What is Public Cloud?
A public cloud is a pool of virtual resources—developed from hardware owned and managed by a third-party company—that is automatically provisioned and allocated among multiple clients through a self-service interface. It’s a straightforward way to scale out workloads that experience unexpected demand fluctuations.[1]
Top-of-mind concerns that public cloud providers should address for the physical infrastructure are:[2]
- Fast implementation to accommodate rapid growth – How will you streamline the process of designing, specifying, installing and managing the increasingly complex physical infrastructure necessary to optimize your data center?
- High-density server deployments that exceed available power and cooling supply – How will your team monitor and manage the available power and cooling for a given server or cabinet?
- Maximize revenue generation per square foot or kilowatt – How do you ensure that you maximize revenue (such as floor space and vertical space in the cabinet) in your facility?
- Ability to meet or exceed Service Level Agreements (SLAs) – How do physical infrastructure moves, adds and changes impact your ability to meet your SLAs?
