Differences between private and public cloud.
Which model to choose for your business?
Currently, cloud computing has become an integral part of the business ecosystem. Cloud services have become one of the most popular solutions brought about by technological transformation. Computing in the cloud has revolutionized the way data is stored and processed, directly impacting the way modern organizations operate. However, there are several cloud models available in the market. Which one is the most beneficial?
Exclusive or shared cloud?
Private cloud involves providing IT infrastructure exclusively for one company’s use, whereas the public cloud model involves sharing resources among multiple businesses.
The undeniable benefits of implementing a private cloud service include increased security and customization, thanks to the ability to leverage various technological solutions in hardware, software, and security. Private cloud provides virtually limitless possibilities and excels in handling the most demanding applications and systems. Advanced mechanisms and tools are employed to ensure the confidentiality of information within the private cloud. Additionally, private cloud offers flexibility and adaptability to specific business requirements. It enables companies to optimize resources according to their specific needs, leading to enhanced business efficiency.
In which situations does the public cloud prove to be a better fit? Shared cloud solutions work exceptionally well when a particular application or system does not require deployment in a dedicated server environment. Public cloud significantly contributes to better cost optimization and enhances the level of security within an organization.
Which model to choose?
The choice between a private and public cloud depends on the individual needs and requirements of a specific business. Before making a final decision, a thorough market analysis should be conducted. The decision is not easy, but cloud service providers can assist by providing expert advice on which model will be most beneficial for a particular type of organization.
Regardless of the chosen cloud computing model, the decision to migrate resources to a cloud environment enables increased competitiveness and accelerates organizational development. As Mateusz Borkowski, Head of Global IT and Digital Strategy at DSI Underground, emphasizes:
Thanks to the cloud and digitalization, companies are adapting to trends at a pace never seen before. Leaders are setting new trends by dynamically responding to market needs, leveraging the computational resources of the cloud. The elimination of the need to build infrastructure independently dramatically reduces the time required to implement new solutions. The cloud enables gaining a competitive advantage right from the start and allows focusing on the solution itself without concerns about limitations of available computing power and investment capabilities.
