Super Charge Your Business With Cloud Accounting

cloud accounting

In today’s fast-paced business environment, leveraging advanced accounting software solutions like Sage, QuickBooks, and many others can be a game-changer for enterprises looking to streamline their operations, manage finances effectively, and foster growth.

However, running Sage on-site using traditional in-house servers or PCs can be resource-intensive and costly and is often not an option with remote workers.

Fortunately, a soft breeze blows a cloud your way, offering an effective, reliable, and cost-effective solution.

It’s time to move to a Windows Cloud Server.


Cores, Memory and Storage

One of the key advantages of hosting accounting software in the cloud is the ability to optimize computing resources based on your business needs. Windows cloud servers offer scalable CPU cores and memory, allowing businesses to adjust their server specifications as their usage grows.

A server optimized for such software would begin at 4 cores and 8 GB memory. SSD (Solid State Drive) storage ensures lightning-fast data access and enhanced system responsiveness. Windows itself, along with your software, would require around 200GB storage.

These resources keep your server in balance, leaving you to worry about balancing your books, not your server. It is wise to add backups, as in the unlikely event of a server issue, you always have a backup to restore from.


RDP Access for Remote Management

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) access is another compelling feature of hosting accounting in the cloud. RDP allows authorized users to access the server from anywhere in the world.

Every Windows operating system, including your laptop, comes standard with RDP software. All you need is to add your login details.

Third-party software like Putty allows this too. Stubborn, ‘superior’ Mac users are not left behind and can use an array of other options like Cyberduck. Each server would come with 2 admin RDP licenses as per Microsoft, allowing for 2 simultaneous users to access the server.

More licenses can be purchased, keeping in mind that more users would require more resources to operate the server smoothly.

Accessing the Sage application and server resources from anywhere, anytime, using a secure and encrypted connection is a significant advantage of cloud hosting.

This flexibility enables businesses to facilitate remote work, collaborate effectively across locations, and access critical financial data on-the-go, enhancing operational efficiency.


Conclusion

With optimized CPU cores, scalable memory, SSD storage, seamless Windows compatibility, and RDP access, cloud servers are tailored to deliver exceptional performance, reliability, and flexibility for accounting hosting.

Whether you’re a small business looking to streamline financial operations or a large enterprise aiming to enhance productivity and collaboration, hosting accounting software in the cloud on a Windows server is a strategic investment that promises to revolutionize your financial management processes, drive growth, and propel your business towards success.

Embrace the future of financial management with your own Windows cloud server.
