If you run an enterprise or are the CTO, you may have finally decided to update your hosting solution. This most likely means picking a private cloud hosting service. If so, here are the best four out there.
Rackspace
As the “number one managed cloud company” it should probably come as no surprise that this organization makes our list. Part of this is no doubt because of its use of OpenStack, which is an open-sourced cloud platform that was actually co-founded by none other than NASA; if it’s good enough for them, it’s probably good enough for you.
Its IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) offering is completely open-source and has made RackSpace one of the most popular cloud application companies on the planet.
Of course, the company also works with Linux and Windows-backed infrastructures, too. For those using Microsoft Azure, you’ll be glad to know that RackSpace can work with that popular application, as well.
If this is your first time using a private cloud hosting solution, RackSpace’s customer service will not disappoint. The company is renowned for it. Even if you’ve used private cloud hosting before and know exactly how to deploy it for your needs, it helps knowing you can always call RackSpace, 24/7, to get the assistance you need.
While RackSpace currently only has six data centers in total, this hasn’t proven to be a problem.
Datapipe
Another great company for your private cloud hosting solution needs is Datapipe. Their ISA PCI and CISSP certifications are only part of the equation, though. Their SOX-compliant cloud hosting solutions are fantastic for companies that outsource their retention and financial data needs.
If you’re planning on using Azure, you’re going to have more than 60 services in Microsoft’s catalog to choose from. Making the most out of these offerings is a lot easier when you’re using DataPipe because it can align these selections with your specific needs.
DataPipe also has fantastic customer service. They are known for taking a very hands-on approach with their clients no matter where they’re located or what they need.
Tierpoint
If you have no idea where to begin with your private cloud hosting needs, Tierpoint can help. One of their specialties is helping to onboard companies with no experience with private cloud hosting but with very specific needs.
That’s not all, though. They also offer very impressive security measures and business continuity services. Best-in-class technology and industry-leading SLAs have helped TierPoint attract and keep customers from all over the world and in just about every area of business.
Managed services you can add to your private cloud hosting setup include managed Azure, DRaaS, managed Office 365, workspace recovery areas and over a dozen more.
Expedient
As a private cloud user of Expedient hosting solutions, you’ll be able to access your hypervisors whenever you like. This will give you much more control over your company’s network maintenance and operations. At the same time, Expedient is extremely streamlined, secure and cost-effective.
If you have very niche needs for your hosting, don’t worry. This company can custom-build a private and scalable server for your business. Expedient will handle and maintain all of your hardware capacity planning – or work with you – and ensure that only you and your team have access to them.
Leveraging the most recent in Intel cloud technology, any of your transaction-intensive applications can be supported.
Managed private cloud hosting solutions aren’t just beneficial to your company; more and more, they’ve become necessary. That’s why you should consider one of the four managed private cloud-hosting solutions for your enterprise that we just listed. While any of them would be a good choice, take some extra time to make sure you pick the best possible one.
