At WTA Consulting we know cloud computing technology like the back of our hands. And we know how to advise you when you’re considering what cloud IT solutions best suit your unique business needs.  

Public or private or hybrid — the definitions and differences can seem a bit like a labyrinth. It can get difficult to identify which solution would best resolve your challenges. Let’s break it down.  

Public – While public cloud solutions tend to cushion your wallet, they’re also severely limiting.  

Private – Private cloud solutions deliver more control and privacy over your operations but are expensive to maintain.  

Hybrid – Hybrid fuses both ideas, but it’s difficult to implement correctly, especially without the right guidance.  

The cloud continues to grow, and businesses continue to misuse it and underappreciate the value provided. Whether you’re a small business just beginning, or a seasoned corporation, there is an innovative cloud solution that not only fits your business needs now but evolves as your business grows. How do you know which solution is right for you?  

We put together this handy checklist to see if public or private cloud, or a combination of both, is better suited for your business.  

What are you looking for?	Public	Private	Hybrid
I need scalability and flexibility	x		x
I need improved security		x	x
I need more control		x
I need hands-free solutions	x		x
I need a simplified approach	x	x
I need a cost-effective solution	x		x
I need less hardware investment	x		x
I need a reliable solution		x	x
I need a customizable solution		x	x

Take a moment to think about your top three needs. Are they security, reliability and customization? Then you should consider a private cloud solution.  Maybe you prioritize scalability and flexibility with hands-free solutions that are cost efficient. Public cloud might be the better choice. Or maybe you’d like to try a combination of public and private cloud computing for your business, in which a hybrid solution is best. Any way you choose, by leveraging innovative cloud computing technology, you can improve your business operations without rebuilding your entire IT infrastructure.
