To take full advantage of the value of implementing private cloud, it's important to understand the key differences between a dedicated ASP (Application Service Provider)-hosted model and the private cloud approach.
With a dedicated ASP-hosted model there is a built in level of support that is necessary to ensure the insurer has the right hardware and software installed and that it is running and maintained.
There is a misnomer that moving to the private cloud means that the support and expertise from the technology partner will vanish. This is not the case. With private cloud, insurers use technology for maximum effectiveness by taking advantage of the inherent benefits of cloud computing, such as infrastructure on demand and high availability.
