  • What is a private cloud?

    Also known as an internal or single-tenant cloud, a private cloud is a cloud computing environment owned and operated by a single organisation. It's often used by institutions and companies that handle unusually sensitive data.


  • What are the benefits of a private cloud?

    The biggest use case for the private cloud is when a company needs an unusually high level of security, often to meet compliance regulations. But it also provides a level of control over architecture, software and hardware that a public cloud can't compete with.


  • How does a private cloud work?

    Like the public cloud, a private cloud relies on virtualisation software, administrative management software and automation technologies in order to run.


  • What are the different types of private clouds?

    There are three main types of private clouds: on-premises, managed and virtual. Each has its advantages, disadvantages and use cases.


  • What is lift-and-shift migration?

    Lift-and-shift migration is a type of cloud migration where your workloads aren't re-architected but moved wholesale to your new cloud environment. Before the migration takes place, however, redundant workloads will be deleted.


    This type of migration gets you where you want to be with a minimum of fuss. Once the migration is complete, we offer post-migration optimisation services to ensure your infrastructure is running at peak performance.
