There are many public clouds for organizations, ranging from Amazon Web Services to Microsoft Azure. However, despite the many options, not all cloud platforms are built with Tribal Government needs in mind and can’t be customized to support their specific requirements. In this article, we’ll go over the best public cloud for Tribal Governments and share some of its benefits.
Public Cloud vs On-Premise Software vs Private Cloud
When searching for a cloud option for Tribal Governments, you'll have to choose between public, private, and on-premise clouds. A public cloud is one of the most cost-effective, scalable, and secure solutions. See how it compares to the others.
- Public Cloud: As the name hints, a public cloud's hardware, software, and licenses are managed by a third party. Users pay the cloud owners to get access and have limited control over the public cloud.
- On-Premise Cloud: Contrarily, on-premise software is installed on an organization's computers. Unlike the public cloud, on-premise software is accessible to office users, making it more secure and harder for hackers to access. On the downside, organizations spend more to install and maintain the software.
- Private Cloud: A private cloud is an on- or off-premise cloud dedicated to a single entity. The private cloud users control everything, including the hardware, software, and licenses. This means the owners incur the costs of management. On the upside, the private cloud is more scalable, customizable, and secure than the public cloud.
