What is a cloud platform?

Private cloud platform is a tool that allows a company to remotely manage processes: automate routine, organize a workspace for employees, and protect data from destruction and leaks. Hostkey is a private cloud provider offering convenient solutions for your business at great prices.

A cloud platform is a network of servers on which a company hosts its IT infrastructure. Using private cloud hosting provides users around the world with access to high-performance resources for creating servers and digital applications.

With the help of private cloud solutions, businesses organize their work. Cloud services allow you to store data, create virtual workplaces, automate the management of container applications, and distribute incoming traffic between servers.

The cloud network is built from data centers. This is a repository in which information is collected and processed. Data centers can be geographically remote from each other and connected over a long distance via a network. They are served by private cloud hosting providers. Users connect to the cloud infrastructure via the Internet, being able to work with their tools.

Private cloud hosting services are useful for everyone — both startups and large companies. Thanks to cloud solutions, many survived the lockdown, thanks, for example, to the organization of remote workplaces.

Cloud services also help:

• automate business processes using CRM and other tools;
• establish internal and external communications: create a secure and fast communication channel between company employees;
• set up reporting;
• speed up accounting: applications help to collect important data for the company — for example, the number of sales, user reviews — from various sources and present them in the form of convenient diagrams and tables;
• protect data.

Cloud services allow you to focus on business processes, outsourcing the solution of technical problems and problems to external specialists for an adequate price.

What type of virtualization are we using?

By providing private cloud solutions, we use hardware virtualization. With hardware virtualization, a regular operating system is installed on the host server and virtual machines are created that are completely isolated from each other, each of which has its own full-fledged OS and uses its kernel.

The advantage of hardware virtualization is the complete sharing of server resources. One virtual machine cannot influence the speed of others and reduce the amount of resources allocated to them. With minimal rackspace, stable operation of several projects at once is ensured.
