Controlled environments
Workloads require dedicated infrastructure or defined data placement.
Cloud · Solution
Cloud operating patterns on infrastructure you control.
A private cloud combines controlled infrastructure with automation, resource pooling and service-management practices.
How it works
Concept model
- 01 · Pool Bring infrastructure resources together Compute · storage · network
- 02 · Automate Standardise approved services Template · policy · lifecycle
- 03 · Consume Provide governed capacity Request · provision · operate
A conceptual sequence used to explain the service—not a customer deployment.
Overview
What it is
A cloud operating model delivered on dedicated infrastructure, using resource pooling, automation and governed service delivery.
- 01
Infrastructure and workload assessment
- 02
Resource-pool and platform design
- 03
Automation and service templates
- 04
Governance, operations and lifecycle
Right fit
Who it is for
Internal platforms
Teams need a more consistent way to request and receive capacity.
Automation goals
Repeatable infrastructure services should replace manual build patterns.
Outcomes

Questions, answered directly
What buyers usually need to establish
What makes private infrastructure a private cloud?+
Resource pooling, automation, standard services, governance and an operating model distinguish a private cloud from a collection of virtualised servers.
Is private cloud a replacement for public cloud?+
Not necessarily. Workload, control, integration and operating requirements determine how private and public services should coexist.
