Performance Meets Efficiency on Your Private Cloud
High-performance private cloud technology starts with Intel® processors, networking components, and solid-state drives.
Build, Scale, and Secure Your Private Cloud
Private cloud solutions enable a single-tenant cloud environment in which end users have fast access to essential IT resources. Private clouds offer the security controls, compliance capabilities, and continuity expected from a modern data center built on software-defined infrastructure. Teams can rapidly spin up infrastructure and pool resources with cloud advantages in the on-premises environment. For an extra layer of control, a virtual private cloud provides an isolated pool of computing resources for approved users. This gives you an extra layer of control for privacy and security purposes. Private cloud benefits include:
- Elasticity and scalability – Respond quickly to changing workload demands.
- Security controls – Provide access only to authenticated users and devices.
- Operational efficiencies – Deliver more computing power with less physical hardware.
- Self-service capabilities – Spin up a virtual machine in minutes.
- Multiuser service – Single-instance software supports multiple use cases.
- Dedicated, on-demand resources – Always-on resources provide on-demand data availability.
With Intel® architecture as the foundation for your private cloud, you can experience smooth transitions, ease migrations, and improve operational efficiency. Our data-centric portfolio builds on decades of application and OEM optimizations, designed help you unlock the full potential of the cloud.

Explore Private Cloud Strategy
A strong private cloud strategy empowers your business with more flexibility in where to place workloads. Your private cloud serves as a pivotal hub that allows you to decide whether to continue hosting an application on-premises or migrate to a public cloud service provider. This gives you the ability to decide what, when, and how to migrate with confidence.
What Is the Private Cloud?
A private cloud hosted in your data center or by a third-party provider gives you always-on availability and scalability, with a long-term cost advantage.
Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI)
HCI combines virtualized computing, storage, and networking into a single, scalable node that’s ideal for an agile private cloud.
Implementation Strategies
Private cloud falls into three broad categories based on the service required: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS).
