A private cloud is a computing service offered either over the internet or a private internal network to selected users (your company) only, not the general public. Being a cloud service, private clouds have all the cloud benefits of self-service, scalability and elasticity with additional control and customisation. Private clouds deliver a much higher level of security and privacy.
The main advantage of a private cloud solution is that resources aren’t shared with any external entities. A private cloud consists of cloud computing resources used exclusively by your organisation. This is hosted by Coreix on one of our data centres or multiple depending on your requirements. The services and infrastructure are always maintained on a private network and the hardware and software are dedicated solely to your organisation. These solutions offer greater visibility into infrastructure and enable more stringent cloud security in addition to easier control over data locality, improved data governance and low-latency performance.
It’s best for businesses with dynamic or unpredictable computing needs that need direct control over their environments, usually for security purposes, business governance or regulatory compliance requirements. In this way, a private cloud can make it easier for an organisation to customise its resources to meet specific security requirements. Our private cloud is used for the benefits of cloud computing with the additional security our clients need.
The modern landscape of cloud can be confusing due to the sheer volume of information available in this digital age. The more modern approach, which many companies are adopting today, is a hybrid cloud or multi cloud environment policy. Nevertheless, the reality is that unless you are setting up a brand-new business there will be legacy solutions which cannot always be migrated to public cloud, or for various reasons should not be migrated to public cloud.
A private cloud solution offers the flexibility of public cloud with the additional assurance that these resources are dedicated to your business alone. Private clouds need to be specifically tailored to your requirements to ensure a truly flexible and scalable service so we work with you to discuss and implement your options. Nevertheless, regardless of the age of your business, private cloud solutions can be more relevant now than ever.
Private cloud offers
More control
As these resources are not shared with others you have much more control over sensitive information and levels of privacy.
More flexibility
With the correct implementation we can build a solution that fits around your specific business needs.
More scalability
Built for unpredictable traffic private cloud offers easily scalable resources with the security of on premises infrastructure.
Coreix have been building these solutions since 2003 and have a highly accredited technical team to help you choose the best solution for your business. We believe in offering the right solution for your current and future needs and will work with you to ensure your infrastructure holds up against any unpredictability.
Our private cloud solutions are offset with our standard SLA of 100% uptime, 100% infrastructure availability and 100% network availability with our 5 minute response 24/7/365 meaning unlike other providers there is always someone available to assist you and keep your business running.

Key Use-Cases
Critical Services
Private cloud solutions are suited to run mission critical or legacy applications where migration to public cloud can be prohibitively expensive, especially in cases where the applications are due to be retired long term. This approach can enable businesses to continue to utilise in-house developed applications until they are due to retirement.
Large Volume Storage
In many cases the most surprising cost for clients moving to public cloud are in relation to data storage, private cloud solutions traditionally offer high performance storage solutions in a more cost-effective manner when we are discussing large volumes. It may be that your business wishes to avoid the expense of large volumes of data in a public cloud environment in this case private cloud may be more suitable to your requirements.
Consolidation and migration
Migrating from an on-premise solution can be a key rationale for moving to private cloud. It may be that you have a significant quantity of off-site legacy servers that do not warrant individual dedicated servers and would benefit from virtualisation. There could be multiple reasons for the desire to migration including cost efficiency or the ease of operational management, regardless, a private cloud solution could work for your business.
The key benefit of utilising private cloud for a migration is that the environment can be prepared with a view to migrating the workloads over time. With this model you gain all the benefits of cloud and reduce operational costs without expensive application development or modernisation.
Expansion
It may be that you want to expand an on-premise solution with new cloud capacity without the cost of purchasing new hardware. A private cloud solution would enable your business to develop cloud-native applications within an environment similar to the one the business already operates on-premise.
Portability
Modern private cloud solutions enable business to optimise capacity and workloads by location and the most suited infrastructure for the task in hand. By utilising standardised solutions workloads can be moved to other cloud environments with ease.
Performance
The performance of applications and workloads can be optimised easily. Solutions can be expanded based upon resource requirements on a geographic basis. Resources can easily be reallocated or expanded to avoid application issues.
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
Private cloud solutions build resiliency into hosting solutions due to the architecture implemented, this in conjunction with a solid off-site backup strategy can help you achieve more piece of mind. These solutions can be spanned across multiple datacentres which can aid with disaster recovery and business continuity. Should there be an issue at the primary location, operations can switch over to the secondary location.
Compliance and Data Sovereignty
Governance, security and compliance can be a project driver. As more legislation is passed understanding your cloud infrastructure is more important now than ever before. With a private cloud solution, you are in charge of these aspects and can optimise environments around requirements.
