Contrary to public clouds, a private cloud is dedicated to a single organisation. This offers
better control over the cloud setup, better security and privacy, virtualisation and better
resource allocation.
While public and private clouds share many benefits, opting for a private cloud can yield better results for a
business, depending on what the business wants from its cloud service.
THE PRIVATE CLOUD
Private Cloud Benefits
A private cloud setup gives more control to
the business over the cloud’s servers and
configurations. The servers are dedicated
to the business in a private cloud, therefore you can tailor it to
your own company specifications.
CONTROLSensitive data such as
banking, medical and
other confidential material,
needs a higher level of security than that required when
dealing with non-sensitive data. Using a private cloud solution
means that your company, and your company alone, has access
to your data.
IMPROVED SECURITYMore often than not, a private cloud
setup will factor in better redundancy
than that of a public cloud setup.
Disaster recovery solutions are generally built into the private
cloud too, so you can recover your data quicker should anything
go wrong. REDUNDANCYOn the flip side of no contracts through
a public cloud service, a private cloud is
a contract between you and the cloud
provider. Therefore, should anything go wrong (security, data
loss and so on) with the service then you’re covered within the
wording of the contract. CONTRACTSCloud for Business
