Council confuses "private cloud" with renting a cage in someone else's datacenter. Which clarification is correct?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A cage with your servers is still mostly old-school hosting. Private cloud implies dedicated cloud-style services for one org—pooling, self-service, the works—not just a different street address for the same unmanaged metal.
Full Explanation
Private cloud refers to cloud computing capabilities dedicated to a single organization, which may be on-premises or exclusively hosted. Simple colocation—renting space, power, and cooling for customer-managed hardware—does not by itself equal private cloud. Fundamentals distinguish dedicated cloud capability from bare facility rental.
