What happens to your business if your server crashes overnight? Or if your employees need access to files on the road? In today’s fast-paced business world, Small and Midsize Businesses in Toronto need IT that’s flexible, secure, and always available instead of just traditional on‑prem infrastructure. That’s where cloud services shine: enabling remote access, boosting business continuity, and safeguarding data without a hefty hardware investment. At Connectability, we specialize in cloud services in Toronto, offering business cloud solutions and secure cloud infrastructure tailored for Canadian SMBs. As your local guide, we simplify cloud adoption so you can focus on growth.
What Are Cloud Services?
Cloud services deliver IT capabilities like data storage, backups, apps, and even virtual desktops over the internet, rather than relying solely on on‑site servers. Common types include:
- Cloud storage & backup: Secure off-site file repositories and automated recovery.
- Cloud‑based applications: Tools like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, accessible from anywhere.
- Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS): Virtual servers and environments you scale on demand.
- Virtual desktops: Full-featured desktop experiences hosted in the cloud.
For SMBs, cloud computing for small business offers elastic scalability, enterprise-grade security, and business continuity without big‑budget upfront costs or complex hardware setups. With managed cloud services and skilled IT cloud support in Toronto, Connectability ensures your systems are always modern, secure, and tuned to your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of businesses benefit most from cloud services?
Any small to midsize organization needing secure access, resilient backup, and remote collaboration, such as manufacturers, financial services providers, real estate/property management offices, legal firms, accounting firms, and non‑profit organizations.
How secure is cloud storage compared to local storage?
Cloud storage uses strong encryption, multi‑factor authentication, and automatic updates. It’s typically more secure than on‑prem setups, as long as best practices such as strong passwords and MFA are followed
Can you migrate our existing systems to the cloud without downtime?
Yes. We plan migrations carefully to run parallel systems and migrate data in phases to minimize downtime and avoid disruption.
Do I need cloud backup if I already use Microsoft 365?
Yes. Microsoft 365 stores data securely, but isn’t a full backup solution. We offer managed cloud backup to ensure full protection in case of accidental deletion or compliance needs.
