F.A.Q

What is the difference between a Private Cloud and a Public Cloud?
  • A private cloud gives you dedicated hardware, storage, and networking resources managed exclusively for your business. A public cloud shares those resources among multiple users, which can affect performance, security, and cost predictability. With a private cloud, you get complete control, consistency, and isolation — ideal for critical workloads and compliance-driven environments.

Can my Private Cloud scale up?
  • Yes. You can easily expand compute, storage, and networking capacity as your needs grow. Additional Proxmox nodes or Ceph storage can be added without downtime, letting your infrastructure scale seamlessly.

Is the Private Cloud fully managed?
  • Absolutely. OneColo’s team handles hardware, updates, backups, monitoring, and security. You focus on your applications — we manage the infrastructure.

Do I still have administrative access?
  • Yes. You maintain full Proxmox access through the web GUI or API, allowing you to create, manage, and monitor virtual machines and containers as needed.

What kind of storage is used?
  • All private clouds are built with Ceph-backed storage for redundancy and speed. This ensures data durability and consistent performance across your cluster.

Where is my data hosted?
  • Your environment runs in our secure Tampa, Florida data center with physical access control, power redundancy, and 24/7 monitoring.
