Definition

Cloud infrastructure dedicated exclusively to one organization, offering more control and security. Like owning your own private building instead of renting shared space.

Real-World Example

A hospital runs its own private cloud data center to maintain complete control over sensitive patient records and meet strict healthcare regulations.

Cloud Provider Equivalencies

These offerings bring a cloud provider’s hardware and managed services into a customer-controlled environment (on-premises or dedicated), enabling private-cloud-like deployment with consistent tooling and governance.
