Ways to Enhance Cloud Hosting Presence
The reason to move to a cloud computing
environment is primarily is that the pooling of
elastic computing resources provides business
agility, high efficiency, scalability, and
availability, along with the added business
advantage of significant cost reductions. There
are three cloud models Public cloud, Private
cloud, Managed cloud. 1. Public cloud A public
cloud model consists of a service that can be
purchased by an enterprise and delivered through
the Internet by a third-party service vendor. The
cloud infrastructure resources like compute,
storage and network are shared and consumed
amongst many customers who do not buy, license or
manage any hardware or software. The technology
is delivered as a pay-as-you-go service. This
often appeals to companies that want to get up
and running quickly and prefer the idea of a
subscription model and a flexible, elastic cloud
computing platform.

2. Private cloud a private cloud model is an
extended version of a business traditional data
center which is optimized to provide compute,
storage and network capacity for multiple
functions. A private cloud is a non-shared
resource and the customer typically owns and
controls the complete cloud environment for their
own use. This can add considerable training and
overhead to an IT organization. 3. Managed
cloud With a managed cloud services model,
customers can still have their own private
clouds, but a service provider takes full
responsibility for building and managing the
cloud infrastructure. These managed private
clouds can be located either at the customers
own data center or at the service providers data
center. This allows organizations to offload
routine management and maintenance and instead
focus on their core business, thereby gaining
peace of mind knowing that the managed cloud
service provider is taking care of their
infrastructure and securing their data 24/7. As
managed cloud services expertise and efficiencies
have developed over time and cloud deployment has
become more mainstream, organizations have begun
to realize that its much more efficient for
managed cloud services experts to run and
maintain hardware and software for them. These
efficiencies surface in the expert level
understanding of the most recent releases,
efficient upgrades, and expedited problem
resolution.
