Many of you are wondering what "Cloud Services" are. Cloud Services are typically programs, but sometimes entire computers and servers, that run somewhere out in the web instead of on your computer. One of the newest and fastest growing examples of this is the Microsoft Office365 platform. With this cloud service you are able to subscribe to Exchange Email Hosting and Office 2010 Professional Plus licenses (among other things) as a monthly service. Your Exchange Server, Lync Server, SharePoint Server, and even Microsoft Office applications are then web based and accessible to you and your employees from anywhere.
Cloud service are a way of saving time, money and support costs and are extremely effective for the Small-Medium Business Sector.
