What are Private Clouds?
The term “Private Cloud” sits outside the common definition of Cloud Computing, since Cloud generally refers to the renting of computing resource from a third party presented via the internet. The term “Private Cloud” is usually used to describe a virtualisation infrastructure that is dedicated to one client; this “Private Cloud” may be hosted internally or externally and owned/operated by the business directly or by a service provider (such as virtualDCS). The term is heavily marketed by virtualisation software vendors who are keen to wrap the entire infrastructure piece under the Cloud banner.

What are the benefits of Private Cloud?
- Pooling of resources across multiple applications and departments to create a more cost effective IT infrastructure model.
- Isolation from other companies providing potential security compliance and performance benefits (compared to Public Cloud solutions).
- Flexibility to create isolated environments within the one physical infrastructure resulting in cost savings (e.g. production and development).
