Dedicated Cloud
Historically:
Very large customer –
economies of scale
Specific hardware
requirements
Stringent security
requirements
Benefits:
Dedicated architecture
ensures security isolation
Zero chance of ‘noisy
neighbour’ syndrome
Can be certified to specific
security accreditations
Caveats/Limitations:
Dedicated cloud typically doesn’t take advantage of economies of
scale
Limits scope for resiliency/can make architecting for resiliency
more expensive
Performance benefits that can be delivered by broader design of a
multi-tenanted platform aren’t present

Multi-tenanted Cloud
Ideal cloud candidate:
Customers looking to start
their journey to the cloud
Customers with a requirement
for a strong IaaS Platform
Benefits:
Broad design strategies =
economies of scale
Resiliency and performance
benefits at economic price point
not achievable by dedicated
Future proofed infrastructure –
take advantage of future
capabilities sooner
Caveats/Limitations:
Standardised hardware reduces scope to customise to customer
specific requirements
Cannot be used for VDI scenarios due to licensing issues
