5 Reasons Why Private Clouds are better than Public Clouds

The cost effectiveness and the "anytime, anywhere" service of the cloud is attracting everyone but the "public vs private cloud" debate is a point of concern for the whole world. So if you are thinking to choose any of them, it’s essential to know the differences between these two to know which one is right for you :)

Here are 5 reasons that will show you how private cloud is better than public cloud-

1. Security and Control- You are not responsible for any kind of management in the public cloud; only the cloud hosting provider is responsible for all your data’s maintenance and management. Many companies go for this option as it reduces the time that’s used to test and deploy new products, but businesses who are concerned about their data’s security, this option is not for them. Although in the public cloud, your data remains separated from others, but as one can’t control the security of the public cloud, you’re suggested to go for private cloud.

2. Infrastructure Utilization- Companies who have their own data centers can take advantage of hosting their data on the private cloud that resides on premises and uses company’s intranet. It offers a better level of security so it’s the best option for an enterprise-sized company.

3. Computing Demands- If your computing demands are stable and business’s growth and the cost are predictable, then there’s no need to go anywhere other than the private cloud. On the other hand, businesses that have dynamic growth should go for public cloud to take advantage of scalability it provides.

1. Customization Powers- Network performance, hardware performance, and storage performance, can be only customized in the private cloud.
2. Compliances Befitting- HIPAA compliance, PCI, and Sarbanes-Oxley can only be delivered by the private cloud. Public cloud cannot deliver them. Compliance is easier to achieve in the private cloud because the network configuration, hardware and storage are dedicated to a single client.

Avoiding the discussion about public and private cloud, some businesses go for the hybrid approach by deploying both of these clouds’ environments. Choosing any of the cloud solutions for a firm requires an understanding of the minute variances. So keep finding the whys and wherefores for any choice you are picking J
