Private Cloud Countersignature Made Easy

Private cloud countersignature

are you confused by the differences between public and private cloud well in this versus episode we're going to take a look at the differences between these two very important technology sectors i'm anthony sequero with it pro tv and welcome to this versus episode [Music] now wait a minute let's back up a step here before we delve into the differences between public and private cloud let's just remind ourselves what does it mean to be cloud these days it seems like everyone wants to append or pre-pend the word cloud to their technology so they'll garner more sales because we all know the cloud is hot and new and exciting well what it really means to be cloud according to the national institute of standards and technology is to meet five different criteria you should be engaging in resource pooling in order to take advantage of all that great hardware that you have you should be able to make resources available on demand for your users there should be broad network access to the data or the solution it should be able to dynamically scale up or down or out or in as demand dictates so if we're having a lot of access one weekend to our solution it should be able to dynamically scale to meet those access demands and then shrink when no longer required and then finally we want to make sure that the cloud service is closely measured and that's because we can turn around and be billed based on just what we used or as we'll talk about in the case of private cloud you might want to do a charge back to a department inside of your enterprise that's using a lot of cloud so now that we understand just what makes cloud cloud let's zero in on these different deployment models that we have the most popular the one we think of immediately is public cloud typically this is where we're gonna leverage a cloud provider like amazon web services from amazon or the azure service from microsoft and we're going to have them take care of all of the provisioning and all of the engineering of the cloud itself and then we will make our services available in that public cloud now if we do not want that third party involved we can really follow the blueprint to success that these cloud vendors have had and we can implement all of this cloud technology in our own data center so we will be in charge of everything involving the cloud and we will not rely on a third party now it's interesting because most folks would think that the most popular deployment model would have to be public i mean look at the success of aws and azure and ibm and google and alibaba i mean it's gotta be public cloud that's the most popular but what's interesting is the most popular deployment model is actually a blend of the two that's the hybrid deployment model and that is hugely popular here's why there's lots of things that we can't do on our own so we'll go ahead and rely on a public cloud for those things but for those cloud technologies that we can do in-house we love to do those in-house so a hybrid utilization of both public and private cloud is what we see again and again in enterprises today as i record this i'm at our beautiful it pro tv headquarters here in gainesville florida and we are a hybrid cloud shop relying on aws for some things azure for some things and our own private data center utilizing cloud tech for yet other things now if we wanted to give a startup example here we could use this great idea for a company that i have and it's cat pro tv because the internet just doesn't have enough cat videos and photographs so cat pro tv is a new and exciting startup and sure enough there are aspects of cat pro tv that my i.t department and i we just cannot figure out how we're going to be able to afford for instance the fast delivery of cat videos all over the world not to mention our great cat tea cat pro tv t-shirts that's tough to say so the aspects of the the cat pro tv site and solution that we can't handle ourselves we've decided to have aws help us with but many of the processes of our great cat pro tv company can be done in our own private cloud a great example of that is the initial improvements of the audio and video of these videos and photographs that's done in our own private cloud with aws helping us with that global distribution now just as there are a variety of technologies that we could use to build our own private cloud we could be relying on cisco and vmware and netapp we could be relying on all these different technologies to help build the private cloud in our organization keep in mind there's options when it comes to public cloud we all know about aws being the market leader but we know that microsoft isn't all that far behind in fact interestingly microsoft beats aws now in revenue but yeah there are options out there and i'll tell you this if you use it itprotv training to learn something like aws well trust me learning azure and google cloud platform it's so much easier once you know one public cloud it's really easy to learn the others so is there any one solution one deployment model that's best no there really isn't there are subtle and not so subtle differences between them for example if you need 100 full control over your solution well public cloud is not for you you're going to lean more towards private cloud where you can be in control of all of the technology even though you may be spending a ton of money with aws it's not like you can show up at the data center in your local geography and say i want a tour and i want to see my server and i want this and i want that they won't even let you in so the complete control can be a big factor as well as your initial capital expenditures many of us like here at cat pro tv i don't have the money to buy all of the infrastructure that would be needed for my private cloud so i might start in the public cloud and then slowly migrate to more of a private cloud approach as a matter of fact that is exactly the path of companies like netflix and dropbox and many of these other giants they started out almost all public and now they're almost all private we can't forget about the hybrid option too for when we want to experience the best of both worlds well i hope you enjoyed this versus episode where we took a detailed look at public verse private cloud and we've got more great versus episodes coming up
