What is a Private Cloud?
A Private Cloud is a cloud hosting solution dedicated to a single client. A Private cloud hosting solution comprises multiple dedicated servers with either access to a SAN (Shared Area Network) or a dedicated SAN. Each private hosting cloud has control over its own virtualisation software management console (Xen Essentials). This gives you the ability to create, modify or destroy virtual servers as you choose.
How does a Private Cloud work?
After consultation to discuss your current and future business requirements, ForLinux set up the physical hardware environment which would consist of a number of high specification physical servers, internal network switching, Storage Area Network (SAN) and private (VPN/SSH)/ public Internet access. Once complete, the software which controls the cloud hosting solution (called a Hypervisor) will be installed. To manage the private cloud servers an additional piece of software is required – the control centre. From the control centre you can add, delete, resize, shutdown, start up, backup and restore your private cloud servers on demand.
Private Cloud Hosting Example
Here is an example of a private cloud hosting solution. The physical hardware provides a hosted environment for many virtual servers which can be modified on demand. Access is controlled via a hardware firewall.

Hybrid Cloud
- Hybrid Cloud - any combination of Cloud Servers, Dedicated Servers or Amazon EC2 instances
- A customisable cloud hosting solution for large, scalable architecture solutions
- Ideal for solutions needing global points of presence (e.g. Europe, US, Asia)
- Load balancing, auto scaling up and down
- Expert level cloud hosting management and support with one single point of contact
Essentially there are 4 levels of Cloud Hosting
- Infrastructure-as-a-Service – IaaS
- Platform-as-a-Service – PaaS (aka Private Cloud)
- Cloud Servers
- Software-as-a-Service – SaaS
IaaS is the lowest level Cloud offering. This is where preconfigured hardware and storage is provided via a virtual interface or Hypervisor. No operating system in provided. Amazon is an example of IaaS.
PaaS (Private Cloud) goes a stage further and incorporates the operating system and associated utilities for managing the environment.
Cloud Server Hosting is the provisioning of virtual servers in a high availability and scalable environment with no single point of failure.
SaaS provides the complete solution on demand including the software applications. For example
A Hybrid Cloud is a combination of the above with dedicated servers included added into the mix. For example -
In the illustration above the solution is comprised of a mixture of Private Cloud, Cloud Servers, Dedicated Servers, Amazon AWS S3 storage and Amazon AWS EC2 servers.
