Common Questions About Cloud Services
What are cloud services?
Cloud services replace hardware, like on-prem servers located in an office or a datacenter, with a global network of secure servers that run software and store data that's accessed over the internet.
What are the common types of cloud services?
Common types of cloud services include:
- Software as a Service (SaaS) delivers license software and virtual applications via the internet, instead of installing them directly on desktops
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) delivers essential compute, storage, and networking resources accessible over the internet
- Platform as a Service (PaaS) delivers hardware and software tools via an internet connection
Are cloud services expensive?
The cost of cloud services and software subscriptions range from a few hundred dollars per month, to a few thousand. You avoid hefty hardware expenses and maintenance costs with pay-as-you-go pricing.
How long does it take to complete a cloud migration project?
Centre Technologies frequently completes cloud migration projects for business, such as from Google Suite to a cloud provider like Microsoft Azure or Microsoft 365. While it depends on the type of software and technology being migrated to and from, you can expect any cloud migration project to take an absolute minimum of 2 months to complete. Larger and more complex server projects can take up to several years. Please connect with a Centre migration team member for an accurate timeline for your business’ migration.
What are the different types of cloud solutions?
Various cloud services can run on different types of cloud solutions, including:
- Public Cloud provides on-demand computing services and infrastructure that's managed by a cloud solution provider and shared with multiple organizations (also known as tenants)
- Private Cloud provides computing services and virtual applications hosted in a datacenter accessible to select users via a private network or secure internet connection
- Hybrid Cloud shares data, database, and compute services across multiple types of cloud environments, whether on-prem infrastructure, private cloud or public cloud
What are the benefits of cloud computing?
You can access your cloud anywhere with just an internet connection. This means you and your employees can work from home or on the go.
The cloud is also automatically managed, saving you the IT budget troubles of upgrading old hardware and performing difficult system updates.

Centre Technologies conducts a Cloud Readiness Assessment to help determine if your systems and software can be moved to the cloud with minimal disruption.
