online retailers, who are using the Cloud Servers to provide an overflow system when traffic to applications running on dedicated maxes out. As with any technology investment, to ensure maximum ROI it is imperative to carefully plan in the most simplistic terms. Cloud computing means companies do not own the physical infrastructure. Instead of planning for expensive capital expenditure for IT servers and applications, now companies can utilize "rental usage" from a third party provider to manage critical applications.

Storage Notification
Of the aforementioned, there are two benefits that stand out, 100% uptime and 50x more storage than the industry average. These two factors alone will in most cases, cost-justify a jump from in-house to cloud-based email services. Reliability and an almost limitless data storage, can significantly reduce the cost of relying on in-house servers, upgrades, and IT support.
PentaMails is the centerpiece of many businesses including governments and leading institutions. In many cases, housing your data on our Servers is not only safe, but safer, than your in-house servers! Just think of it, no more installing and managing clumsy desktop applications. No more paying astronomical license fees to Microsoft for applications. No more VPN (Virtual Private Network) to access your email. As you can see, there is a lot of potential to reduce capital expenditures moving your email to a hosted solution.
Cloud Hosting Features
Cloud Control
Many companies prefer to host their own private clouds with full control over the environment. In a completely re-hosted environment the company's Email Servers physically reside outside of their company's data center but the email administrators can still manage their email systems through remote secure portals or web-based consoles. Using a hybrid model, IT managers and directors can keep their mailbox servers on-site in the corporate data center and allow their other email related systems to run at the hosted email service center such as those running inbound email spam, message and virus filtering applications. Other email application candidates being moved to the hosted email data center include archiving and backups. At the same time an organization can still keep their core email on-premises.
Storage Location
Servers are stored on redundant enterprise level storage server with thousands of gigabytes of storage ready for instant use.
Storage Tolerance
The central storage system can sustain multiple simultaneous drive failures (which is almost impossible) and any VPS node hardware failure doesn’t bring your server down.
Server Scalability
Ability to configure every aspect of your server without limitations and can be done with minimal downtime at anytime. Any upgrades are instantly completed from an online control panel.
High Availability
Cloud servers have full redundancy. If the host server fails, the Cloud server instantly restarts on a new host seconds after detecting a failure, effectively decreasing downtime and increasing redundancy.
Server Pricing
Cloud servers are much better priced. The ability to control all your resources instantly and get full server redundancy with no extra upfront fees allows you to grow your business much faster.
Advantages of The Cloud
Cloud-based email offers enterprises a number of advantages, including better allocation of resources, potential cost reductions, and enhanced security and reliability.
