0344 874 1000 enquiries@idegroup.com CONTACT What is a public cloud solution? A public cloud solution is a cloud infrastructure that can be used by everyone within a secure environment. Computing services are provided by third-party providers over the public internet, making them accessible to anyone who needs to use or purchase them. These public cloud solutions may be free or sold on demand, allowing customers to only pay for what they use. This means that customers will be charged for the CPU cycles, storage, or bandwidth that they consume. Well-known public clouds are Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS). Why do you need a public cloud solution? Many businesses still require a public cloud to satisfy their aims and objectives. Here are some of the key reasons why an organisation would choose a public cloud solution: Talent Big public cloud vendors attract some the world’s most talented engineers, giving businesses access to highly skilled teams of IT professionals who are tasked solely with protecting your cloud infrastructure. Security innovation The most advanced security services are cloud native. Innovative new security technologies are being designed specifically for use within cloud-based solutions. Hosting The cloud service provider is responsible for the management and maintenance of the data centre(s) where data is stored, ensuring that businesses don’t need to worry about managing their own cloud solution. No lengthy procurement processes Public cloud solutions avoid delays caused by waiting for operations to install your operating system, configure and assemble servers, or establish connectivity. Increased efficiency Cloud technology allows developers to adopt Agile workflows, significantly reducing lead times when testing and deploying new products or releasing product updates. Pay-as-you-use pricing Public clouds require businesses to pay for the resources they use, eliminating wasted spending in the process. Moreover, they can offer the flexibility to scale up or down according to demand. Lower energy costs Eliminating the need for internal servers also means eliminating the energy cost that is required to run them.

CONTACT US How can we help you? We are extremely proud of the relationships we have developed with all the major public cloud service providers, as well as the public cloud service that we provide ourselves. Each provider offers different features and costs. Our aim is to match, at the lowest possible TCO, your workloads to the correct service. Once successfully matched, we provide ongoing orchestration and support of all services. IDE Group’s multi-tenant cloud hosting platform – our public cloud service – is operated from our highly connected and resilient data centres. It provides customers on annual contracts with many of the benefits of large public clouds, such as AWS and Microsoft Azure, but at a far lower TCO. Public cloud services offered by companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google offer almost unimaginably rapid access and unlimited elasticity of scale. They are perfect for workloads where demand may peak quickly, such as websites, as new resources can instantly be brought online. However, at the same time, clients have to bear in mind that, while public clouds allow them to choose from a wide range of services, this may also cause costs to spiral. Careful consideration has to be given before transferring a workload to a public cloud. Need a different service?
