Simplify Your Journey to Private Cloud
Where you choose to run your workloads matters.
According to IDC, 71% of respondents expect to move all or some of their workloads currently running in public clouds back to private IT environments over the next two years.
That's a big number, and you might be asking yourself, "what exactly is the appeal of private cloud?" It's a highly customizable model that delivers control without compromising security.

One Size Doesn't Fit All
There are many routes to deploying a private cloud. To be successful, enterprises must first map out their goals and expectations, define their cloud requirements and then build on that model leveraging the technologies that best suit their needs.
When it comes to private cloud, you've got options.

Traditional data center infrastructure includes high-performing, enterprise data center storage, network and compute systems.
Traditional Systems
Converged Infrastructure tightly integrates compute, storage, networking, virtualization and automation resources into a proven private-cloud architecture. It scales to the largest environments with a lot of flexibility in components.
Converged Infrastructure (CI)
Hyperconverged Infrastructure streamlines the deployment, management and scaling of data center resources by combining x86-based server and storage resources with intelligent software in a turnkey software-defined solution.
Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI)
A hosted private cloud is an off-premises deployment model in which a third party manages and hosts the cloud remotely.

Key Use Cases
The cloud model you choose will likely depend on the level of security you need in order to meet compliance standards and on the cost structure you prefer. Here's a look at a few key scenarios driving private cloud investments.
Since MSPs have already invested in the advanced technology and training necessary to build an expert team and systems, by leveraging a shared model, you gain access to the best tools and talent available to manage your IT environment — without having to invest in costly software solutions or stay on top of upgrades.
Advanced managed services require the ability to deploy a proactive service level toolset that monitors all aspects of an environment, including the core internal network infrastructure, virtualized servers, storage and both internal and cloud-based applications and resources. The right tools enable predictive monitoring services that help ensure uptime and higher service levels via proactive and reliable notification of potential issues.
Your MSP should utilize a service ticketing system that allows you to submit a ticket and automates workflow for triage, prioritization, scheduling and escalation. Ask for a demonstration of their tools and validate they have the right solutions in place to keep you up and running.
Data Gravity
Applications must go to where the data is generated. To move data from where it's generated whether it's from applications, machines or employees and customers is incredibly expensive and time consuming. Next it's very hard to move legacy applications to the public cloud, and there are big costs associated with it.
Compliance
Meeting the standards of existing and emerging compliance regulations continues to be one of the greatest challenges organizations face. Failing to adhere to new data legislation can lead to fines, legal action and severe damage to a company’s reputation.
Regulatory concerns such as GDPR can severely limit the ability to use the public cloud and place data there.
Network Latency
Proximity matters. The greater the distance between the organization and public cloud, the more likely it is that users experience latency ultimately slowing down access to time-sensitive applications, often making a private cloud a better option.
IT Control
A single tenant, private cloud is built to be consumed by a single organization that retains the ability to configure and manage resources without the restrictions that might be imposed in a public cloud solution that shares resources.
Unpredictable Cost
Egress charges and getting data out cannot be overlooked as costs can be quite high. Typically egress traffic is billed on a utility style model; you pay for what you use or transfer from one point to another. Most organizations end up getting billed per GB or TB of data transfer out.
Specialty Hardware or Configuration Requirements
In some cases, organizations find that they are unable to get the hardware or infrastructure required to meet the specifications of a particular legacy or non-cloud-native application from a public cloud provider.
