Cloud Services
What is the Cloud?
The easiest way to understand the cloud is to think of it as a utility, like electricity. When you plug a device into a wall outlet, electricity flows. You didn’t generate the electricity yourself. In fact, you probably have no idea where the electricity was generated. It’s just there when you want it. All you care about is that your device works.
Cloud computing works on the principle that through an internet connection, you can access whatever applications, files, or data you require. This can be done at anytime, anywhere, and from virtually any device. We take care of where that information is stored, backed up and accessible.
Local computers no longer need to execute the intense processes required to run applications. As a result, software and data demands on the user’s side have decreased.
Cloud computing is commonly used by services such as e-mail with Hotmail, Yahoo!, Gmail, etc. Instead of running an e-mail program on your computer, you access your Web e-mail account remotely.
PTA provides customized Cloud services, allowing clients to tailor remote access to their systems and data in ways that work best for them. We are happy to work with clients across all industries, from large firms to individual users.

We provide access to data storage, virtual servers and desktops including email and mobile devices. All PTA systems are supported by our engineers and clients gain the benefit of access to resources in an environment that demands security and protection.
Scalability:
Services and capacity are there when you need them. No waiting for physical resources to be purchased and installed. Scalability can be easily achieved.
Scalability doesn’t mean having to invest heavily in resources from the start. Why pay for capacity you’re not using? Cloud environments allow the user to not only scale the resources they need when they need them.
Reliability:
Due to the nature of cloud technology, the cloud environment is no longer dependent on physical hardware. It can realize the benefits of spreading the system requirements over a number of resources in a large, remote server environment.
