Cloud is today a reality. Majority of the large enterprises have some part in the Cloud. Whether as SaaS, PaaS or IaaS – organizations are adopting the Cloud.
To be Private or Public
To be Private or Public
But compared to Public, Private Cloud seems to be becoming more popular. CIOs/IT Managers usually tend to feel that with Public Cloud you have less control hence more susceptible to threats or errors. But then Private Cloud would be more expensive because you will have to build and manage the infrastructure on your own. So if you want to adopt Cloud for its cost effective benefits, then Public is the way for you. And with so many security solutions and controls in place, you will definitely be secured.
Many organizations support Private Clouds due to many apparent benefits:
- You will have more control over your infrastructure and applications
- You are not dependent on the vendors
- You will get all the benefits of the Cloud but can also host your applications and systems in your own premise
- Being compliant with various rules and regulations is easy
- It is easier and quite simpler to build the SLAs
Hybrid—the best option
Many organizations are adopting both Public and Private Cloud, public for less critical business applications and infrastructure and private for the business critical solutions. This model, also known as Hybrid Cloud, works the best as you get the best of both worlds. It helps you save money and also cut down on expenses, and enables you to have control over the solutions which is crucial for your organization.
