FREMONT, CA: The interest in the private cloud has started gaining momentum in recent years. The reason being the numerous security concerns pertaining to public cloud services. In the public cloud, the data of one company may get intermixed with the accounts of other people or businesses. This may lead to companies go halt for days. Let us first know what a private cloud is.

Private Cloud

The private cloud is a medium of storage that creates isolation between the data of one business, individual or entity, and another. It separates the data of different people and companies and prevents the storage of those data from being all on the same hard drive or solid-state drive at a data center. There are a number of benefits of using the private cloud. They are:

Security

Every company wants its data to be safe and secure. They want to keep their data secure from outside prying eyes as well as from internal intruders. Every company opting for cloud computing services expect the service provider to address their security concerns thoroughly. The private cloud systems make it easier to lock down security from outside as it uses separate containers for separate data or companies. Data access becomes stricter as individual folders are locked for non-approved users.

Scalability

As in the public cloud, the data storing facility is managed for many organizations and people, the scaling-up requirements are not fulfilled as per the demand. Whereas the private cloud is run on a one-to-one basis, which offers separate designs for each company as per their needs and requirements. Data scalability is higher in private clouds as compared to public clouds.

Better Resource Management

Be it cloud hosting, email hosting, web hosting, or something else, when it's shared, there's a price to be paid. Here the price is not about the monetary payment, but the lack of control over system resources. For example, if a customer is using a resource to much extent, it can block other customers from accessing the data or may cause other difficulties. In private cloud systems, appropriate IT resources can be deployed to ensure strong performance 24*7.
