Check to see when to go for public cloud, and when to implement a private cloud.
A service offered by providers using public Internet, which enables access for anyone willing to purchase and use public cloud services. It's the most common implementation of cloud computing. It helps companies to deploy quickly and greatly reduce their costs. Savings result from the core fact that the entire IT infrastructure, including servers, software, licenses and so on is operated and maintained by the cloud provider, and customers pay only for their actual use of resources.

Unlike the public cloud model, computing resources in a private cloud are used by a single enterprise or organization. All infrastructure is exposed via the Internet or a private network. Similar to public cloud, private cloud enables rapid deployment and high resource scalability, additionally offering the customer even greater control over their entire environment. In private cloud, IT infrastructure in managed by the customer's own IT team. Therefore, when choosing this option, you need to consider costs associated with traditional data centers, including spending on an internal IT team, management, and resource maintenance.

When you know about cloud solutions, the history of cloud development in Comarch, and cloud benefits, it's easier to understand delivery models for cloud services. Comarch Data Center customers enjoy access to three models: SaaS (software as a service), PaaS (platform as a service), and IaaS (infrastructure as a service).
Comarch works with customers worldwide. Based on a wealth of related experience, it is clear to us that you need a reliable IT framework in order to provide the highest quality implementations.
SaaS is a model where software running on virtual servers owned and managed by the service provider is shared with the customer, who uses the Internet to access resources, usually via a web browser or mobile app.
This allows the customer to minimize workload for their internal IT team. It's a convenient, simple, and effective option for companies which prioritize speed and agility.
This model provides the customer with a turnkey or near-turnkey operating environment. It's similar to SaaS, except that the platform enables the customer to develop custom software, while in SaaS applications are only shared via the Internet.
Complete with a pre-configured platform, the customer receives a bundle of relevant IT management solutions. They include operating systems, databases, and development frameworks. This enables developers to focus on writing code while all supporting tasks are handled automatically.
This is a cloud model where the customer is provided with complete IT infrastructure of virtualized hardware including servers, storage, and network. Customers deploy their own software and applications, which run within this infrastructure.
IaaS enables you to benefit from flexible and scalable computing resources. By opting for this model, companies avoid spending money and time building their own in-house infrastructures.
Unlike SaaS and PaaS, in infrastructures as a service the customer handles management for applications, operating systems, and middleware. The infrastructure provider is responsible only for hard drives, servers, network maintenance, and storage.
