Cloud - Technology
Private cloud
Cloud-style computing dedicated to a single organisation
What's it for?
Gives one organisation cloud-style computing with more control over the underlying environment.
For example…
A bank runs sensitive workloads on a private cloud that only its organisation can use
A bank runs cloud-style virtual machines and self-service infrastructure on dedicated hardware reserved for the bank, creating a private cloud
Think of it like…
Company generator and wiring that serve only your building, not the whole street
