Research: 75% Of Businesses Are Moving To Cloud

A recent O'Reilly Media report shows that 25% of companies surveyed are moving 100% their applications to the cloud, and an additional 45% of companies surveyed are moving at least 75% of their applications to the cloud in 2020. Over 75% of companies are going mostly cloud. One Oracle executive warned businesses: "Move to the cloud or die." If you haven't considered going to the cloud yet, now is the time.

Alpha Software realized how important Cloud hosting would be to its customers and introduced Alpha Cloud. This full service hosting solution is elastic, so scales as needed, and automated so no manual work is required to use it. It’s highly reliable, with redundancy and failover; its shared resources make it possible to spread out the workload among multiple data centers and servers. It’s self-service as well, so you can get it immediately.

Alpha Cloud customers continue to sing the praises of the Alpha Cloud hosting solution:

"Alpha Cloud has been a particularly powerful tool. It helped me solve the problems with the ongoing maintenance and oversight required to manage a virtual private server and lets me be up and running in the shortest amount time. I have only a limited knowledge of server management and it gives me reassurance that behind the scenes, everything is being taken care of." - Ricky Relouw, CIM Applications
"Alpha Anywhere is a game-changer for software developers. I don't know of another low-code app development company that lets you deploy secure, web, and offline apps for $99/month." - Glen Schild, GJ Stats
“The clincher for me was Alpha’s support. I’ve been in the business since about 1970 and worked with a lot of software companies. I’ve never experienced another software company that would go so far in resolving problems. I’m amazed at the availability of Alpha high-level executive and technical support. Their support is the best I’ve ever experienced. It’s phenomenal.” - Arnie Oseland, Cloud Practice Accounting
“We can choose to deploy to any Alpha app server version, at any time. We can now create any number of deployments of our systems at the click of a button. We can experiment with different setups, server configurations or software versions without worrying about the time and money it would cost to set up. We can even roll back our applications to any version we have ever published, ever, if a bug in a later version becomes apparent. This is the stuff of dreams!” - Robin Bennett, Start Software
