Cloud Bursting
CLOUD BURSTING
Some providers may offer the opportunity to employ cloud bursting, within a private cloud offering, in the event of spikes in demand. This service allows the provider to switch certain non-sensitive functions to a public cloud to free up more space in the private cloud for the sensitive functions that require it.
Improved Reliability
IMPROVED RELIABILITY
Even where resources (servers, networks etc.) are hosted internally, the creation of virtualized operating environments means that the network is more resilient to individual failures across the physical infrastructure. Virtual partitions can, for example, pull their resource from the remaining unaffected servers.
COST AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY
COST AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Implementing a private cloud model can improve the allocation of resources within an organization by ensuring that the availability of resources to individual departments/business functions can directly and flexibly respond to their demand. They make more efficient use of the computing resource than traditional LANs and can also reduce an organization’s carbon footprint.
More Control
MORE CONTROL
As a private cloud is only accessible by a single organization, that organization will have the ability to configure and manage it in line with their needs to achieve a tailored network solution.
Higher Security and Privacy
HIGHER SECURITY AND PRIVACY
While public cloud services offer a certain level of security, private clouds are the more secure option. This is achieved using distinct pools of resource with access restricted to connections made from one organization’s firewall, dedicated leased lines and on-site internal hosting.
