Cloud Hosting
Whether public or private, Virtacore Systems has a cloud hosting solution that’s right for you.
Scale Quickly, Host Easily With a Cloud Hosting Solution
Virtacore Systems Cloud Hosting allows you to access the aggregate capabilities of a cluster of IT resources (servers, load balancers, firewalls, storage, etc.). Virtacore owns, maintains, and manages the underlying hardware infrastructure, but you have exclusive access to scale your hosting needs on demand. Using the latest in cloud hosting virtualization software technology, your private or public cloud hosting solution allows you to benefit from the capabilities of the Virtacore infrastructure on a transparent basis.
Public Cloud or Private Cloud Hosting - Which is right for YOUR business?
There are two main types of Cloud Hosting offerings in the marketplace – Public Cloud Hosting and Private Cloud Hosting.
Public Cloud Hosting makes resources, such as applications and storage, available over the public Internet, often on a free or pay-per-use basis. The underlying infrastructure supporting these services is shared and serves many different customers (e.g. companies).
Examples of public clouds services include Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), IBM's Blue Cloud, Sun Cloud, Google AppEngine and Windows Azure Services Platform.
Private Cloud Hosting, also called internal or corporate clouds, are solutions dedicated to a single company. For example, the underlying infrastructure is dedicated to a defined group of people behind a firewall. Companies typically access their private cloud using a private network.
Examples of private cloud solutions include Virtacore's Private Cloud (vPC) solutions.

Scalability, Availability and Security
While there are many similarities between Public and Private Cloud Hosting, the differences in scalability, availability and security define how each can be used best. For example, if you need to replace only a single Dedicated Server, or run a single application, and security and 100% uptime are not mission-critical, Public Cloud Hosting can deliver the benefits of virtualization at the most cost-effective level. However, if your IT infrastructure is large and/or your website(s) are mission-critical, Private Cloud Hosting will likely be the optimal solution.
