When it makes sense to switch from public to private cloud
When it makes sense to switch from public to private cloud

Working in the cloud has many advantages. Employees can access data from anywhere. Sharing and collaborative editing of documents is also possible. There are three options to choose from when implementing cloud solutions:
- Public cloud
- Private cloud
- Hybrid cloud
A public cloud is available to any interested user via the internet. There are free and fee-based offers. The basis for the private cloud is a company’s internal IT network technology. The server does not necessarily have to be located in the company. IT service providers also offer individual private cloud solutions. There are also hybrid clouds, a mixture of both options. The company uses both variants, depending on which requirements are important for the individual work and processes. An IT consultant can provide advice on which cloud solution is best suited to the company in question.
Public cloud as a standard solution
The user uses a public cloud via the internet. This saves the company from having to invest in its own IT infrastructure. The administrative effort is also low, meaning that no in-house IT specialist is required for these tasks. Some public cloud services offer access free of charge up to a certain range of functions and services. For many small companies and start-ups, this is an inexpensive way to use the cloud. Depending on the type and size of the company, this range of functions may also be sufficient in the long term. If the company grows, it may quickly reach its limits with a free public cloud. In this case, you are forced to expand to a higher, paid-for scope of services, which can result in high costs. The standard solutions of a public cloud do not offer individual, company-specific IT solutions. The aspect of data security also plays a role. If the provider’s server is located in the USA, for example, the US authorities may demand access to the data due to legal regulations.
The private cloud from the system house
A private cloud requires a higher level of administration, which can also be handled by an external IT consultant. It is not necessary to develop all components in-house. There are also ready-made systems that can be configured individually. With xDesk, accompio offers such a closed private cloud system including the necessary IT infrastructure. Hardware usage, licenses and IT service are included. If there is a need for more intensive use, scalability is also provided here. Data storage takes place in Germany and is subject to high security standards. In most cases, the decisive factors for switching from a private to a public cloud are data security, costs, higher performance requirements or the need for individual functions and services. A hybrid solution can be a good compromise. Sensitive processes can be handled via the private cloud, while the public offerings are sufficient for other tasks.
