What is a private cloud solution?
On our previous blog post we discussed that a true Private Cloud solution is a comprehensive solution that integrates a group of cloud services like dedicated resources, data storage, backup, DRaaS, security and support to deliver a comprehensive one-stop platform for clients. Consequently this solution is ideal for businesses that are just expanding and are in need of more powerful infrastructure. In other words, SMEs (Small and medium-sized enterprises).
Hosting industry giants including Amazon, Google and Microsoft all provide private cloud solutions for business clients. The difference between them and us is that we have created a solution that can be deployed by all kinds of businesses, big or small. More on this coming up right below.

If your business is just expanding, the last thing you’d want to come your way is more unbearable costs. That is why we want to make your business growth, smooth, affordable and absolutely a pleasant experience that you can happily think back to. Our Private Cloud solution comes with the right attributes to achieve this goal.
Features of our private cloud solution
From CloudCone’s highlight features to features that we’ve introduced specifically for Private Cloud, the platform comes with a range of helpful attributes that can streamline your business. Let’s talk about a few:
Storage
Earlier we mentioned that our solution stands out in the industry because we’ve designed it to be afforded by anyone, no matter where your business is in its life-cycle.
Most of the industry giants change their clients’ cloud infrastructure and swap in different hardware to create a “standard SAN” that is somehow way more expensive that it should be. At CloudCone, we create a SAN (Storage Area Network) with the same efficiency and performance using commodity disks in your hypervisors. This way you will actually be able to enjoy your business profits and not spend them all on hardware. We do all this while leaving your cloud infrastructure just as it is so that your unique workflow is not compromised.
DRaaS
Built on the belief that your business and its data are the most important things to you, CloudCone DRaaS (Disaster Recovery as a Service) provides an easy solution that will ensure peace of mind from uncertainty, even from unknown acts of God.
CloudCone’s high-performance DR solution comes with a zero data loss guarantee for most workloads as well. The data protection happens in real time so you wouldn’t have to worry about sparing separate efforts to secure and backup your data. Even if your primary site gets compromised you would have no problem keeping your mission-critical business projects up and running. All these workloads could operate off a secondary site even while all the executives, technical engineers, business partners, and shareholders are asleep.
Business Cloud Support
As a cloud hosting provider we have always prioritized client support and care. And with private cloud it’s no different. We go beyond the general break-fixes and issue resolutions. Our Business Cloud Support plan proactively optimizes overall performance, lowers costs & even helps you innovate for the future.
We’re proactive in that our technical advisors will constantly monitor your infrastructure to bring in updates, upgrades and security measures when necessary. We help you innovate by extending the expertise of our technical advisors for you to make revolutionary business decisions. Ready to make a change? We’re ready to help you with our knowledge-base. And through all this we advocate cost efficiency. There are absolutely no hidden charges or extra costs for you to access our Business Cloud Support.
Key highlights of our Business Cloud Support:
- 1:1 technical support via internal communications platform during local business hours.
- 24x7x365 direct access to our internal communication platform.
- Less than 10 minutes response time from a dedicated technical cloud engineer for the most mission-critical components.
Affordability
Our key aim with the Private Cloud solution is to provide a solution with a brilliant performance that can be afforded by any business. In achieving this aim, we’ve researched how industry giants charge their clients and we’ve come across unnecessary additional expenses that create cost inefficiencies.
On average, businesses will spend upwards of $4,000 per month for hosting on AWS with only a few VM’s. Server configurations on our platform can give you the same end-user result at a much lower cost of about $1,600. And since we offer private cloud solution, you will have much more control over all the allocated resources.
A range of other features are included in our private cloud solution and are available for you to go through on our product whitepaper.
With us you’ve got nothing to worry about. Our private cloud solution comes with complete privacy and strict security. And we’ve got your staff training covered, with our extensive migration readiness and planning process (details at the bottom of the post). If you’d ever need assistance our dedicated support is available to you 24/7.
