CASE STUDY:
PRIVATE CLOUD MIGRATION
Businesses that rely on traditional on-premise infrastructure often face challenges like hardware failures, power outages, and limited scalability.
For over 10 years, The AME Group has managed a high availability private cloud. Offering a resilient, secure, and flexible solution that can transform how you do business.
Hosting your business network in a high availability private cloud isn’t just a tech upgrade, it’s a strategic investment in resilience, security, and growth. Whether you’re navigating compliance requirements, supporting a remote workforce, or simply seeking peace of mind, the private cloud offers a future-ready foundation for your business.
High availability private cloud environments are engineered for resilience. With redundant internet lines, automatic firewall failover, conditioned power with backup generators, and climate-controlled Tier 3 data centers, your business network is protected against disruptions that would cripple on-premise systems. These systems are designed to operate continuously—even during outages—ensuring your team stays productive and your customers stay connected.
Security is a cornerstone of private cloud architecture. Features like threat intelligence, zero-day threat monitoring, intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS), and endpoint detection and response (EDR) are standard. These capabilities are managed by dedicated security teams and supported by SOC 2-audited data centers, helping businesses meet regulatory compliance requirements with confidence.
Unlike traditional hardware refresh cycles, private cloud environments offer resource scalability on demand. Whether you’re expanding your workforce, launching new services, or adapting to seasonal demand, your infrastructure can grow with you—without the capital expense. This flexibility is especially valuable for businesses planning office moves, downsizing, or embracing hybrid work models.
With secure VPN access and application-level multi-factor authentication (MFA), employees can connect to your network from anywhere without compromising security. This makes the private cloud an ideal solution for supporting remote and distributed teams, enhancing productivity while maintaining centralized control.
Our high availability private cloud solution comes with 24/7 monitoring and support from experienced engineers who proactively resolve issues before they impact your operations. From configuration and migration to ongoing maintenance, your IT environment is managed by professionals who understand your business needs.
By shifting from capital expenditure (CapEx) to operational expenditure (OpEx), businesses can better manage their IT budgets. Private cloud hosting eliminates the need for costly hardware purchases and reduces the burden on internal IT teams, freeing up resources for strategic initiatives.

Have older On-Premise application(s)?
| Feature | High Availability Private Cloud | Public Cloud (AWS, Azure) |
|---|---|---|
| Control & Customization | Full control over infrastructure, configurations, and security policies. Ideal for businesses with strict compliance or performance needs. | Limited control: infrastructure is shared across tenants. Customization is constrained by provider policies. |
| Security & Compliance | Single-tenant environment with advanced threat detection, endpoint protection, and compliance-ready architecture. | Strong security features, but multi-tenant by design. Compliance depends on shared responsibility and proper configuration. |
| Performance & Uptime | Built-in redundancy (power, internet, hardware), low-latency access, and white-glove support ensure high availability. | High availability zones exist, but performance can vary based on region and shared resource contention. |
| Data Location Transparency | You know exactly where your data resides—often locally or regionally. | Data may be stored across global regions, sometimes without precise visibility. |
| Cost Predictability | Fixed monthly pricing with no surprise overages. Ideal for budgeting and long-term planning. | Pay-as-you-go model can lead to unpredictable costs, especially with over-provisioning or underutilized resources. |
| Support & Responsiveness | Direct access to local engineers and fast response times. Personalized service. | Support tiers vary; response times can be slower and less personalized. |
| Scalability | Scalable within the bounds of the private infrastructure. Ideal for steady, predictable growth. | Near-infinite scalability. Best for highly dynamic workloads or global applications. |
| AI & Innovation | May integrate with AI tools, but typically not as extensive as public cloud offerings. | Leading edge in AI/ML services (e.g., Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock), ideal for innovation-driven workloads. |
Choose Private Cloud if your business prioritizes data sovereignty, predictable costs, high-touch support, and enhanced security. This is especially relevant for regulated industries, hybrid workforces, or businesses with legacy systems.
Choose Public Cloud if you need global reach, elastic scalability, or access to cutting-edge AI and analytics services. It’s ideal for startups, SaaS platforms, or rapidly scaling enterprises.
