Private Cloud Computing

Introduction
It is the standalone which is managed by single org/3rd party/hosted internally and externally. It is one of the deployment model of cloud computing. A form of cloud computing where service access is limited or the customer has some control/ownership of the service implementation. A private cloud remains for the exclusive use of one organization-Oracle white paper

 It is administered directly by the company (which manages its infrastructure alone) or pooled (a trusted provider supports some of the outsourced services). Dedicated clouds are a collection of virtualized dedicated servers and SAN storage servers, housed within a closed private network of firewalling and switches for enhanced security. These managed dedicated clouds eliminate the headaches and personnel associated with running a data centre, managing hypervisors, supporting virtualization, provisioning and maintaining virtual servers. With your exclusive dedicated cloud all computing resources can be managed from a single point and assigned to applications or services as needed. You can run multiple operating systems on the same physical server, all at the same time or clone your existing virtual machine, for easy and quick setup

Working

kind of Private Cloud where cloud functionality is within an enterprise itself. Departmental Cloud : This is a kind of Private Cloud that is located within a company and only within a department. Google Provided VirtualBox based departmental cloud computing Platform named Megha. Megha means Cloud in Sanskrit and its derivative languages. Megha was initiated by IIT Delhi. Enterprise Cloud :This kind of Private Clouds function is quite obvious from the name : it is a Private Cloud shared by different users from different enterprises.

 Greater control of security, compliance and quality of service Private clouds enable IT to maintain control of security (data loss, privacy), compliance (data handling policies, data retention, audit, regulations governing data location), and quality of service (since private clouds can optimize networks in ways that public clouds do not allow). Easier integration Applications running in private clouds are easier to integrate with other in-house applications, such as identity management systems. Lower total costs Private clouds may be cheaper over the long term c to public clouds, since it is essentially owning versus renting. According to several analyses, the breakeven period is between two and three years. Capital expense and operating expense
