A manufacturing company is under strict contractual obligations to keep all design files inside its own facility. The IT director wants to modernize by offering developers an on-demand portal where they can spin up virtual servers and storage, but the environment must run only on hardware in the company's data center. Which cloud deployment model best meets these requirements?
A private cloud is built for a single organization and can be located on-premises or at a colocation site. Because the company owns and controls the underlying infrastructure, data never leaves the organization's legal boundary, satisfying contractual or regulatory mandates. Public clouds are shared, multitenant environments hosted by a third party, so sensitive data would reside off-site. A hybrid cloud joins private and public resources, which would still expose some workloads externally. A community cloud is shared by several organizations with similar requirements, not dedicated solely to one company. Therefore, a private cloud is the only model that keeps all resources and data under the sole control of the organization while still providing self-service and elasticity.
