What is a Private Cloud?

A private dedicated cloud is an isolated cloud infrastructure provisioned solely for one organization. It allows a business to enjoy the benefits of cloud computing while exercising control over its data, security, and compliance.  

Private clouds do not share infrastructure, resources, or data with any other organization. Sharing can provide less control of security configurations, resource provisioning, and system design. Private clouds can be hosted within an organization's premises, in a third-party data center, or even at the hands of a cloud service provider.
