Case Study: A Private Cloud for an 8-Person Team
The team’s pain points were third-party custody of files, slow large uploads, and per-seat pricing that scaled linearly.
Why leave public cloud storage
- Solution: Nextcloud with OnlyOffice on dual-disk RAID1, with daily incremental backup to an external drive;
- Cost: hardware was a one-time spend roughly equal to two years of subscription, with zero monthly fees after;
- Experience: large file transfers hit gigabit line rate on LAN, with external access through a reverse proxy plus two-factor auth.
The hidden cost of private cloud is maintenance time — configure automated backups and monitoring to minimize human intervention.
