Study Notes

Performance

The performance of a cloud delivery model relies heavily on network management and available resources.
Internal network management allows for better performance control, especially in environments with a limited number of resources.

Security and Data Privacy

Private clouds experience fewer security and data privacy issues compared to other service models.
Data is managed solely by the organization, reducing the risk of external data leaks.
The risk of security breaches is lower due to restricted access within the organization; however, internal misuse of privileges can still pose risks.

Location

Data location is not a concern in private clouds, as data is stored internally, typically on-premise.
If an organization spans multiple locations, cloud resources may be distributed, requiring access over the Internet, possibly through a VPN.

Cloud Management

Cloud management encompasses tasks like resource scheduling, provisioning, and overall management.
Effective management is influenced by the number of users, network size, and available resources, which are typically smaller in a private cloud.

Multitenancy

Private clouds utilize a multitenant architecture, allowing multiple tenants to share physical or software resources.
The risk of unauthorized data access is minimized, as all interactions occur within the organization, reducing concerns over data spills to external parties.

Maintenance

The organization deploying the private cloud is responsible for its maintenance, including replacing defective components like drives and processors.
The smaller number of resources in a private cloud makes maintenance tasks more manageable and efficient.
