| CloudofOne™ - Private cloud systems for your Business
Our philosophy: Business Systems should be hosted in the cloud. But it must be a private cloud. Your cloud. cloudofone is the only private cloud system that is designed for anyone to install without specialist knowledge. A single installer and simple configuration puts you in charge, and no one can peek at your data. Why a private cloud? A fundamental aspect to consider is data privacy. If the data is personal, or private, you may not want others looking at it, and indeed you may be under legal obligations to ensure they cannot. Yet by placing the information in the public cloud, you are delegating that control to another organization, and whilst they might have no interest in your data, may be forced to hand over access to governmental organizations without informing you. And with clouds crossing national boundaries, that isn’t just your own government peeking at your information. Aside from national regulations, PCI regulations for card payment processing are fundamentally incompatible with the public cloud, as they require physical access to inspect the machines involved. Worried about how secure your data is? You should be. Security is a primary concern with cloud computing. This is always an issue when you are dealing with private information - pictures and personal data - but is of vital concern when you are storing or sharing data that is itself of high value, such as financial, technical or contract information. 1 - Access to your data This is the privileged user access problem. Once you give your files to a third-party you lose the normal business controls - physical security and personnel management - you have over your documents. Government agencies can have virtually limitless powers to access information without you being told. Public cloud providers must have access to the systems and files containing your sensitive material - but how much can you trust someone else with your information? 2 - Data Location When you use a public cloud service provider you do not know where your data is stored. You may not even know which country it is in, or how many times it has been replicated, and where those copies are located. At most you can get an assurance that it is stored securely - but how much can you trust someone else with your information? 3 - Disaster recovery Problems happen - to everyone. With a public cloud service provider you are just one of many other customers using their service, and in turn they are just one of many customers using any given data center. When the lights go out how quickly are your needs going to be met and how can your business be prioritized? 4 - Business continuity What happens when the public cloud provider goes out of business, or is taken over by another company who wants to change business focus? What happens if the data center your service is using fails? How quickly can you get your service up and running again? Can you even get your data out? Getting started with your own private cloudThe Enstar private cloud system is available both pre-configured for specific tasks, or as an unstructured web application development platform.
