A private cloud is a cloud computing model that provides computing resources and applications to a single organization within a secure, dedicated environment. It offers the organization greater control and privacy than a public cloud. Benefits of a private cloud include higher security and privacy since only the organization can access the dedicated computing resources behind its firewall. It also provides more control over configuration and management of the cloud. Costs and energy are used more efficiently since resource availability can flexibly respond to business needs. Reliability is improved through virtualization of resources and hosting with a third party that provides physical security in data centers. A private cloud model meets regulatory compliance needs of industries like healthcare, finance and education.

What is a Private Cloud?
A private cloud is a specific model of cloud
computing that involves a distinct and secure cloud
based environment in which only the individual
client can operate. As with other cloud models,
private clouds will provide computing power as a
service within a virtualized environment using an
underlying pool of physical computing resource e.g.
servers supporting the clients various applications.
However, under the private cloud model, the cloud
(the pool of resource) is only accessible by a single
organization providing that organization with
greater control and privacy..
Why Does My Company Need It?
The private cloud model is closer to the more
traditional model of individual local access
networks (LANs) used in the past by
enterprise but with the added advantages of
virtualization. The features and benefits of
private clouds therefore are:
Higher security and privacy;
• techniques such as dedicated pools of resources with
access restricted to connections made from behind the
organization's firewall, dedicated leased lines and/or on-
site internal hosting ensure that operations are kept from
prying eyes
More control;
• a private cloud is only accessible by a single organization,
that organization will have the ability to configure and
manage it online achieving a tailored network solution
Cost and energy efficiency;
• implementing a private cloud model improves the
allocation of resources within an organization by ensuring
that the availability of resources to individual departments/
business functions can directly and flexibly respond to the
growth needs of the business
Improved reliability;
• while resources (servers, networks etc.) hosted internally,
the creation of virtualized operating become more resilient
to individual failures across the physical infrastructure,
when the cloud is hosted with a third party, the
organization benefits from the physical security afforded
to infrastructure hosted within data centers
Regulatory Compliance:
• by it's very design, a Private Cloud is becoming choice in
Healthcare, Finance, and Education in response to
HIPAA, HITECH, FINRA, SEC and more
