The era of cloud computing has arrived.
Hang a treasure
This is an indisputable fact. However, in the process of cloud landing, there was a trend of "public cloud alone, private cloud blooming". Especially at home and abroad, the difference is more obvious. Information technology giants such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft often conduct large-scale business through existing platforms. They build a powerful public cloud through technology and infrastructure resources, and provide users with various cloud servers.
What is a private cloud? The private cloud is actually built for enterprises to use alone, so as to provide effective control over data, security and quality of service. The company has an infrastructure on which it can control how applications are deployed. The private cloud can be deployed in the firewall of the enterprise data center or in a secure hosting place.
For many small and medium-sized enterprises with certain strength and technology to build private cloud, choosing private cloud as the entrance is really a good way to welcome the cloud era. At present, many enterprises hope to benefit from private cloud without risk. However, to achieve this goal, you need to self measure and evaluate the following important considerations before deploying a private cloud:
1. Unified computing platform
The first step for an enterprise to transition from an existing information system to a private cloud architecture is a unified computing platform. Integrated with hardware product platform, existing storage
ECS
Bundle with the network for compatibility testing.
2. Integrate existing information technology resources
Whether deploying a private cloud with internal hardware and software or leasing computing resources from an external public cloud, enterprises need to consider how to deal with and dispose of existing IT infrastructure investments. Therefore, the effective integration of existing IT resources is one of the keys to determine whether private cloud deployment is efficient.
3. Flexible expansion
One of the most essential characteristics of cloud computing is to help enterprise users use IT resources flexibly and efficiently. Therefore, for the deployment of cloud computing platforms, the real requirements for flexible space and scalability must be considered. Before implementing a private cloud deployment that increases or decreases information technology resources on demand, it is an important consideration to truly assess the flexibility requirements.
