In basic terms, “cloud computing” refers to a business taking care of its IT needs over the “cloud” (or internet). You're already using cloud products if you use Web-based e-mail like Hotmail, Yahoo! or Gmail.
With cloud computing, you access services or resources across the
internet on an as-needed basis. This type of business has been
around for a long time in other areas. For example, you don't
have to own a full phone exchange system in order to make a phone
call.
You own a handset,
and that handset is connected to an exchange system that the phone
company owns. You pay a monthly rental fee to use that exchange
system when you need to make a call. Same thing with the cloud.
The benefit of cloud computing is it takes the worry and risk out
of your technology maintenance. You don't have to stress about
computers going down, servers failing, or loss of your data
through theft, natural disaster, or human error.
Because your software and data exist in the “cloud” (rather than
on a specific piece of computer equipment), you can access it
anytime, anywhere -- through your office desktop computers, home
computer, laptop, iPad, tablet, smartphone, etc. You just have to
have internet connection.
Data is automatically backed up for you and stored securely.
There's less maintenance and it provides the flexibility to
grow with your company without having to invest in additional
computer hardware.
Best of all, this service is reasonably priced. Charges start as low as $120 per month.

Automatic QCloud Software Backups
All QCloud customers have their data backed up each night. We back
up the database,
Document Manager
and the Reports Folder. These backups are stored offsite in a
remote location. These daily backups are saved for 10 days.
At the start of
each month we also save one of the daily backups, and we save
those for 6 months. Additionally, we also save an annual backup of
the data. These backups are independently audited every night by
QFloors software. We check each customer to make sure that the
backup took place. If there was a problem with the backup, we are
notified immediately.
The Nuts & Bolts
QCloud is a cluster of servers with redundant server capacity
immediately available should anything fail. This server cluster is
supported by a hard disk farm called a SAN, once again with
redundant capacity so that any failure will not create an outage.
Both the server
performance and the hard drives have specifically been configured
to optimally support the
QFloors application.
This complex
environment is housed in a commercial grade datacenter with
redundant power, battery backups, cooling and internet
connections. It is monitored and maintained on a 24/7 basis by
skilled staff. Computers, hard drives and software are all
maintained and upgraded or replaced as needed.
In the past this type of service was only available to the very largest of companies who could afford to spend the money necessary to create and maintain the environment. Today QFloors customers can take advantage of these services for a low monthly cost. They then can have all of the benefits this system offers without spending the hundreds of thousands of dollars required to recreate it themselves.
System Requirements
- Computer or device connecting to QCloud must support Microsoft Remote Desktop client, including Apple/Mac computers and devices.
- For handheld devices, we recommend a screen size of at least 7 inches. (Bigger is better.)
- Not all printers are compatible with Microsoft Remote Desktop. Some wireless printers, and also some multi-function all-in-one printers, may not be compatible with this service.
