Global analysis firm Gartner predicts global spending on public cloud services will increase more than 20% in 2024, as organizations of all types and sizes continue upping investments in overall IT services.

What is a “public” cloud?

Here’s a quick definition:

Enables users to access and share basic computing infrastructure, including hardware, storage, and networks. Each company’s access remains isolated from other organizations. Most organizations employ public cloud solutions based on availability, ease of use, and interoperability with prevalent business tools.

How does a public cloud differ from a “private” cloud?

Here’s clarification:

Also known as enterprise clouds, this private computing model is constructed and managed using an organization’s internal IT infrastructure and resources. Since the company is responsible for all maintenance, upgrades, equipment, and software, private clouds usually present cost challenges for small- to medium-size businesses (SMBs.)

Where do “hybrid” clouds fit?

By pooling two or more virtual environments—public and/or private – using 3rd-party-sourced hardware – as well as company-supplied equipment, support and services – organizations can strike a balance of capabilities and benefits that fits available funding.

How can you strike the right balance of cloud services for your company?

As a premier Managed Services Provider (MSP), we recommend a common-sense outsourcing strategy known as co-managing IT. This approach allows you to:
  • Access a broader, deeper range of technical skills in pivotal fields such as cloud infrastructure for business-critical backup and disaster recovery (BUDR) routines
  • Provide timely, highly responsive help desk services for your cloud operations from frontlines to C suite
  • Create a predictable budget that optimizes tech spending during prosperity and controls tech expenses during periods of uncertainty
