By Aiden ArmstrongThere are many different choices of cloud computing data centers. All offer different features and options for their customers, and finding the right combination for your business computing needs is a critical first step.
To help understand the differences in data centers for cloud computing, there are several issues to keep in mind. Knowing what you want with regard to these issues helps to choose the right data center and service for your current and future computing needs.
Types of Clouds
Top data centers offer a variety of cloud options. These can include private, public, specialized, and hybrid clouds, as well as multicloud options. Hybrid and multicloud options can include combinations of public and private clouds, bare metal servers, or colocation. Multiclouds can include separate but parallel types of cloud systems that are not integrated to provide additional security or to protect sensitive data from exposure.
Cloud Services
Data centers can also offer different cloud services. Think of these as the processes that the data center manages, including infrastructure, software, and platforms. These are provided by Infrastructure-as-a-service or IaaS, which provides the business with data, applications, and operating systems, while the data center manages other features. Platform-as-a-service or PaaS is used mostly by programming and development businesses, and Software-as-a-service (SaaS) provides specialized and customized services that limit the responsibility of the business for any of the maintenance and upkeep of the cloud-based computing solution.
Most businesses choose SaaS as it reduces the need for an in-house IT team while also providing a customized approach that meets the current and future needs of the business.
