Depending on the size and type of business, and the dependence on technology and data in the day to day operation of the business, moving from traditional hosting services or the public cloud to private cloud computing solutions can be a very wise move.
In general, a public cloud and a private cloud differ only in the number of businesses using the resources. A public cloud has multiple tenants or users within the cloud, with each using and paying for resources on a pay-per-use format. This is a relatively low-cost option to move into cloud-based technology. However, there are limitations, including security and cloud infrastructure, that can create limitations on the effectiveness of the public cloud.
A Private Cloud
A private cloud is like a dedicated server. There is only one user or tenant with a private cloud, which means all data stored in the cloud is isolated and secured. This level of control also allows the company to install necessary security systems and software, making private cloud computing solutions the most secure option.
The private nature of the cloud allows for the full development and design of the cloud to meet the specific needs of the company. There is no restriction on resources or how the cloud infrastructure is changed, which is ideal for companies with heavy workloads and where compliance with specific industry regulations is a concern.
Businesses with full ownership of the cloud often find that private cloud computing solutions are less costly than public cloud options. This includes full use of all resources and ensures consistent performance during both peak and off-peak use.
