Private Cloud vs. Public Cloud: Choosing the Right Model

Private Cloud vs. Public Cloud: Choosing the Right Model

The choice between private and public cloud hinges on the balance between control, security, and cost-efficiency.

Aspect Public Cloud (e.g., Nexqloud Standard) Private Cloud
Tenancy Multi-tenant: Infrastructure is shared among many customers. Single-tenant: Infrastructure is dedicated to a single organization.
Control & Customization Standardized services; limited low-level access. Full control over hardware, network, and software stack.
Security & Compliance Provider-managed security of the cloud; strong, standardized controls. Customer-managed security; ideal for bespoke compliance needs.
Cost Model Operational Expenditure (OpEx); pay-as-you-go. High Capital Expenditure (CapEx) for on-premises; can be OpEx for hosted.
Scalability Essentially limitless, immediate scalability. Limited by the capacity of the dedicated hardware.
