Your own secure storage system, instead of renting space on someone else's. Full control of your data, your access rules and your costs.
Google Drive and Dropbox are convenient, and for plenty of businesses they are perfectly adequate. But your files sit on someone else's servers, under someone else's terms of service, with storage costs that climb as you grow.
A private cloud is the alternative: your own secure storage system, holding your own data, with access controlled by you. For businesses handling client records, contracts, photographs or anything covered by a confidentiality obligation, that distinction matters.
A private cloud is not automatically the right answer. It involves an upfront setup rather than a small monthly fee, and it needs someone to keep it maintained. If you are a sole trader with a few gigabytes of documents, a consumer plan is probably cheaper and simpler, and we will tell you so.
Where it pays off is when storage costs have become significant, when you have a genuine confidentiality requirement, or when you want your data to remain under your control rather than subject to a provider's changing terms.
Private cloud setups are quoted individually, because the right configuration depends on how much data you hold, how many people need access and what your privacy obligations are. Email us with a rough description of your situation and we will come back with an honest recommendation — including telling you if you would be better off staying where you are.

It is your own secure file storage system, holding your own data, with access controlled by you — rather than storing your files on a third-party service such as Google Drive or Dropbox.
It gives you control, which is different from being automatically more secure. Your data is not subject to a third party's terms of service, and access is governed by rules you set. Security still depends on the system being configured and maintained properly, which is part of what we set up.
Setups are quoted individually because the right configuration depends on your data volume, number of users and privacy requirements. Email us with your situation for a quote.
Yes. It is accessible from anywhere on desktop and mobile, with user accounts and permissions so staff only see what they need to.
Migration from your current storage is part of the setup discussion. We will talk through how much data you have and how the transition would work before you commit to anything.
Not always, and we will say so. If you are a sole trader with a modest amount of data, a consumer plan is usually cheaper and simpler. It becomes worthwhile when storage costs are significant or you have a real confidentiality obligation.
