However, an increasing number are starting to use their own cloud networks. Personal cloud networks can be developed to suit the specific needs of your business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Private cloud networks are often used with public cloud solutions. <a href=\"https:\/\/resources.flexera.com\/web\/pdf\/report-cm-state-of-the-cloud-2021.pdf?elqTrackId=28d62429a6ec40d0bb8e92159e68d63a&amp;elqaid=6545&amp;elqat=2\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">82%<\/a> of enterprises currently use a <strong>multi-cloud model<\/strong>, where public cloud systems such as Amazon Web Services are used alongside a private cloud network.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This shows that developing your own cloud network doesn\u2019t mean that you have to lose access to other effective cloud-based processes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, building your own cloud network means that you can enjoy its benefits (such as making resources available from anywhere and automatic back-up and integration) while <strong>protecting sensitive information<\/strong> and monitoring access.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having your own cloud network is particularly important in certain industries. <strong>Regulatory requirements often demand cloud-based information<\/strong> to be protected in industries such as health and finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there are also benefits to be felt in all industries. After all, every company wants their data to be well protected and their networks to be secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many developers lack the understanding of the risk environment which ends up resulting in flaws. Building a <a href=\"https:\/\/linuxsecurity.com\/features\/how-to-spend-less-time-on-web-and-api-security\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">secure architecture to support your development<\/a> is the primary challenge. Encouraging people to embrace a security culture, and providing them with the tools can help ensure effective and effortless security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how can you build a private cloud network that is perfectly suited to the requirements of your enterprise? This step-by-step guide will help you to build your own cloud network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-strategize-your-cloud-network\">Strategize your cloud network<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like all major IT developments undertaken by your enterprise, before you begin to build your own cloud network, you should create a plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will need to assess your available hardware resources and compare their capabilities with the intended outcomes of your virtual network. Without this, <strong>you will encounter costly and time-consuming bottleneck issues<\/strong> further down the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do this, you need to have a clear idea of why you are developing a cloud network. The cloud is versatile and can be used for a range of functions, from data storage to hosting complex software. Therefore, have a defined understanding of what functions you are developing the network to perform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/wO2UC-qMbazii_-jP0DQi4KqnfWK-gymJ7N047DsxHv-CDejthWh5T-nFVG9RzNiHCqUqVxPrAlvabJoBXaj2uTdGXdbRBfBJfdITYee56W6y1hVKnfU-RhHyD2L3DJmnjAtbELfqITTE1Zu30xziCAccJLCKEdQ-7wycoZU10nFgCeWsit3G0SDjg\" width=\"500\" height=\"337\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many enterprises make the mistake of shaping their networks around their end-product alone. This is often a misallocation of resources\u2014<strong>the best businesses use personal cloud networks for certain services that are part of their operation<\/strong>, rather than the whole enterprise. You may want to consider only storing sensitive data on your private network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have a clear picture of what functions you want the network to perform, you will be able to plan, research software and services, and allocate development resources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the network is being developed by a team of IT specialists, consider starting regular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dialpad.com\/blog\/stand-up-meeting\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">standup<\/a> meetings during this planning phase in order to ensure that the overarching development strategy is being worked to at all points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also important to forecast demand in this planning stage. By using existing workflow and resource analytics alongside your network strategy, you will be able to predict the expected levels of demand for access on your network. This allows you to choose a suitable capacity level as you begin development.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, as one of the central benefits of using a private cloud network is security, you should consider the <a href=\"https:\/\/vmblog.com\/archive\/2021\/06\/01\/5-cloud-security-mistakes-that-businesses-should-avoid.aspx#.YLY2CDMpBow\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">common mistakes of cloud cybersecurity<\/a> and integrate good security principles (such as encryption and monitored access) into your strategy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Developing your cloud network\u2014a step-by-step guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you have a clear and all-encompassing strategy, it\u2019s time for you to begin the actual process of developing the private cloud network.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1 &#8211; Identify a suitable network host<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While enterprises wanting extreme levels of cybersecurity may want to develop and host their cloud network entirely in-house, most businesses will work with existing hosting infrastructure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Factors such as cost, capacity, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/devops\/cloud\/security-measures-choosing-cloud-vendor\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">security measures<\/a> should all come into consideration when thinking about how to host your network.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/U_LDd_KMU3G62WCYvqI6_C_quv4dyYeFtimtw507kEbFd1sHf_W3mXYsl5W8m5V7Lh7a9Nr2GCYLA6zceB25xlSI2mN_jPN8LYEu7p0N7GvLVTLoygAyVDQUNCtTDPleROZdJqyklCllRwNMdm2Ud8BGhilIVRyp8WgQsWIsqp4o-OKEqc594hRvTQ\" width=\"624\" height=\"327\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you wish to have a network that performs at the cutting edge of integration and works in a streamlined infrastructure with other cloud networks, you should look for hosting solutions that use a hyperconverged infrastructure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This uses a scalable data stack as a platform for your network, meaning that the cloud network you are developing right now can be connected or adjusted in the future to accommodate new functions or data types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as this, hosting on a hyperconverged infrastructure suits enterprises looking for a hybrid cloud solution. This is because it can easily be connected to existing public cloud services.