Public, Private or Hybrid Cloud: Which Model Fits You?

NIYO1 min read

Not every workload belongs in the same place. Understanding the main cloud models helps you balance cost, control and compliance.

Public cloud

Services are delivered over the internet from a provider's shared infrastructure. It offers fast setup and pay-as-you-go pricing.

Private cloud

Infrastructure is dedicated to one organisation, either on-premises or hosted. It provides more control and can help meet strict regulatory requirements.

Hybrid cloud

A combination of both, where some systems stay private and others use public services. Many organisations end up here naturally.

Questions that guide the choice

  • Where must your data be stored by law or policy?
  • How variable is your workload?
  • What skills does your team have?
  • What is your budget for upfront investment?

Choose the model workload by workload. The goal is the right balance of flexibility, cost and control for each system.
