Choosing the Right Private Cloud for Your Enterprise

The benefits and trade-offs

Published September 2017

Typically, businesses decline to move all their critical workloads to the multi-tenant public cloud due to complex legacy technology obstacles or strict requirements in areas such as security, compliance and availability. Instead, they’re building private clouds powered by technologies like VMware, Microsoft and OpenStack.

These solutions enable IT to deliver the efficiencies and self-service options their business stakeholders demand. But implementation requires a significant budget and time investment. As a result, choosing the best-fit solution is absolutely critical.

This white paper explores the unique benefits and trade-offs of each of the leading private cloud technologies (VMware, Microsoft and OpenStack). It also provides real-world examples of successful implementations to illustrate the kinds of business problems each platform is best-suited to solve.
