What is Private Cloud, and is it Right for You?
In the era of cloud computing, just about everyone has heard of the terms “private cloud” and “public cloud”. Chances are, you are using one or both of them in your everyday life—but how much do you really know about them? If you had the chance, could you build a private cloud for yourself or your organization? GIGABYTE Technology, an industry leader in server solutions used by global cloud service providers, is pleased to present our latest Tech Guide. We will examine the difference between private and public clouds, introduce the private cloud’s advantages and limitations, and then introduce GIGABYTE products that may help you build and operate a private cloud of your own.

Review GIGABYTE S252-ZC0 Server
This is a storage server with a side-mounted storage configuration that can support up to 24x 3.5-inch storage bays in a 2U chassis, with 12 bays on each side. It’s like a magic act! The drive cages are only accessible when you pull the server out of the enclosure. With support from dual AMDs 3rd generation 7003 series EPYC Milan processors, this system can provide up to 64x cores per socket for up to 128 physical cores and 256 virtual threads. As a storage server, it is designed for Software Defined Storage (SDS), Big Data, use as a…
