Advantages and Disadvantages of Shifting to AWS (Amazon Cloud) or Oracle Cloud
usually, your Finsys ERP Software might be either on In-house, also called “On-premises server”. Or already on Cloud.
First, let us discuss the Advantages
Benefits of AMAZON CLOUD or Azure or Oracle Cloud server spaces
First, You can work from Home, from anywhere
No need to Purchase a Server.
No Hardware Purchase Cost
No need of Research on Best Servers
Their Installation
and their upkeep
Saves time of IT Managers and your staff + Saves MONEY
ANTI VIRUS
No need to Purchase or Maintain Anti Virus Softwares.
| Save Cost | Save time | Saves on Hassles |
No Need of Separate WINDOWS LICENCES For the Server
Microsoft Windows licence must be purchased for on premise Server. But on the Amazon. The Rental includes the Microsoft Windows Cost rent also.
So, again
| Safer | Lower Cost | Reduce your Hassles |
Save the Cost of Online UPS for Server.
Since there is no Server, so, there is no need of UPS. Amazon takes care of your server space with its Gigantic UPS
So, again
| Safer | Lower Cost | Reduce your Hassles |
No cost of electricity for server area
No Cost of special air conditioning for server area
No need of Special I.T. team for server, switching on, switching off, upkeep, taking care, taking backup.
Very high speed internet access for upload/download at server end.
So, much Faster for your branches, and factories other than the main plant/Head office where your on premise server used to be situated.
Always “On”,
24 hours “ON”. Usually the on premises servers are switched off at around 8 pm. They are kept on 8 am to 8 pm. usually. So, if you need, you cant access data at night. So, you switch off your mind about it.
But, no more…. now this server is 24 x 7 x 365 days
Allows Work from home.
Reduces E- Waste
No need to upgrade Server computers from time to time. Good for the Country, Good for the Environment.
FINSYS ERP ON AMAZON WEB SERVICES and Oracle and on Azure
Criterion . how to choose ?
Cloud vs on-premise
If you have multiple locations, and low IT Staff, and Low IT inhouse knowledge, unreliable Electricity connections, unreliable UPS…..we must consider the Oracle or Amazon Cloud as a First option, instead of owning a Server.
Safe | Economic | Fast |
but note……
owning a house/factory has long term benefits than “renting” a house or flat or factory or a car.
Disadvantages of cloud are two only
- Cost of Rent, that continues … ( though you can go inhouse later, if you want to, with just 1 day notice, anyday anytime) ( T & C apply).
- Slightly slower speed than “on premise” server, since you are accessing a server, 1000’s km away usually
yet these are offset, (a) since internet is good now a days almost everywhere, (b) people cost is reduced, for IT Dept (c) Softwares like Oracle and Windows are very costly. that cost comes to almost zero if you go for proper Cloud. ( Terms and Conditions apply )
