What is a private cloud?

A private cloud delivers many of the same benefits of a public cloud—speed, scalability, and cost savings. But instead of serving multiple organizations like a public cloud, a private cloud is dedicated to a single organization.

1. What’s the difference: private cloud vs. public cloud?

Both private and public clouds offer improved agility, scalability, and efficiency. Both can use virtualization on-premises and remotely. The only difference is whether the resources are dedicated to one organization or shared with other customers. In other words, the private/public cloud divide is defined by privacy.

3. What’s the difference between on-premises vs. off-premises private clouds?

Many cloud providers sell off-premises private clouds—dedicated servers that don’t share resources with other customers. While there are advantages to outsourcing the management of your data storage infrastructure, hosting your own private cloud internally will give you the greatest control and performance possible over your storage resources.
