Private Cloud
-
- A private cloud is also known as an internal cloud or corporate cloud.
- Private cloud provides computing services to a private internal network (within the organization) and selected users instead of the general public.
- Private cloud provides a high level of security and privacy to data through firewalls and internal hosting. It also ensures that operational and sensitive data are not accessible to third-party providers.
- HP Data Centers, Microsoft, Electra-private cloud, and Ubuntu are examples of private cloud.
A private cloud is a single-tenant environment, meaning the organization using it (the tenant) does not share resources with other users. Those resources can be hosted and managed in a variety of ways. The private cloud might be based on resources and infrastructure already present in an organization’s on-premises data center or on a new, separate infrastructure, which is provided by a third-party organization. In some cases, the single-tenant environment is enabled solely using virtualization software. In any case, the private cloud and its resources are dedicated to a single user or tenant.
