Have you ever forwarded a work or office email to a personal Gmail or other account? Maybe it was to avoid storage issues and bypass your company’s 100 MB limit or one GB storage limit compared to Gmail’s 25 GB?

If you’re running SharePoint onsite or are considering SharePoint for the first time, you might feel overwhelmed with all the things that it can do or struggling to implement a narrowly focused SharePoint-based solution. That’s the point where many organizations should consider running SharePoint in the cloud instead of trying to go it alone. Here are five big reasons that enterprises choose to put
SharePoint in the cloud and why you should too:

Hi. My name is Shane Young. My wife Nicola and I were the owners of
SharePoint911. SharePoint911 was what is sometimes referred to as a boutique consulting company. Because unlike most IT consulting companies we only did SharePoint. Now, we did do everything SharePoint; from simple break/fix support calls billed in 15 minute increments to mega SharePoint projects for some of the largest companies on the globe. We also did things like provide SharePoint training and write some of the technical content you see on places like Microsoft.com, other partner’s websites and in your local book store —
16 books in total. The good news about all of this is we will continue to offer all of those same services but
now as part of Rackspace. The really good news? We are going to do so much more.

Roughly 90 percent of Rackspace’s San Francisco-based employees commute to the office using alternative methods of transportation. Of those, about 30 percent bike to work on a daily basis – another 60 percent or so walk or take public transportation – so it was a no-brainer that Rackspace’s San Francisco office would join the city on Thursday, May 10 to celebrate Bike To Work Day.

Unlike traditional media, social media is a disruptive mode of communication as it allows users to participate and have their input, no matter the conversation. Occasionally, this disrupts one-sided conversations and can take the dialogue in another direction, originally unplanned by the person that began the communication. However, as we find that social media is becoming a bigger part of how people communicate, social marketers need to recognize this and build it to its advantage.

There are several things happening on your server that can become bottlenecks as traffic increases to your site. The first bottleneck will be retrieving the data from your MySQL database. The second is trying to execute the PHP code that will ultimately display the content of your site to your end users. New sites with a small amount of traffic might not see these bottlenecks, but as traffic to your site goes up, the efficiency of your server will go down. Standing up additional servers can solve this problem but can be an expensive solution. This is when caching becomes important and I wanted a chance to discuss caching here along
with a video on our Google+ page.

Prior to
Cloud Sites, the founders had been working together for five years. The team built applications both for Rackspace and others, and they recognized that they needed to run somewhere. But after they built the app, the founders would have to sys admin the servers they ran on.
