Putting The Indian SMEs On The Cloud

SMEs need to realize that with a reliable service provider, SaaS is easy to deploy as it is fully managed by the provider. A combination of an on-premise Security Gateway device and Cloud services would be an ideal solution for the SME. Once the initial installation is complete, the all-in-one appliance allows SMEs to have a 'set-it-and-forget-it' security-system in place, which is backed by strong round-the-clock support. At a very nominal subscription fee, SMEs can ensure data security, reduce IT investments, increase employee productivity, ensure compliance and minimize business risk. SMEs that subscribe to this model get multiple payment options, the flexibility to evaluate their service contract more frequently, and pay only for what they use. They also gain anytime access to security experts and the process efficiencies realized by a single-point contact for IT security.

We believe that an On Demand UTM service that fits the SME wallet, has great service and provides a business ROI will have immense success in the SME segment. SME's don’t have complex network requirements and also don’t have too much data to protect at their end. Starting with email, soon all business and communication apps will move to the cloud and SME will drive the adoption in India. Hence managing the security framework on UTM and software layers takes care of most SME needs. It’s also a fact that ISP's and Cloud providers are managing risks better at their end itself so the SME gets a much cleaner pipe and solutions. SME's need solutions on the UTM which auto manage their risks, solution providers are working to deliver that experience.
