Get expert advice. Discover our success stories.

The cloud promises flexibility, scalability and efficiency. But what does this mean for your company in concrete terms? Old systems, complex data flows and security issues can quickly turn the transition to the cloud into a stumbling block.

At soxes, you don’t get a standard solution, but professional advice and technical implementation that fits your software and your processes. Whether public cloud, private cloud or hybrid setup. We help you to create clarity, identify risks and use the cloud in a way that really works.

Let us create your personal cloud strategy!

What is a cloud?

Think of the cloud as a huge digital storage space and workspace. A place where files, documents and applications can be securely stored and accessed over the internet. This “digital cloud” enables organisations and people to store, access and use data and applications over the internet without having to physically own servers or hardware. By definition, the cloud works by storing data and applications on servers distributed in data centres around the world. These servers can process huge amounts of data and offer high security standards to protect the data from loss or unauthorised access.

There are different types of cloud services in the cloud:

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): this allows companies to rent virtual computers, storage and networks instead of buying physical servers. It’s like renting a virtual room in the cloud warehouse to store your stuff.

Platform as a Service (PaaS): This provides developers with a platform on which they can develop, test and deploy applications without having to worry about the underlying IT infrastructure. Similar to leasing a piece of land on which you can build a house without having to worry about utilities and roads.

Software as a Service (SaaS): These are applications that are provided via the Internet, such as e-mail services, collaboration tools or CRM software. Here you use the services directly via the Internet, similar to renting a flat and using the available amenities.

Sooner or later, every company will be faced with the choice of moving either their entire software infrastructure or at least parts of it to the cloud. We can help our customers in this constant change because we understand the importance of smooth and secure cloud adoption.

We take your uncertainties about cloud technologies and data protection seriously and offer comprehensive knowledge and clear solutions. Our IT developers explain complex technical aspects in an understandable way and develop customized solutions that meet your requirements and concerns.

What types of clouds exists?

The choice between public, private and hybrid cloud depends on the specific requirements, security concerns, compliance regulations and flexibility that a company needs. Companies often use a mixture of different cloud models to achieve the best possible benefits for their specific needs.

Public cloud:

The public cloud is a cloud infrastructure that is managed by a cloud provider and is accessible to the general public. Here, several organisations and users share the same infrastructure, such as servers, storage and applications, which are provided via the internet. The resources in the public cloud are shared by different customers and offer advantages such as scalability, flexibility and cost efficiency, as users only pay for the resources they actually use. A well-known example of public cloud providers are Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Important: Public cloud does not mean that your data is publicly visible. It will of course remain private and protected. The “public” in this case refers to the provider, which can be used by any company.

Private cloud:

In contrast, the private cloud is a dedicated cloud infrastructure that is created and used for a single organisation or company. The private cloud can either be hosted in a company’s own data centre or by an external provider that works specifically for a particular organisation. It offers more control, security and customisation options compared to the public cloud. The resources in a private cloud are exclusively for the organisation’s internal use and offer greater data security, especially for companies with strict compliance requirements or sensitive data.

Hybrid cloud:

The hybrid cloud is a combination of public and private clouds and allows organisations to move and use resources and data between the two environments. In the hybrid cloud, companies utilise the benefits and flexibility of the public cloud for non-sensitive or less critical data and applications, while keeping sensitive data or business-critical applications in the private cloud to ensure greater control and security. The hybrid cloud enables companies to respond flexibly to changing requirements and workloads by combining the advantages of both cloud environments.

The advantages of the cloud

Flexibility and scalability

Cloud computing offers unrivalled flexibility and scalability. It enables your company to expand or reduce resources quickly and in line with demand. Whether you temporarily need more computing power or need to adapt due to seasonal fluctuations, the cloud offers the flexibility you need.
Cost optimisation through pay-as-you-go

The cloud is often based on a pay-as-you-go model, where you only pay for the resources you actually use. This means you only pay for what you need, without expensive upfront investments in hardware or servers.
Location-independent access and improved collaboration

Cloud computing enables location-independent access to data and applications. Employees can work from anywhere and collaborate seamlessly. The cloud promotes team flexibility and increases productivity.
Improved security and disaster recovery

Modern cloud platforms offer comprehensive security measures and regular updates to protect your data. The cloud also offers improved disaster recovery and data backup capabilities, further increasing the security of your information.
Innovation and competitive advantage

Cloud computing encourages innovation as it allows companies to implement new technologies quickly. The cloud allows you to develop and launch new applications and services faster, giving you a competitive advantage.
Environmental friendliness

The cloud also helps to reduce the environmental footprint as it enables better resource utilisation. By utilising virtual resources, energy and physical space are saved.
