Which cloud model is right for you 4 Which cloud model is right for you? Cloud computing isn t a one size fits all undertaking. Cloud Possibilities is able to offer several service delivery models. It is essential to understand these different forms of the cloud and identify the right approach for your organisation. Private cloud Our Private Cloud infrastructure solutions are tailored to your corporate needs. We provide you with your own, secure environment within our Tier 4 ISO 27001 certified Data Centre and deliver increased levels of power, performance and reliability. We can build in as much resiliency as required for your business, including full disaster recovery and multi site active failover. Dedicated servers in a secure data centre There are three cloud deployment options available to organisations today, namely private cloud, public cloud andhybridcloud. These three cloud deployment models have certain similarities and differences, and it is essential to understand these aspects when evaluating a move into the cloud and selecting the right cloud deployment model for your organisation. Hybrid cloud Hybrid clouds combine the both Private and Public cloud environments from different providers. Adoption risks of public clouds have led to architectures that connect internal core services on a private cloud and non critical data to external, public clouds. This option provides additional security over that provided by public clouds. Our cloud, your cloud, any cloud Public cloud A public cloud is one in which the services and infrastructure are provided off site over the Internet. These clouds offer efficiency in shared resources; however, they are also more vulnerable than private clouds and have specific Service Level Agreements and disaster recovery options in place. An example of a public cloud deployment is Office 365. Shared cloud over the Internet Which cloud model.
