Managed Private Cloud
Not all clouds are created equal. Private Cloud: Virtualized by VMware, is a dedicated hardware environment with a virtualization layer running on top. This allows you to create and manage multiple virtual servers within a set of physical servers. Built on dedicated, branded servers running VMware, our managed private clouds are a more secure and reliable approach to the public cloud. And as it’s a dedicated environment, you – and only you – occupy these servers.
Your Mission Critical Applications are Ready to Run Private Cloud: Virtualized by VMware
When people talk about cloud computing, they are usually referring to public cloud, which have hundreds or even thousands of businesses running in isolated containers within the same physical environment. There are benefits to public cloud but also limitations in terms of security, reliability, performance and customisation.
This is where Private Cloud: Virtualized by VMware come in. In a private cloud, all our customers have their own dedicated hardware and receive the same support as a traditional managed hosting environment. Yet you can still scale quickly, optimize your hardware resources and get utility billing for your Virtual Machines. Think of it as getting the best of the cloud combined with the best of dedicated hosting.

Tips for Evaluating Private Clouds
1.
How Secure is Secure?
First, define and identify what's mission critical to you. If your data and apps have to be as secure as possible, or require the power of guaranteed dedicated infrastructure, Private Cloud are the way to go.
2.
The Speed and Size to Scale
With a Private Cloud, the number of VMs you can provision and deploy will be limited by physical hardware. You can add computing power, but it just won’t be as fast as a public cloud. So ask yourself how fast do you need to scale—instantly or fast?
3.
What to Run and Not Run on our Managed Private Cloud
You might not need or want to run everything on a Private Cloud. It might make more sense to run your databases on dedicated servers or run your web servers in the Public Cloud using our hybrid hosting solutions. The point is you have options.
4.
Virtualization Expertise Not Needed
You want to take advantage of Private Cloud: Virtualized by VMware but don't have the skills or time to mess with VMs. Then consider a managed Private Cloud.
