Private Clouds: Secure Managed Services

The continuously evolving state of information technology and network infrastructure has created a thriving market for Managed Services (MS). More and more public sector and private companies operate in mixed-mode with internally deployed but externally hosted IT applications and resources. As a result, Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are assuming operational IT responsibility for the enterprise while the customer maintains management oversight. While this MS business model has many advantages, information security remains an inherent weakness. This has lead to the adoption of Private Clouds.
