As a busy legal professional, it’s crucial to have accurate and reliable ways to access your files anywhere and anytime on various devices without sacrificing security. This can only be accomplished through web-based solutions; however, not all cloud solutions are created equal. Especially in the legal field you might want to choose between a public or a private cloud solution.

What does the public cloud look like?

Public clouds are the most common type of cloud technology used out there. This type of cloud is owned and operated by a third-party provider and delivered over the internet. It can be run very cost-efficiently by saving IT infrastructure maintenance costs. With this technology, all hardware, software, and other supporting infrastructure are owned and managed by the cloud provider. In addition, you share the same hardware, storage, and network devices with other organizations or cloud “tenants,” and you access services and manage your account using a web browser. Public cloud real-life examples can include web-based email, online office applications, storage, and testing and development environments.

What is a private cloud?

A private cloud consists of cloud computing resources used exclusively by one business or organization. This can be physically located at your organization’s on-site data center, or a third-party service provider can host it. Private clouds are often used by government agencies, financial institutions, any other mid-to large-size organizations with critical operations seeking security that they control to meet their standard.
