Private cloud

Private Cloud is the ideal choice for a company that needs a reliable computing environment for internal business processes.

Private Cloud is a modern IT solution with an impressive list of positive qualities.

Personalized virtualization is an IT infrastructure solution that has won IT hearts for businesses that value security and connectivity.

Virtual Private Cloud is a cloud infrastructure deployment model in which computing and services rotate in a separate environment.
It is built on the hardware of its own internal business network, or on the basis of a leased one in a data center.

The owner company is responsible for the efficiency of operation and maintenance of private cloud storage.

Today many people prefer not to raise their own IT specialists, but to outsource the tasks of building and maintaining performance.

As in the case of other types of virtual cloud structures, migration of any used services, databases and calculations to remote servers, communication with which is carried out via an Internet connection, is available.

Who benefits from Private Cloud?

This model of IT infrastructure is voted for by organizations that need the highest level of security, regulated by internal policy or legal standards. So, a virtual private cloud is a choice of large:

Benefits of a private cloud for your business

Scalability

Private cloud storage and compute capacity grows as business needs grow.

Self service

The control panel allows you to configure a virtual private cloud depending on the required parameters. You can independently determine computing power, memory, disk resources and other parameters without the participation of administrators.

Controllability

All resources of the private pool are created for a specific structure, which makes it easy to control the architecture and parameters of the system. You can test or build software in a safe and comfortable environment.

Profitability

Leveraging external infrastructure and billing for resources as they are used reduce IT process costs. There is no need to buy expensive equipment when seasonal loads on the system increase; it is enough to rent additional computing power for the required period.

Adaptability

A private virtual cloud allows you to use the most modern IT solutions tailored to a specific business. You get unified management, support, identity, and programming tools that work in both private pool and public Windows Azure cloud environments.

Leaving a business in the clouds gives you a chance to get your own data center - physical on the balance sheet or rented on the data center site. In addition, among the advantages of the technology:

Increase in the speed of work due to optimization and automation of processes;
Individuality of the development of a virtual environment, schemes and methods of connecting to it;
Acceptable level of storage security and information transfer;
Total control over the IT infrastructure of the enterprise;
The elementary nature of calculating the resources spent by each user for a successful financial assessment, planning and analytics;
Flexibility of configuring virtual services, simple deployment of machines and their clusters (useful when launching new remote offices), convenient scalability of capacities;
Compliance with the legal prohibition of the transfer of personal data of clients for storage and processing to a third party.

As a first approximation, this business solution seems to be ideal, and in many aspects this is confirmed by practice. However, for an impartial final assessment of it, it is worth considering the negative aspects. For instance:

The need to hire highly qualified specialists in the field of cloud technologies or the use of consulting services;
Allocation of funds for the purchase of hardware in server rooms, physical switching devices (if rent is not chosen);
The importance of the accuracy of calculating loads and the breadth of the range of services for years to come;
The effectiveness of cyber defense is only on the outer perimeter;
The development and implementation of a suitable virtual architecture is very time consuming.

Nevertheless, in some cases, in comparison with public cloud, private is much preferable. Let's evaluate their comparative characteristics from * to ***, where * - unsatisfactory, ** - satisfactory, *** - excellent, for clarity:

Cost of your virtual cloud

First of all, the price for a private cloud depends on whether the hardware will be located on the basis of the customer himself, or whether it is rented in a data center.

In the first case, the financial investments both at the initial stage and during the operation are colossal.
Renting allows you to transfer capital investments to operating rooms, it is convenient to scale resources in the future, to disable the service temporarily or completely, without the need to deal with the hardware that has lost its relevance.
In turn, the cost of hosting a personal virtual cloud in a data center depends on its location. In Ukraine it is cheaper, abroad it is more reliable.
Next, the expected volumes of data storage, memory, characteristics and number of processor cores, space for backups and snapshots on the server, and the desired transfer rate are calculated. True, this is in the case of simple linear structures.
A non-trivial architecture of the environment first requires an IT audit of the enterprise and the formation of requirements for the future infrastructure, its functionality, and only then the final cloud scheme is built on their basis.
