Evolving cloud services

sfsw — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 20:28:02 +0000

Most of our major accounts have switched to the cloud servers which are proving helpful – but we can also offer load balancers (POA) that speed up your online availability to your customers who tune in all at once instead of spread over a long period – a sort of pop art brief flash is all some websites get but it is the residual long term growth you should really be concerned about. Infrastructure. We can provide you with infrastructure that adds to a basic cloud service:

Cloud Base / AWStats upgrade
Load Balancer / hi traffic upgrade
Responsive Domain management with emergency email, audited secure email or gmail connection

Pricing
£250 for each service for a domain for a year.

Buffering

Buffering is a local problem (i.e. specific to your location). It means the streaming application / player can not access a data stream in real time and it is waiting to get sufficient data to support a sustainable streaming experience.

Hosting can be upgraded from standard shared to cloud – in most cases this is a matter of provision of services – our cloud is a growing tool that can sustain a higher rate of sustained bit delivery for streaming applications.

There are expensive and inexpensive ways to improve the network delivery – but buffering can also be due to the speed of your computer and most important how much memory it has to store stuff.

Buffering is not a bad thing. The absence a flowing data stream is.

Google services

Using Google Plus in our promotional strategy is more targeted than other forms of social networking, in the end it will win because it is based on sound priciples. Facebook is based on extraordinary front end programming and flexibility in your close circles but publishing is the real power of these platforms, crowd sourcing requires actions and relationships.

Here are some articles that may help.

We can help customers with all the above. Just ask.

Social concerns

sfsw.net provides easy to use content managed sites that you can maintain yourself to communicate with your market, post special offers, or feature your works of art. These sites are integrated with the social networks you want linked in to your posts. Your customers can interact with your business, make recommendations for your products or services and communicate with you in relation to specific products, comment on things that matter to them.

Inspired by a private campaign by an educator, one woman who highlighted community and parental concern and opposition over their local primary school being converted into an academy she ran a campaign on one of our WordPress social sites, and roused significant community support for her educational cause that would be the envy of a PR agency.

Running protest sites for valid social concerns is an important part of democratic expression. We wish to encourage it and at the same time deliver the successful methods of networking for our business clients.
