Private Cloud
Let’s build the ideal cloud stack to cost-effectively meet the needs of your employees, customers, and partners.
Overview
Not all workloads can (or should) run in the public cloud.
If you have strict compliance or security requirements, a Private Cloud from Deft is your best bet for innovating like a startup and delivering like an enterprise. Deft offers the most flexible and intelligent single-tenant cloud service available, with full management of:
- Log/event review and issue mitigation
- Maintenance of backups and snapshots/ensuring viability
- Applying operating system and application patches and service packs
- Account creation and maintenance
- Managing disk space, including provisioning new disks
- Volume restores
- Ongoing cost optimization
“Talk to someone like Deft and say, ‘We’re currently spending a million dollars a year on AWS, could we spend $200 grand instead?’ Before you go laying off people, make sure your servers are straight. Don’t go fiddling away all that payroll on a bunch of rental servers.”
–David Heinemeier Hansson

Managing Costs
Worried about the cloud and its runaway costs?
As costs go up and budgets need tightening, cloud deployments are being scrutinized — and public cloud repatriation is happening in force.
Organizations that once relied on major public clouds to test and grow found that the costs far exceeded their expectations.
A private cloud from Deft allows you to realize the cost-savings of owning — not renting — your infrastructure, without needing people on-site or sacrificing the quality of your services.

“We had to migrate over 225 Windows and Linux servers and convert 30 discrete site-to-site VPN connections in under six months. Making it even more complex, the effort spanned multiple teams at three separate companies, and there was a reliance on individual customer resources for site-to-site VPN cutovers. We definitely could not have done this without Deft.”
