Private Cloud

A private cloud is a type of “cloud” where data is stored on servers inside a company’s own secure network. It is also known as a “self-managed” or “on-premises” cloud because organizations build and manage their own private cloud. Greyhound data center in Iraq offers two private cloud options for your business:

  • Managed Private Cloud gives your business extra support when it’s needed.

What is the difference between managed hosing and server colocation?

• Both solutions provide protection against downtime and scalability, but the difference is in the ownership of the hardware, control over upgrades, and expertise.
• Server colocation is becoming more popular, because it provides a cost effective option to run your data center. There are many benefits of server colocation. It is almost the same as managed hosting except for the fact that the company owns the servers and location.
