DefinitionPrivate cloud (プライベートクラウド) is a model in which a single, specific organization uses cloud technology exclusively.
ExplanationIt may be built in the company's own data center, or set up by renting part of a provider's facilities as a dedicated section. Since the facilities are not shared with other organizations, it is easier to configure them around the company's own security measures and business needs. In return, the effort and cost of building and managing it tend to fall on the company.
AnalogyA staff cafeteria only employees can enter. You do not share seats with outsiders and the company can set the menu, but the company also pays to run it.
