What is Data Security in a Private Cloud Solution?

While resource allocation and data security are the prime aspects of concern in the public cloud,
deployment of a private cloud is a totally different ball game. In a private cloud, data are stored
within your company’s perimeter, behind a dedicated firewall, and are securely accessed
through encrypted connections. Data are always stored on your server, and remote users only
get projections of data on their devices. Moreover, a private cloud provides greater control over
redundancy, because you address your redundancy requirements when designing your data
center environment. With the hardware being on-site, businesses have more control over data
monitoring and management. Data compliance is effectively met. While businesses can enjoy
the scalability, agility and mobility offered by the cloud, security and business continuity are
maintained at the highest level. Applications hosted in the private cloud require less
administrative overhead and reduced customer support, while ensuring that only the latest
versions of applications are used. However, higher costs, capacity ceiling, and on-site
maintenance are a few aspects that should be considered. The key is to choose the right tool
that delivers a secure cloud environment.
