The difference between colocation and using a VMware Private Cloud

In today's digital age, businesses are looking for hosting solutions that not only protect their critical data, but also offer maximum flexibility and efficiency. Colocation and Private Cloud are two popular options, each with its own advantages. However, for organizations looking for the optimum solution in terms of security, control and scalability, the VMware Private Cloud offers distinct advantages, especially when managed by an experienced hosting provider like our service.

What is shared accommodation?

Colocation allows companies to rent space in a datacenter where they can install their own servers and other equipment. This option offers complete physical control over the infrastructure, but also requires significant management and maintenance on the part of the company.

Advantages of sharing

• Total control over hardware: ideal for specific requirements not covered by standardized solutions.‍
• Enhanced physical security: thanks to stringent data center security measures.
• Reduced initial investment: by eliminating the need to build your own facilities.

Disadvantages of sharing

• Limited flexibility: difficulty in quickly resizing material resources.

What is a VMware Private Cloud?

VMware Private Cloud is a form of cloud computing where the infrastructure is dedicated to a single company. This solution is managed and maintained by a service provider, offering all the advantages of the cloud, such as scalability and access to cutting-edge technologies, while maintaining complete isolation and enhanced security.
