One of the hottest phrases in technology today is private cloud computing and you might be scratching your head wondering what this is all about. This type of computing (also known as dedicated cloud computing), is not your standard type of Internet hosting. This type of hosting is so much more.
Private cloud computing is a type of Internet hosting in which a client leases an entire server that is not shared with anyone else. This type of service offers the client more flexibility because organizations now have full control over their servers. This level of control means the company has their choice of operating system, hardware and more. Private clouds are made up of a proprietary computing architecture that provides hosted services to a limited number of people behind a firewall.
With this private type of computing, corporate network and data center administrators become service providers that meet the needs of the individual or company. A company generally chooses dedicated computing because it allows them to operate their IT applications in a cloud, but they still have full control over data and resources.
Private cloud computing also offers a number of other benefits.
If there is an increase in demand on IT systems, private cloud can scale to meet these demands, which offers companies a level of elasticity that they would otherwise not have.
Organizations control their data, which ensures that all the information within the cloud is secure.
Computing capacity is reduced by giving higher-priority tasks more power during peak hours.
Companies enjoy reduced overhead because in a virtual data center, x86 servers and other related resources can be managed as a unit rather than separately.
Most IT professionals today realize that this type of computing is the future. By investing in this technology, they're helping their company prepare for the future.
No matter what you call it, private or dedicated cloud computing services are the future. Investing in this type of Internet hosting today can save your company money while ensuring that computing resources are used efficiently and that all information is secure.
