Microsoft 365, hybrid cloud, and remote work, planned and managed.

Cloud and remote work, set up so it just works

Workstation with a cloud management dashboard on screen, illustrating cloud services for small businesses

Your files sit on an aging server in a closet. Half the team works from home some days, and nobody is sure what is backed up. Radiant moves Tarpon Springs and Tampa Bay businesses to the cloud with a plan, not a leap of faith.

What are cloud services for a small business?

Cloud services run your email, files, and business apps in secure data centers you reach over the internet, instead of on a server in your back office. Radiant Technology Solutions plans and handles the move for Tampa Bay businesses, whether that is Microsoft 365, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), or a hybrid setup, then manages, secures, and backs everything up afterward.

What you get

What does remote workforce IT support cover?

Secure logins from anywhere

Multi-factor authentication, a second check beyond the password, keeps a stolen password from opening your company files.

Laptops we manage wherever they go

Company laptops stay patched, protected, and monitored whether they sit in Dunedin, at a kitchen table, or at a job site.

Files everyone can share

SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams give everyone the same current version of a document, not five copies floating around by email.

A private path to office systems

A secure client VPN, an encrypted tunnel back to the office, covers the apps that cannot live in the cloud yet.

The same help desk at home

Remote staff call the same 24/7 help desk as everyone in the office and get fixed the same way.

The details

Do you still need backups if your data is in the cloud?

Yes. Microsoft and Google keep their services running, but protecting your actual data is still your job.

A deleted folder, a bad sync, or ransomware on one account can wipe files the built-in recycle bin may not bring back.

Cloud-to-cloud backup keeps a second copy of your Microsoft 365 or Google data outside that service. It is included in our Radiant Advanced plan, and the details live on our backup and disaster recovery page.

How it works here

Where does Microsoft 365 fit in a cloud plan?

  • 24/7Help desk for every client, every plan
  • 0Contracts to sign, on any plan

For many small offices, Microsoft 365 is the first real step into the cloud. Email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and your user accounts all live there.

We move you from an old server, Google Workspace, or a GoDaddy-hosted plan, then tighten the security settings that busy offices tend to miss.

Our Microsoft 365 services page covers licensing, migrations, and day-to-day management in more detail.

Side by side

On-site server, hybrid, or full cloud: which fits your office?

There is no single right answer. It depends on the software you run and how your people work, whether you have one office in Clearwater or staff spread from St. Petersburg to Tampa.

Hybrid cloud means part of your setup runs in the cloud and part stays on a server you own. It lets you move in stages instead of all at once.

How it works

How does a cloud migration work?

Every move follows the same five steps, whether it is a handful of mailboxes or a full file server.

  1. Step-01

    Look before we lift

    We review your servers, apps, email, backups, and how your people actually work from day to day.

  2. Step-02

    Plan the move

    You get a roadmap with the order of moves, the budget, the timeline, and any compliance needs spelled out.

  3. Step-03

    Lock it down first

    Before any data moves, we switch on multi-factor logins, device protection, and backups we have already tested.

  4. Step-04

    Move it

    We migrate email, files, and apps in a planned window so your staff loses as little working time as possible.

  5. Step-05

    Run it

    After the move we monitor, tune, and support your cloud setup as part of your monthly plan, with no contract.

Is this you?

Is your business ready for the cloud?

A cloud move usually makes sense when:

  • Your server is getting old, and replacing it feels like money spent on the past.
  • People work from home, the field, or a second office and struggle to reach files.
  • Your construction crews or field staff need plans and documents on a tablet at the job site.
  • Email lives on an old system or a consumer-grade plan you have clearly outgrown.
  • You want predictable monthly costs instead of big hardware purchases every few years.
  • You must protect patient or client files and are not sure your current setup does.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a cloud migration cost?

It depends on how many users, mailboxes, and servers are moving and how much data comes with them. The migration is quoted as a project before any work starts. Once you are in the cloud, ongoing management and support fold into your flat monthly fee per device.

How long does a cloud migration take?

A small email move can be quick, while replacing a file server takes more planning. Timelines depend on users, apps, and the amount of data involved. You see the timeline in your roadmap before anything moves, and the cutover happens in a window you agree to.

Is the cloud secure enough for patient or client data?

It can be, when it is set up correctly. Most cloud platforms are not HIPAA compliant out of the box, but they can be configured to support compliance. We set up access rules, multi-factor logins, and encryption. Our HIPAA compliance page explains what that involves.

What is a hybrid cloud?

A hybrid cloud mixes cloud services with a server you still own. Email and shared files often move to Microsoft 365, while an older accounting or design program stays on a local server. It lets a business move in stages instead of all at once, which suits many growing firms.

Can you support employees who work from home?

Yes. Remote staff get the same 24/7 help desk, the same protected laptops, and the same secure logins as the office. We can also set up a secure VPN for systems that still live on an office server, so home workers are never left out.

Will we lose email during a move to Microsoft 365?

The goal is that nobody loses a message. We copy existing mail, calendars, and contacts ahead of time, then switch delivery over during the agreed window. Your staff should notice a new login screen and very little else.
