Developing a Reliable and Secure Private Cloud

Private cloud hosting is the solution for larger enterprises with resource requirements that outstrip what the shared cloud can offer; more often than not a private cloud configuration can offer better value for money and can deliver a more tailored hosting experience. The platform that lies at the heart of the private cloud is responsible for running everything across the servers that form the cloud as resource management is key to ensuring that a cloud system remains stable; eNlight Cloud Hosting is a recommended platform that will provide you with one interface through which you can manage all of the servers in your cluster and their related resources, enabling you to keep measure of the percentage of spare capacity that is available. The reliability of the cloud will also rely on the hardware that has been used to form the platform; blade servers are the best for such an environment because they have a large hardware capacity and a relatively small rack footprint so that you are able to maximize the level of power received for the space that is used. Security in the cloud can also be reliant on the hardware used, but the focus here is going to be on using hardware firewalls to provide a satisfactory level of protection against DDoS attacks and other such issues; furthermore, the communications between servers in the cloud should be carried internally for security reasons.
