Cloud services. Cloud computing. You’ve heard these terms and may associate them with “The Cloud,” but what does it really mean to use cloud computing resources for your business? Most notably, the use of the cloud service’s data center means there’s less need for data storage at your facility. Add other benefits like cost savings, dependable security, remote work ability, and immunity to service outages, and cloud services practically become no-brainers. Let us help you move your data and applications to The Cloud with ongoing security, stability, and maintenance with our Cloud Services in Kenosha, WI.
The computing power of cloud services is revolutionizing the way businesses operate. By leveraging the power of the cloud, businesses can access their data and applications virtually anywhere with an Internet connection, enabling them to be more agile and responsive to customer needs. Cloud services give businesses the tools they need to maximize their productivity and stay competitive in today’s rapidly changing business environment.
Never wonder “what if” when it comes to your data. Instead, know there’s always a reliable backup ready to access if needed.
Forget about phones on every desk, staffing the office phone, long-distance calling, telephone outages, and more with VoIP services.
Work from anywhere, securely, with cloud computing. See how Microsoft 365 desktop and mobile apps can increase your efficiency.
This comes with many benefits—and challenges. You’re in luck because Absolute Computer Systems helps businesses and professional offices manage and equip remote workers with everything they’ll need to get the job done. In fact, we think you’ll find remote work with The Cloud to be more efficient and productive than you imagined.
Ready to level up our business? As your cloud services provider, we can help you:
We help businesses set up and configure remote access solutions, such as virtual private networks (VPNs), to allow remote workers to access their work systems and data securely.
You’ll get expert technical cloud support services for remote workers to help them troubleshoot issues with their computers and other devices, ensuring smooth operations no matter where your team is located.
Many of our clients use cloud-based tools and applications. We help those clients manage and maintain these services to ensure they run smoothly, are stable, and are secure with our managed cloud services.
Remote workers should use protected equipment (anti-virus, etc., on their home PCs) and secure MFA connections to your network. They should also have practical training (again, provided by us) to help them follow best practices. This is all to protect your company’s data and systems from threats like viruses, malware, and hackers.
As you consider all the cloud service providers in the Kenosha, WI, area, we recommend that you ask them about the following.
Make sure they offer the services that your business needs, such as remote access solutions, cloud management, and professional, prompt, courteous (as well as understandable) technical support (both remote and in person when needed).
Absolute Computer Systems offers all of that and more, including cybersecurity, data backup, and disaster recovery for all workstations (in-office and remote).
Look for a service provider with a good reputation and a track record of satisfied clients. Check their history, ask other business owners, and read reviews. A glance at Facebook, LinkedIn, Google My Business, and Yelp will quickly and readily assure you of our outstanding track record here at Absolute Computer Systems.
This can be tricky (we have found that a few of our contemporaries prefer to hide their charges by not explicitly saying what is (and more importantly IS NOT) included in their pricing, then hitting you with unexpected bills every few months because ‘replacing mouse batteries was not included in our agreement’). Compare the pricing of a few different providers to find one that fits both your needs and your budget.
At Absolute Computer Systems, we only offer the best possible, most cost-effective, but still complete plans to ensure the security, stability, and speed of your on-site and remote workers.
There is no difference between the service, protection, and care we provide to your on-site employees and those working remotely—and that applies to our pricing as well.
This is arguably one of, if not the, most important piece of any working relationship. You will want to find a responsive provider with clear and timely communication at a level you are comfortable with (hourly or weekly or ‘when the job is done’) and support.
This is our ‘claim to fame.’ We repeatedly and routinely received calls, letters, and online reviews commending our communication, follow-up, follow-through, and completion of requested support.
Modern cloud services offer numerous advantages compared to traditional in-house applications. Consider some of the benefits of cloud computing:
Cloud applications allow businesses to save on hardware, software, and IT maintenance costs.
Whether a business is growing quickly and needs more resources or is just starting out, cloud-based services allow for extensive scalability.
Focus on creating integrations and services that work in a connected way, without worrying about siloed, disconnected systems.
Develop and launch new applications or services faster, gaining a competitive edge with cloud computing services.
With the latest technologies and protocols, cloud services provide strong security, privacy, and reliability.
Cloud services reduce risk by leveraging redundant systems built to withstand outages and other kinds of disasters.
When you’re ready to switch to The Cloud, you’ll want to work with a company that’s been there, done that…and done it well. How will you know? You can ask those who have worked with cloud services providers in Wisconsin and know firsthand what it’s like.

How Does Artificial Intelligence Relate to Cloud Services?
Machine learning and cloud services are closely related. Cloud services provide the infrastructure needed to run AI applications, such as access to data storage, computing resources, and communication networks.
Additionally, cloud services offer AI tools that can help users speed up development times by automating tasks like training and deploying models, as well as providing access to pre-trained models. This makes it easier for developers to build and launch AI applications, allowing them to focus more on developing the AI features themselves.
What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing is a type of computing that relies on sharing computing resources rather than having local servers or personal devices to handle applications. Different types of cloud computing include Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), Storage as a Service (STaaS), Security as a Service (SECaaS), Backup as a Service (BaaS), Desktop as a Service (DaaS), and Serverless Computing and Function as a Service (FaaS).
What are the Differences Among Private Clouds, Public Clouds, and Hybrid Clouds?
Private cloud services are self-hosted and owned by a single organization and can be hosted on-premises or in a private data center. These clouds offer data security and privacy protections that the two other types of clouds cannot and are ideal for companies that require highly secure data protection or must follow industry standards and regulations
Public cloud services are owned and operated by larger cloud vendors such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform. These clouds are hosted off-site and accessed through an internet connection. Public Clouds are the most cost-effective option and offer fewer privacy protections, but can provide organizations with easy access to the latest technologies, good performance scalability, and the ability to quickly deploy applications.
Hybrid cloud services combine the functions of a public and private cloud to allow organizations to store data and applications on both cloud systems. This kind of cloud system offers a combination of the data security of a private cloud with the affordability and flexibility of a public cloud. Hybrid Clouds are more expensive than public clouds but can provide greater data security and scalability for companies that require a mix of public and private cloud solutions.
All three types of cloud services should be discussed with your cloud services provider.
How Can Cloud Services Help with Disaster Recovery?
Cloud services can provide businesses with a scalable and reliable way to back up data, applications, and other systems in the case of a disaster. They can also allow businesses to quickly restore systems and data to minimize downtime in the event of a disaster. Additionally, with the ability to quickly spin up new virtual machines, cloud services can help organizations respond rapidly to changing business requirements in the event of a disaster.
Are Cloud Services Capable of Handling Big Data?
Yes, cloud services are well-equipped to handle big data, as they offer a variety of storage and computing options to support data-intensive tasks. Cloud infrastructure, including services like Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Storage, and others, is designed to efficiently store and process both structured and unstructured data sets. Additionally, cloud computing solutions, such as Apache Spark and Hadoop, allow big data analytics, providing users with flexibility and scalability that traditional systems simply can’t replicate. Thus, The Cloud is an ideal environment for handling large quantities of data.
How Can Cloud Services Help with Software Development?
Cloud services can help with software development by providing tools to help streamline the development process. Cloud-based development environments provide a shared workspace to allow teams to collaborate remotely, as well as integrate automated builds and test frameworks. This can help speed up the development process, by reducing development times and allowing developers to focus more on feature development than system setup. Additionally, cloud services often provide ready-made deployment tools, allowing applications to be deployed automatically and quickly while minimizing the associated overhead. Lastly, cloud services typically include analytics tools that can provide insights into user activity, enabling developers to better focus their efforts on important features and bug fixes.