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, for instance, if you use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dialpad.com\/guides\/ccaas\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">contact center as a service (CCaaS) solution<\/a> which is based in a public cloud, the host that you choose can allow you to connect your private network to parts of this cloud-based service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing the right network host can really help to exploit the many benefits of using a private network, so ensure that you compare and contrast the many different available services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2 &#8211; Set up your servers&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have chosen how you want to host your servers, you will need to set them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How many servers you need will depend on your network\u2019s intended functions and capacity. Generally, one server is needed for every storage node, while at least one server should be set up and loaded with storage controller resources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, you will need to load your servers with the storage pool. This establishes your network\u2019s <strong>storage capacity<\/strong> but also divides it between the servers. This means that you can start to create specific folders in order to tailor your network to a defined workflow or restrict access to certain parts of the stored information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, if you are building a network to run <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/blog\/10-essential-inventory-management-software-features-every-shopify-merchant-needs\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">inventory management functions<\/a>, you could begin to divide your storage pool between servers that store information on certain sections of your stock.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3 &#8211; Install management software&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Server management software will allow you to suddenly visualize the network that you are building. Some hosted networks provide network-building services\u2014in these cases, the software will be provided along with any necessary hardware. If you are developing your network independently, you will need to ensure that your management software, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strongdm.com\/iam\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">identity and access management<\/a> software, matches the stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have installed server management software, you can start to differentiate between servers and establish folders for stored information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visualizing your servers also means that you can start to integrate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/devops\/cloud\/centralized-configuration-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">cloud security solutions<\/a> into your cloud network. It is important that your network is protected and optimized against cyber threats before you load your servers with any potentially sensitive data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also set up user applications within the network, making it perfectly suited to its intended function. One example of this is including a communication application that can respond to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dialpad.com\/glossary\/softphone\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">softphone number<\/a> that is stored on your network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also a good idea to integrate a backup solution into your network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4 &#8211; Establish access&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you have set up the basic foundations of your network, you should configure client access. Add users according to who needs to access the data on the network and assign admin privileges to the users who will manage your network once it is up and running.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also important to build security protocols and authentication methods when assigning access privileges in order to protect your network from hackers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 &#8211; Begin migration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, you are ready to move your data onto your private network. Consider using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.databricks.com\/product\/machine-learning\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">data machine learning<\/a> to assess and adjust your data for the move to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many enterprises use their networks for a wider range of functions than solely data storage. If you are moving a variety of services and applications to the cloud, migration will be a slow and steady process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, if you work with a large team of network users, <strong>some users may need training before they can make the most out of your new private network<\/strong>. Good strategies for migrating into a cloud network often include analytics to identify areas to improve or strengthen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that most enterprises use a hybrid cloud system. This means that all your data or services don\u2019t have to be migrated, and you can continue to use a public cloud network when it is suitable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Cloud-Migration-1024x576.png\" alt=\"cloud migration\" class=\"wp-image-18055\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Cloud-Migration-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Cloud-Migration-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Cloud-Migration-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Cloud-Migration-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Cloud-Migration-896x504.png 896w, https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Cloud-Migration-400x225.png 400w, https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Cloud-Migration.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Migrating to a private cloud server should be done with a strategy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your own cloud network\u2014the future&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The building of private cloud networks is becoming an increasingly valuable strategy for enterprises across the globe.
