Clouds, clouds, clouds. When you think of a "cloud," do you think of public clouds? You wouldn't be alone—many organisations think "heading for the clouds" means adopting a public cloud, but that same agility and flexibility can be harnessed in your very own datacentre with a robust private cloud.

And understandably, businesses have questions around what private cloud is exactly and more importantly, how to adopt it themselves. We've compiled 20 of the most-asked private cloud questions we've received and answered them here. Find answers to inquiries like:
