Private Cloud Hosting

Cloud hosting icon Need instant scalability without sacrificing performance and security?
Private Cloud Hosting may be right for you.

Advantages presented by the cloud

Having received a great deal of attention in the press in recent years, cloud hosting is largely comprised of using virtualization technology to provision servers instantly that run on an underlying redundant and scalable infrastructure.

Not a quick fix

Moving into cloud hosting is not a quick fix for scalability problems, and often a dedicated infrastructure can be a cheaper and easier solution. Things you should be aware of:

  • Does your application work well in parallel?
  • Will your database layer be the bottleneck and can it scale horizontally?
  • Can you provision new servers instantly, or does bringing one on require significant configuration in your application

All of these can pose challenges. With our years of application development experience behind us, and experience building and scaling large websites, we can provide both the infrastructure and the necessary technical support to move to the cloud.

A “dedicated” approach

Some of the main problems with public cloud offerings are:

  • Inconsistent performance - because you are on shared infrastructure, performance can be impacted by other factors
  • Lack of visibility - not being able to see and monitor the underlying storage and virtualization layers hampers the ability to monitor and track performance trends
  • Security - concerns of storing data that is on a shared infrastructure

This is why we offer Private Cloud Hosting. Our approach allows you to maintain your own dedicated container (with its own physical environment) that isn’t shared with other businesses. This allows for full customization of operating system and application platforms, as well as unprecedented scalability. Resources are added on-demand, increasing power, storage, and bandwidth as required.

Flexibility, scalability, and security

Private cloud hosting affords a unique balance, affording on-tap (scalable) resources in a highly secure environment. Our Private Cloud Hosting is fully managed by our team, so our clients can rely on 24/7, 365 days a year support. As with all Gossamer Threads services, we handle the details, so you can concentrate on growing your business. Sound interesting?
