«What’s in it for me?» – that is surely one of the most important questions customers ask before moving fully or partially to the cloud. Unfortunately, the question about the benefits cannot be answered briefly, because there are many good reasons from a business perspective for moving to the Netstream Cloud.
In our last blog post, we looked at the cost benefits of moving fully or partially to the Netstream Cloud.
Conclusion: in the long run, the cloud comes out ahead on costs!
Now let’s look at the other benefits for your business and that of your customers when you choose Netstream as your cloud partner.
Flexibility and scalability in every business situation
Imagine the business situation changes and you or your customer need more computing resources because the company is growing. Or a project is discontinued and less IT capacity is needed again. The good news: both cases can be solved quickly and easily by moving fully or partially to the cloud. Netstream cloud services make it possible to adapt the IT infrastructure precisely to your needs. This keeps you and your customers flexible in every business situation and lets you benefit from the scalability of our cloud solution.
Alexander Burkert, Head of Sales & Marketing at Netstream: «The high speed of adaptation significantly reduces business risk. And, an important point for many of our customers: unused IT resources are a thing of the past.»
Remote working around the clock
Your customers’ need for flexible working models has never been greater than it is today. But allowing employees to work independently of device, time and location presents challenges for many companies with a classic on-premises infrastructure. Especially with performance-intensive workstations, for example those using graphics or CAD software, the limits of what is feasible are quickly reached.
Netstream’s cloud services provide your customers with individual solutions and enable flexible working. «Many customers are surprised that, with the cloud, even complex projects can be carried out remotely without any problems.» Alexander Burkert is convinced that this also opens up new opportunities for flexible working models and paths to digital transformation for less digitalised industries.
We tailor the cloud to your customers
Your customers’ hardware is not yet outdated, so moving to the cloud seems premature to them? Alexander Burkert is familiar with this initial question from many customers. «A fundamental advantage of an external data center infrastructure in the cloud is that we develop a tailor-made solution for your customers that matches their individual needs and business processes. That means we consider together whether full or partial outsourcing makes sense and which cloud services are a good place to start. For many of our customers, extending the existing infrastructure initially turned out to be the best option.»
The choice then often falls on a so-called hybrid cloud approach. By using the Virtual Data Center to complement the on-premises infrastructure, your customer can get the best of both worlds for their company with the 2nd site, as it offers maximum compatibility and seamless integration into the existing VMware Availability Suite.
More protection for customer data, new business areas for you
Is your customers’ company data sufficiently protected against digital extortion by ransomware? Is their backup solution already redundant for additional data security? And how fast is data exchanged when they need to recover?
For Alexander Burkert, these are important questions from a business perspective, to which Netstream offers an individual answer for your customers with its cloud services. The advantage? «A complete backup in the 2nd site allows your customers to regain access to their data within a very short time in the event of a ransomware attack. This means your customers’ data is even better protected – and new business areas open up for you, too.»
A cloud partnership with a win-win factor
Your customers entrust their IT infrastructure to your expertise and value you as a reliable partner for IT solutions. So you too need a trustworthy technology partner who works with you to find the best cloud solutions for your customers. Netstream is convinced that only a win-win partnership with your cloud partner can produce the best solutions for your customers.
Alexander Burkert describes the benefits of being a Netstream cloud partner: «Together with our distribution partner Zibris AG, we support you in expanding your portfolio and opening up new business areas. You benefit from a double dose of concentrated technological know-how – not only around the cloud, but also when it comes to defining and marketing individual use cases for your customers. Cloud services also enable you to make the shift from project business to recurring revenue – an additional safeguard for your business.
As an SME, we speak your language and also understand the importance of a transparent pricing model that adapts individually to customer value without hidden costs. That is why our channel-only model enables you, as our partner, to build a profitable cloud business with your end customers despite market-based conditions.»
Because that is how Netstream defines a fair partnership with a win-win effect for both partners.
