What is a private cloud?

Private cloud is the implementation of cloud services on enterprise dedicated resources, regardless of whether these resources are local.

Private clouds provide additional control and customization methods for dedicated resources, and customers can enjoy many of the benefits of public cloud computing, including self-service, scalability, and strong flexibility.

Private clouds can implement two cloud service models: cloud infrastructure services (IaaS) and cloud platform services (PaaS). IaaS allows customers to use infrastructure resources (computing, network, and storage) to provide services; Paas does this by providing a complete application platform.

Whether it is for private cloud or public cloud deployment, the solution proposed by Microsoft? can implement both IaaS and PaaS services. This article will focus on Microsoft's solution for IaaS. Among them, Microsoft Hyper-V? Cloud is a collection of programs and plans that can help customers and partners accelerate the deployment of IaaS. We will give a brief overview here.
