Detailed explanation-1: -An external cloud is located at a service provider and charges are expensed. A private cloud is dedicated to an organization – it’s “single tenant” in that sense (but that’s a tricky nomenclature, because a private cloud may be used by many internal tenants within the organization)
Detailed explanation-2: -A private cloud is a solution that is hosted internally (on-premises) or externally (datacentre), on an infrastructure that is not shared between different users.
Detailed explanation-3: -A private cloud can be hosted either at an organization’s own data center, at a third party colocation facility, or via a private cloud provider who offers private cloud hosting services and may or may not also offer traditional public shared multi-tenant cloud infrastructure.
Detailed explanation-4: -A private cloud can be hosted on-premises or in the data center of a third party. As part of a privately hosted cloud, a third-party cloud provider maintains actual servers and all related components at an offsite location outside of the organization’s borders, creating an isolated landscape.
Detailed explanation-5: -Freedom to customize hardware and software in any way. Private cloud customers can customize servers in any way they want and can customize software as needed with add-ons or through custom development. Greater visibility into security and access control, because all workloads run behind the customers’ own firewall.
