Private Cloud

Many organizations are adopting the principles of cloud computing to build out their own private clouds. For many companies, the next logical progression is to extend their SOA and shared service initiatives into a private cloud. This allows them to break down organizational silos, shared enterprise assets more effectively, allow processes to run across all parts of an organization - be that people or systems and offer a far, cost effective model that allows business units to consume enterprise IT.

There are five key attributes for private clouds:

• Offering and maximizing existing resources (infrastructure and applications) as a service
• Business and technology scalability and flexibility to meet internal and external customer demands
• Effectively sharing enterprise resources and assets among a large number of users
• Metering, measurement and charging according to consumption of a service
• Accessing private cloud resources via internet protocols and technologies

There are two key audiences building private cloud - enterprises that are building and running their own private clouds and service providers who are offering private cloud services for their customers.
