Private Cloud Solutions & Services

Q: How secure is Private Cloud?

Renting the cloud that is made up of a pool of isolated physical resources with a virtualization environment is one of the safest solutions for deploying IT infrastructure. Clients who have increased information security requirements — banks, Fintech companies, and medical centres go for Private Cloud protected environment. Sensitive data — financial, biometric, state secrets, and others — can be protected from access by third parties directly in the cloud storage and during transmission through communication channels. Companies that choose to place in Colobridge Private Cloud are very likely to pass a rigorous IT audit, including from the Big Four.

Q: What virtualization systems can I use to build a private cloud?

On Colobridge platform, with the help provided by our tech team, you can deploy a virtualization system based on VMware vSphere/Microsoft Hyper-V software or use any hypervisor you need (Proxmox, Xen or other). You can use previously purchased licenses or rent them from us. We have many examples of Private Clouds placed on these virtualization systems.

Fully isolated cloud infrastructure placed on dedicated high-performance servers. Located in Germany, in two certified data centres. 24/7 support in your native language.

Private Cloud Services Benefits

Fully isolated infrastructure

On Colobridge platform, you can build a Private Corporate Cloud; it meets the absolute majority of requirements that medium and large businesses have. Physical servers are isolated from other customers’ hardware and enable deploying an elastic, secure and scalable virtual environment on the hardware allocated by the provider.

Tools to monitor and control access to racks

You can monitor the rack in real time via a modern video monitoring system and control access to it using IP locks on server cabinets. This is how you will be able to build IT infrastructure having increased requirements for hardware physical security.

Full control over IT infrastructure

Renting a private cloud enables implementing a scenario where you independently deploy virtualization environment and further administer IT infrastructure or delegate these tasks to our team. This is important for workloads subject to regulatory restrictions or strict corporate security policies.

We will build a hybrid cloud on demand

On Colobridge platform, you can combine a Private Cloud with a Public Cloud. That way, you will get a hybrid cloud that can easily provide extra virtual resources for non-critical workloads.

FAQs about Private Cloud Solutions

What is the difference between a private cloud and a public cloud?

Public Clouds are attractive given the speed of virtual machine deployment and resource allocation, but Public Cloud capabilities are very limited as physical infrastructure is used by many customers. In contrast, Private Cloud is used by one client solely, and all the physical infrastructure is customized to suit its tasks, performance and data protection requirements. At the same time, from the technical viewpoint, both types of clouds are the same: they constitute a set of hardware resources (servers, storage systems) with a virtualization system. Private Cloud is suitable for situations when the public cloud does not meet infrastructure technical requirements (disk subsystem, the number of cores and RAM per virtual machine, the processor base frequency) or the company security policy. Moreover, in Private Cloud, it is possible to implement full access to administering the IT infrastructure at the hypervisor and hardware level, as well as buy back the hardware in the future. Thus, Private Cloud combines both dedicated servers’ performance and security and Public Cloud’s elasticity when the required amount of virtual resources can be allocated for specific workloads.

How secure is Private Cloud?

Renting the hosted private cloud solution that is made up of a pool of isolated physical resources with a virtualization environment is one of the safest solutions for deploying IT infrastructure. Clients who have increased information security requirements — banks, Fintech companies, and medical centres go for Private Cloud protected environment. Sensitive data — financial, biometric, state secrets, and others — can be protected from access by third parties directly in the cloud storage and during transmission through communication channels. Companies that choose to place in Colobridge Private Cloud are very likely to pass a rigorous IT audit, including from the Big Four.

Where will the physical servers be located?

Territorially, all servers and data stored on them will be located in the German data centres – Telehouse (Tier III) and Equinix (Tier III+) in the city of Frankfurt am Main. In both data centres, there are power supply and cooling systems which make it impossible for the hardware to stop operating if a power cut or overheating happens. Data centres also have ISO 9001 Management Quality, ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management, ISAE3402/SSAE16 Type 2 Audit Service Management, PCI-DSS Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard certificates. The largest companies such as Netflix, Zoom, Lufthansa, Tele2 and Cisco choose to place hardware there.

How is price to be paid for Private Cloud calculated?

In Private Cloud, the price depends on the configuration of the private dedicated infrastructure you choose, namely the number and technical parameters of individual hardware units. Moreover, the price may include the cost of renting licensed software necessary to build a private cloud. Note that in the long run — over a two- or three-year period — private cloud hosting may be more cost-effective for the same workloads compared to its closest alternative, Public Cloud.

What virtualization systems can I use to build a private cloud?

On Colobridge, hosted private cloud solutions provider, with the help provided by our tech team, you can deploy a virtualization system based on VMware vSphere/Microsoft Hyper-V software or use any hypervisor you need (Proxmox, Xen or other). You can use previously purchased licenses or rent them from us. We have many examples of when a private cloud hosting service is placed on these virtualization systems.
