What is the difference between public and private cloud?
A public cloud is a shared infrastructure offered by third-party providers, where multiple organizations share resources. A private cloud is a dedicated environment designed for a single organization, offering greater control, security, and customization.
When should I choose a private cloud over a public cloud?
A private cloud is ideal if your business requires strict data security, regulatory compliance, or customization. If you need scalable, cost-effective solutions without the need for high levels of control, a public cloud may be more suitable.
Can Cloud Latitude help with hybrid cloud solutions?
Yes, Cloud Latitude specializes in hybrid cloud setups, combining the benefits of both public and private clouds to offer flexibility, scalability, and control based on your business needs.
What are the benefits of using a public cloud?
A public cloud offers cost-efficiency, scalability, and accessibility, making it a good fit for businesses looking to quickly scale operations without investing heavily in infrastructure.
How does cloud security differ between public and private clouds?
A private cloud typically offers more control over security measures, allowing for tailored solutions. Public clouds, though shared, also have robust security protocols in place, but control over these measures is managed by the cloud provider.
