private cloud
A private cloud is a secure computing environment dedicated to a single organization. It allows the organization to access and manage their data, applications, and services over the internet or a private network, similar to using public cloud services like AWS or Azure. Unlike public clouds, which serve multiple companies, private clouds are customized for the organization's specific needs, providing greater control, security, and privacy. They can be hosted internally within the company’s data center or externally by a service provider, offering flexibility and efficient resource management tailored to the organization’s requirements.
