External IT works with many clients to leverage the capabilities and economics of major, 3rd party public cloud providers. Providers like Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure, IBM, GoGrid and Terremark vCloud.

External IT helps you leverage the elastic provisioning and unlimited capacity of today's cloud marketplace, all as part of your overall, outsourced, cloud based IT solution.
Public cloud provider vs. External IT
Here are two good questions we often hear, “How is External IT different from a third party public cloud resource provider?” and “What is the advantage of working with External IT to acquire and integrate 3rd party public cloud resources into an External IT cloud-based IT solution?”
Naturally, we have two good answers.
Third party public cloud resource providers can give you inexpensive, raw computing resources—servers, storage, processing power. What they don’t offer is the full range of IT services that virtually every small to midsize business needs.
Let’s use electricity as the analogy. Public cloud providers are similar to power grids. They produce large quantities of energy that get harnessed into practical uses by appliances.
The trick is converting public cloud resources into something useful.
In a similar fashion, External IT harnesses raw computing resources from various providers and converts that into a meaningful IT experience for business users. Login and permissions, shared access to applications, files, a web portal, collaboration tools, and so on are yours on demand, even while utilizing these 3rd party resources.
External IT is a full service, end-to-end, turnkey IT solutions provider with a 24/7, world-class Support Group. Wholesale cloud resource providers only offer the underlying raw resources behind business-focused cloud computing. Turning those cloud resources—whether private or public—into tangible results is either done in-house or by leveraging the rare capabilities of a company like External IT.
Wholesale cloud resources can often help satisfy specific small to midsize company requirements. The trick is identifying exactly where these are the right options. We’ve done this many times, and are more than adept at helping companies build a highly economical and thoroughly effective hybrid cloud IT solution crafted to your specific needs.
