Jargon Buster: Cloud Confidence Made Simple
This month, we’re focusing on Cloud Confidence, helping you understand the key terms behind modern cloud strategies, and how they support flexibility, security, and long-term growth
Key Terms Explained:
Cloud Migration
The process of moving data, apps, or systems from on-site servers to cloud platforms like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It unlocks flexibility, scalability, and remote access.
Business Continuity
A strategy to keep your business running smoothly during IT disruptions. It includes cloud backup, disaster recovery, and resilience planning.
IT Roadmap
A forward-looking plan showing how your technology will evolve to meet future business goals. It helps prioritise investments and avoid surprises.
Digital Transformation
The shift from outdated tools to modern technologies, improving operations, customer experience, and competitiveness.
Endpoint Management
The ongoing protection and maintenance of all connected devices (like laptops, phones, and tablets) to keep them secure and up to date.
Bandwidth
The amount of data your internet connection can handle at once. More bandwidth = faster performance, especially for teams using cloud apps or video calls.
Q&A: Feeling More Confident in the Cloud
What makes cloud services safer than on-premise?
Modern cloud platforms offer advanced security features, constant updates, and compliance-ready infrastructure that many in-house setups can’t match.
How do I choose the right cloud for my business?
It depends on your needs. Public cloud is great for flexibility, private cloud offers added control, and hybrid cloud blends the best of both. A good provider can guide you through it.
Is the cloud really cost-effective?
Yes — it reduces capital spend on servers, cuts downtime, and allows you to scale resources up or down as needed.
