Service Level Agreement (SLA)
Private Clouds employ a distinct mechanism for data access and availability. For the most part, they leverage several copies of files on various nodes and regard each node as a default domain. This prevents individual server breakdown or malfunctions from pulling the cloud down; thus, avoid the likelihood of data loss. In general, SLAs are mostly fulfilled. Public Cloud SLAs are published by providers in large-scale and broad terms. Fixing and resolving the issue of data loss may involve paying a certain fee to help you obtain recovered data from the last backup files.
Locations and Access Configurations
Deployment of Private Clouds is located in a single Local Area Network; hence, require remote users to first connect to the Wide Area Network and work with Internet type latencies. Enormous private cloud deployments may comprise a wide range of locations, approaching the public cloud allocation level, but may entail higher initial investments from the users.
Public Clouds ideally offer an all-encompassing data replication to a large number of geographical locations that may also necessitate additional charges. Public Clouds can sometimes be an interchange for content distribution network, so that users of diverse locations from around the globe can still benefit from the locality of data.
In-House Technical Support
You absolutely need your own competent team of system administrators to manage a Private Cloud, since its deployment is contained by a firewall. For Public Clouds, an in-house technical crew is not necessary, since you’re not even required to buy your own hardware. The Cloud providers have the sole responsibility for datacenter infrastructure and its maintenance along with related costs, which leaves you more time to focus on the core competencies of your business.
Expectations on Performance Level
Since Privates Clouds are deployed within the firewall and accessed through wire speed Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN), it’s typical to read access in the range of 100 MB per second on every node. For each additional node, you can expect a more enhanced performance as it means you can replicate files to multiple nodes, each one with the capability to serve independent requests.
Conversely, Public Clouds accessibility is restricted by the fact that it is only accessible through the Internet. And everyone knows that with the Internet, bandwidth restrictions has always been part of the issues you have to deal with; although this can easily be resolved by selecting the most appropriate bandwidth resources you can get.
The Critical Moment: Making the Choice
Although it may seem a daunting task, choosing the most suitable type of Cloud Hosting to meet your requirements doesn’t have to be such a big deal. All you need is essentially a basic understanding of your data usage. The information given above should be a good reference to help you assess and evaluate your specific needs vis-à-vis the services and features that each hosting type offers
