in Cloud
NetSource is introducing a new cloud environment tailored for small businesses. Yes, NetSource has provided cloud services for years. But, NetSource has just released a new offer based on the evolving needs of customers and small business.

Research has shown that over 60% of first time efforts into cloud technologies fail. Either, the price wasn’t as expected, the solution didn’t perform, security was lacking, or a number of other issues are sited in the research. Why do these efforts fail? NetSource believes there are two key reasons 1) lack of understanding and knowledge and 2) lack of help. Cloud services, as offered by the industry, are offered as a commodity and businesses need more, particularly small businesses.
So, what is new? NetSource becomes a partner with our clients to make sure they have a full team behind them to support their cloud environment. Our clients are never on their own with items like security. NetSource decided to take a new approach to cloud offers.
First, we solve the security issue. Most public clouds provide a shared network approach that is inherently insecure. With NetSource, each customer network is separated from others rather than sharing a network. NetSource solves this problem by creating isolated VLANs for customers down to the physical level. Ask any security expert. VLAN isolation is critical to achieving security.
Next, NetSource understands that there is a hurdle to cross to get onboard with cloud services. NetSource helps small and medium sized businesses get over that hurdle. How? When you want to try a cloud solution, we setup a trial portal for you to access the cloud. You get a basic manual that describes how to get up and running fast. In the meantime, NetSource will schedule one-on-one real-time webinars to show you the ropes or even help you setup your environment with no cost to you. If the environment doesn’t solve your particular problem, just stop the trial and you didn’t spend a cent. So, you are getting a risk free environment with a lot of help along the way.
Third, we can customize the cloud environment to meet very specific needs. We can help setup VPNs between remote hosted environments and your NetSource cloud setup. We can help physically connect a colo or dedicated server environment at NetSource to your NetSource cloud environment. We can create custom templates for creating VMs, provide dedicated cloud hardware for your project, and solve many other specific problems you might have. You get just want you need.
