Private Cloud

A private cloud owned, managed and used by the organisation for which it was created. It is a proprietary network or data centre provided to a restricted number of users (usually across an entire organisation) behind a firewall, which allows those accessing it to share data, applications and other resources. Establishing a private cloud usually involves the development, deployment and provision of software, by the cloud provider, to meet the requirements of the end-user.
