Cloud Computing

How private cloud works?

Dedicated Private cloud computing for your business Lower your TCO but ensure high security levels, increase flexibility and guarantee scalability. With a dedicated private cloud server, your business benefits from the latest virtualised cloud hosting technology with the security and access of a dedicated hosting solution. By incorporating a set of dedicated servers with a virtualisation layer running on top, dedicated private clouds allow you to create and manage multiple virtual servers within a set of physical dedicated servers. You get all the benefits of cloud computing but with dedicated hardware and full control.

A traditional cloud computing environment (also called public cloud hosting) is a form of shared hosting, and although there are similarities to dedicated hosting, there are still hundreds if not thousands of other virtual machines on the same machine sharing the same resources.

A traditional shared cloud computing environment has less control than a dedicated private cloud, it is therefore less customisable, it is also less secure and you are unable to pick your neighbours but most importantly there is a massive likelihood that performance of a shared environment will run significantly slower than that of dedicated resources, in the same way shared hosting runs slower than dedicated hosting.

Dedicated private cloud computing or dedicated virtual servers is a closed internal network behind your own dedicated firewall and therefore means tighter security. All the resources can be managed from a single point and assigned to applications or services within your own private cloud as needed. This makes dedicated private cloud more cost effective than a traditional managed dedicated hosting environment, you only pay for your virtual instances when they are turned on and more secure thanks to your dedicated firewall. As a result it is regarded by experts as a significantly greener technology.
