Internal or Private Clouds have been used by a few vendors to describe certain forms of external hosting services or what has been labeled Managed Services. The concept of managed services with fee based equipment has been available in the marketplace for over 12 years and in many cases utilized as a financial vehicle for OpEx vs. CapEx. Therefore, analysts have decided to use the phrase "internal cloud" to describe cloud networks that exist entirely within a customer's own IT infrastructure.
Internal clouds have several key elements that go beyond the pool of virtualized computing resources to make room for more applications. Internal clouds are multi-tenant, sharing resources across business units and divisions within a company that may not share computing equipment today primarily based on company vision, application, network and process.
InterVision can architect and implement a cloud-based infrastructure for a customer to own and operate a private enterprise cloud, or offer partner based solutions as a fee based delivery service. Our team can either build it with equipment, applications that the customer will own and deliver or offer an out sourced model.
