Are you concerned about your data in the Cloud…where it is stored, how it is managed and protected?  Are you paying too much to use or struggling to access your data across multiple cloud providers and for Cloud services in general? Are you wanting to take advantage of the AI/ ML capabilities now available to manage your cloud environment? Cloud solutions in general, can increase an organisation’s agility, accelerate time to market for new products and services, improve customer experience through enhanced uptime and responsiveness, and enable developer experimentation in a secure environment.  

While hyper scale public clouds have massively boosted the agility, flexibility, and scalability of IT over the past decade, the private cloud is an unsung hero with unique capabilities. Today, however, as more organisations seek multi-cloud flexibility and hybrid solutions to supplement the public cloud, they are rediscovering the benefits of private cloud —reclaiming control of their infrastructure, and prioritising data sovereignty by bringing more workloads back under their management. PII is becoming a topic of the day, how do you manage this within your IT environment? A private cloud can offer data security, customisation opportunities, and competitive advantages that lead to superior margins and sustainable expansion aligned with business forecasts — all routes to revenue growth.

A hybrid solution including private cloud also offers a route to sustainable business growth by aligning closely with typical business forecasting principles. The point is that when it comes to adopting cloud technology to support business growth and business agility and responsiveness, a private cloud can offer solutions that address common concerns and risk factors such as span of control, trust, and transaction costs. Where business criticality is high, a private cloud will make a lot of sense. Another way of looking at it is to consider whether a workload is key to a business’s competitive advantage. If it is, and the business has the capabilities to support it, then a private cloud is probably a more sensible option at least for your business-critical data and non-cloud native applications. 

Rackspace Technology is hosting an executive lunch on the 25th of July, to discuss how factors like control, compliance mandates, data sovereignty requirements, or AI/ML adoption will often make the private cloud the preferred option for some business-critical workloads tied to revenue generation. You’ll also hear how a modern private cloud matches a public cloud in terms of scalability and instant flexibility when needed.

Join us to explore how Rackspace Technology can help you build a Private Cloud your way while also harnessing the unparalleled power of AI within the confines of your own secure private cloud environment.
