The most commonly known clouds are the public clouds, also known as shared clouds, where many users share hardware and virtualized resources. In contrast, a private cloud, sometimes called an enterprise cloud, is a dedicated hardware environment managed with a virtualization application, allowing you to create and manage multiple virtual services within a set of physical servers. Because it's a dedicated environment, you – and only you – are in this services cloud.

 

Private clouds are also different in that they offer a level of security and reliability not possible in public, shared or private virtual services. In the private cloud, each customer is physically separated on its own dedicated hardware.
