Public vs. Private Cloud

What’s the difference? A big one.

Many people are reluctant to use public cloud services and, at DHK, we don’t blame you! We don’t like public cloud either. What we offer is different. Here are some of the differences between public cloud and our private cloud services:

  • When you use a public cloud scenario you’re renting a fractional part of a computer. With our private cloud services, you’re getting your own dedicated server - it’s not shared.
  • Because of that fractional vs. dedicated difference, there are security differences too. When you only have a fractional part of a computer, you have security compromises to be concerned about. In our private cloud environment, every customer is completely firewalled from every other customer. A problem with one customer has no impact on another - there is NO network access between customers.
  • With a public cloud service, your data could be located anywhere in the world; it could be in Dallas today, Los Angeles tomorrow, and Singapore next week. With our Private Cloud service, your data is on your server, which doesn’t move. It remains, always, in our secure facility.
  • Our customers have secure remote access to their data anytime, anywhere.
