Your Cloud, Your Way: The Many Benefits of Going Private
For all of the headlines around AI, the IT word of the year might be “optimization.” Organizations are under pressure to bring in new compute resources for AI and other data-intensive workloads while maintaining security and compliance, ideally while squeezing as much business value as possible from their IT budgets. With rising costs for cloud services and other AI infrastructure being joined by other economic headwinds,1 smart IT cost management is becoming even more important for balancing business agility with resource control.
The demands of the AI era and new cost pressures are testing the ROI performance of existing IT infrastructure. For many organizations, private clouds are emerging as a solution for cost-effective cloud strategies, with nearly four in every five cloud decision-makers currently implementing internal private clouds.2 Determining where private cloud might fit into an organization’s hybrid cloud strategy depends on its IT priorities and constraints, including its ability to self-service its own infrastructure and applications.
Private Clouds, Personalized for Business Fit
In contrast to private clouds, public clouds are designed for one-size-fits-all consumption, prioritizing accessibility over customization. Private clouds offer many of the same benefits as public clouds—such as ease of use, rapid provisioning, and pay-as-you-go billing—but with greater control, customizability, and security. They combine the operational flexibility and self-service aspects of public clouds with tighter handles on data and infrastructure configurations, enabling application development that is both more agile and more secure.
Organizations in highly regulated industries (such as financial services and life sciences) must contend with especially stringent requirements for data sovereignty and governance. The full environmental control provided by private clouds not only serves these requirements but also eliminates the “noisy neighbor” issues of public clouds. When accompanied by consultative services from cloud providers, private clouds can be mapped neatly to the specific needs of individual organizations.
However, the benefits of private cloud come with the challenges of deployment and management, for which there are two solutions. One is for cloud consumers to build and run private clouds themselves, which requires adequate time, DIY skills, and the expertise to do so effectively. The other option is a managed service, with private cloud providers varying substantially in their capabilities, security, and available services.
