A private cloud is a cloud
infrastructure operated/established solely for a single organization or specific
group and limits access to just that group.A private cloud is
a proprietary network or a data center that provides hosted services to a
limited number of people/to an organization.
It consists of applications or
virtual machines in a company’s own set of hosts.In this form, the
cloud is deployed with in a corporate firewall and runs on IT infrastructure. It is deployed on a private network.When
a service provider uses public cloud resources to create their private cloud,
the result is called a virtual private cloud.This form provides more benefits
to the corporate by capitalizing on the Data Security and Corporate Governance
and thereby the administrators can have more control over the operating
environment.
Undertaking a private
cloud project requires a significant level and degree of engagement to understand
the business environment, and to establish the cloud properly it is
required that the organization may have to
re-evaluate decisions about existing resources.
The disadvantage of private
cloud is that it is more expensive compared to the public cloud since the
operating and bandwidth costs are to be maintained by the organization.But a
big advantage of this cloud is that it
is more secure than the public cloud.If
this type of cloud is established properly then, it can have a positive impact
on business.
The benefits offered by Private Cloud is
- Utility computing
- More control over operating environment
- Shared hardware costs
- More secure than public cloud
- Ability to recover from failure
- Ability to scale up or down depending upon demand
