What is private cloud, really?

Although many enterprises choose private cloud for their data and applications, there is still some confusion surrounding its true definition and benefits. And much of that confusion stems from misidentification.
Some enterprises believe they are using a private cloud when, in fact, they are using virtualization. A private cloud is a cloud infrastructure protected by a firewall that limits usage to a single enterprise. In addition to their exclusivity, private clouds can be managed both on-premises and off. Private clouds often use virtualization for on-premises environments.
Understanding private cloud allows enterprises to take full advantage of its benefits -- automation, agility, control, cost-efficiency and more. With private cloud, enterprises control resources and manage costs.
