Dedicated Clouds Give Dedicated Resources
Have you ever booked a flight only to show up to the airport and find there are not enough seats for everybody? If there aren’t enough seats, somebody gets bumped from the flight. While there are chances to benefit from being bumped from an airline, what if this was to happen to your data on the cloud?
The cloud provides a service that is crucial to the modern world. Your data is accessible from anywhere at anytime. At least, it would be available anytime if all clouds were the same. There are several types of clouds that determine how you can access your data. Making sure you are on a dedicated cloud server can assure that your cloud remains reliable when you need it.
Public clouds are typically owned and operated by third-party service providers. They benefit end users by offering services at a low cost and a pay as you go pricing model. Public clouds pool together resources that are shared by all clients. The infrastructure provided is also larger in scale than in-house cloud solutions. The software is typically kept at basic functionality so it meets the needs of the majority.
Because public clouds are built to reach the widest audience, it does not offer much customization. Public clouds also run the risk of reaching too wide an audience. This means that the service can be slowed by a large amount of people trying to run the service at the same time. Public clouds allow as many people as possible to sign up for their service in the hopes that not everybody will need the service at the same time. When they do overbook and everybody shows up, the system has to boot people for the time being. When the resources are shared, your data is not always available to you.
Dedicated clouds work differently by offering your company its own dedicated server. There isn’t anymore overbooking because you are on your own private jet to Hawaii. You don’t have to share resources when on a dedicated cloud and you get many other benefits. Your software is up to date and customized to fit your company’s specific needs. Your data is always available to you from anywhere and you have complete control over who has access to the data.
Dedicated clouds can either be hosted internally or externally. Many growing companies may not have the resources to build their own IT infrastructure and bigger companies may want to lessen the strain of running their in-house cloud servers. Externally hosted dedicated clouds can provide your company with the IT solutions you desire while keeping costs low.
