Leap Solutions Asia underscores remarkable advantages of domestic cloud services
Today, many people have a clearer understanding about cloud solutions, particularly business organizations that store critical data on the cloud system to ensure convenient and efficient operations.
When it comes to cloud services, most business operators in Thailand opt for well-known international cloud service providers. Nonetheless, domestic cloud service providers may be a better alternative, offering more cost-effective management coupled with efficient performance.
Domestic Cloud Service Providers with International Standards
Leap Solutions Asia Co., Ltd. (LSA) is a joint venture between T.C.C. Technology Co., Ltd. (TCCtech), Thailand’s leading provider of premium datacenters, and Internet Initiative Japan (IIJ), Japan’s first internet service provider and leading cloud service provider, which presently delivers high-performance cloud solutions in seven countries across the globe.
Developed by Thailand-based Leap, Leap GIO Cloud is a domestic cloud service targeted at enterprise customers. It is guaranteed for its optimal efficiency, with the cloud system running on TCCtech’s data center and with compliance to stringent Japanese standards. Leap GIO Cloud is the choice of a number of large-sized organizations in Thailand.
Leap initially built its name with GIO Private, a Private Cloud service, primarily designed for enterprises. The company subsequently launched GIO Public, a Public Cloud service, innovated to serve small-scale, e-commerce and start-up businesses.
Are International Cloud Services Really Cheaper?
A significant number of Thai organizations are of the belief that overseas cloud service providers offer less expensive service fees. But, is this perception true?
If most of your company’s data are kept in Thailand and you are seeking exceptional 24/7 after-sales services, as well as consultancy services that best suit your business environment, domestic cloud services may better satisfy your needs. In addition, you will be free from implicit costs incurred by overuse of the service, as more often than not, you will find relatively low rental fees for cloud facilities, yet you have to shoulder costly download fees for data transfer services.
Operated in Thailand, Leap is always ready to provide its customers with useful advice and technical support in a timely manner, through fast and convenient communication channels, especially during emergency situations where those closest to incidents are generally considered the best helpers. These attributes set Leap apart from international cloud service providers.
Stable, Competitive and Long-Term Business Partner
To choose the right cloud service provider, business organizations should first consider highly stable service providers that are ready to work together as long-term business partners. E-commerce operators have to ensure their websites, which are the most important sales channel, can be conveniently accessed around the clock. Other businesses have to be certain that their essential data are stored safely and on hand so that they can be confident they will not lose any business opportunities. Choosing a service provider that offers low fees but is unstable and could cease operation anytime may not be the right answer.
Leap fully recognizes its customers’ requirements. The company has revised down its service fees based on customers’ actual usage, with a minimum hourly rate of just Bt0.43. The new service rate is ideally suited for applications such as software system testing and demonstration. Bill payments can be made after using the services and via credit card. Invoices are issued under the name of juristic persons at the request of customers.
Why Leap Solutions Asia?
Leap’s competitive advantages include being a member of a major and long-established group of companies, implementation of stringent Japanese standards, competitive service fees, and a full range of SAP Cloud services, certified to the SAP standard in three categories of Hosting Services, Cloud Services, and SAP HANA Operations Services. Leap is the first company of its kind in Thailand to attain these three certifications. The company has also achieved the ISO/IEC/20000-1: 2011 and ISO/IEC 27001:2013 international-standard certifications for Information Technology Service Management and Information Security Management of the cloud system.
Conclusions
It is not necessary for businesses to use cloud services from international companies. Organizations should not just consider pricing, but also the service provider’s stability, quality of service and whether the service fee is reasonable or not. Leap Solutions Asia offers an ideal alternative for both large-scale organizations needing Private Cloud services and small-to-medium-sized companies wishing to use Public Cloud services in which service fees are based on actual usage.
