Security and Isolation of Data With Private Clouds

With Private Clouds, the ownership, management and deployment are all exclusively done by in-house administrators. Data isolation is anchored in the security requirements distinct to internal processes; thus more enhanced.

There are numerous published concepts, views, theories and dedicated websites that illustrate the level and degree of security that Public Clouds can offer; all focused on one major concern – data control and management. However, the fact remains: Public Clouds are just that, public. Data isolation can only be as effective and powerful as the virtualization technologies applied to create the cloud and the provider’s established firewall.
