Making cloud accessible and affordable for small businesses
How Virtual Private Cloud is removing the barriers to growth for SMBs


Cloud computing has become an essential resource for businesses of all sizes. However, selecting the right cloud platform requires careful consideration.
Many small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) such as professional services, financial services, and business services find that large public cloud solutions don’t fully meet their unique requirements.
Factors such as management, cost, and customer support often require more than just flexibility, scalability, and uptime.
In this ITPro special report, we explore the specific challenges that these SMBs encounter in selecting and transitioning to a cloud provider. We’ll also discuss how private or virtual private clouds can sometimes offer distinct advantages over standard public cloud options.
