Here is why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Cloud Computing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simply put: instead of running your files, emails, and systems on a physical computer in your office, they run on powerful servers managed by companies like Amazon (AWS), Microsoft (Azure), and Google. You access everything through the internet \u2014 from any device, anywhere in Kenya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Kenyan Businesses Are Making the Switch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>No more costly hardware.<\/strong> A decent business server costs KES 150,000\u2013500,000 and breaks down every few years. Cloud services start from KES 3,000\/month \u2014 and never crash on a Monday morning.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Work from anywhere.<\/strong> Your team in Kisumu, Mombasa, and Nairobi all access the same files in real-time. No more emailing documents back and forth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your data is safe.<\/strong> We have all heard of businesses losing years of data to a fire, theft, or hard drive failure. On the cloud, your data is backed up automatically \u2014 every single day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scale as you grow.<\/strong> Need more storage? Takes minutes to upgrade \u2014 no buying new hardware.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Save up to 40% on IT costs.<\/strong> Our clients consistently cut their IT bills after moving to the cloud.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Businesses Should Move to the Cloud?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your business uses email, files, accounting software, or a website \u2014 yes, the cloud is for you. Whether you are a clinic in Westlands or a logistics company in Industrial Area, cloud computing will reduce your IT costs and improve your team&#8217;s productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Delights Web Services has migrated 80+ Kenyan businesses to AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud<\/strong> \u2014 with zero data loss and minimal downtime.
