Why the enterprises have suddenly started showing a keen interest in private cloud computing? The answer is simple - the future of IT lies in the private clouds. Private cloud computing offers the best of both worlds: safety and innovation. With private clouds, the IT providers can make elementary changes internally in how their IT infrastructure is deployed and run to get the benefits of cloud computing. Private clouds represent a paradigm shift in how services are delivered and paid for. With today’s economic uncertainty, private clouds services let you take advantage of the concept (and reap the benefits) while maintaining control of your own resources.

Here are few key reasons for the end-users to build a cost-effective private cloud for their internal IT infrastructure:

 Reduced CAPEX: With private cloud computing, you don’t need to own the infrastructure. You just hire it for a certain monthly fee thus eliminating any capital expenditure, while benefiting from economies of scale. The pricing ‘Pay-as-you-go’ model can benefit customers looking to bring specific application expertise in-house without committing to a large upfront investment. You pay only for the computing capacity you actually use – without buying new hardware in peak demand hours. This saves you lots of capital expenditure and empowers you to buy, deploy and run software without IT involvement. You gain on-demand access to enterprise-class infrastructure that is flexible enough to offer unmatched compatibility with your own internal IT platforms – all this at a monthly fixed fee.

 Scalability Edge: By leveraging private cloud computing services, you're getting more flexibility and unprecedented control in allocating resources dynamically. Essentially, you'll be drawing from a centralized, shared pool of server, networking and storage resources - quickly provisioning new resources or de-provisioning them, and you can quickly respond if there is an application request for more storage in a more flexible, highly dynamic, highly virtualized environment. You access a pool of resources that you can split up at a moment's notice or power up and down as your needs change.

 Greater choice: The private cloud gives you something you always desire – Choices. Typically, private clouds are implemented in the enterprise’s data center and managed by internal resources. Now, you can exercise greater choices of how you want to run your applications and what you can apply from a service-level agreement standpoint to those applications. This will not just reduce your operational costs but also automate mundane routine tasks and improve business/IT alignment.

 Save Energy: Private cloud promotes ‘Green IT’. With private clouds, you can reduce power consumption, cooling and space usage and sustain the environment friendly IT. This helps you in saving lots of energy and allows you to work amid green IT environment.

 Responsive IT: Virtual infrastructure allows IT to respond quickly. Private cloud computing overcome all challenges like – slow IT, unresponsive IT and paperwork-ridden IT. You can easily test a new application in the private cloud to decide whether it fit your current needs. Earlier, you would have had to turn down the request because it had no room on the servers. The private cloud allows your IT infrastructure to respond quickly to automated policies.
