Bogomil Balkansky of VMware explains why customers are choosing private cloud. They get the same benefits as public cloud—easy access, pay-as-you-go pricing, guaranteed service levels—but keep their data in their own data center.

We're here with Bogomil Balansky of VMware, and he's going to talk to us about the benefits of an internal cloud versus an external cloud.
We find this notion of the internal or the private cloud gaining increasing acceptance and resonance within our customer base. And the traction of private cloud is really about being able to apply the benefits of cloud computing, such as easy getting in and out, easy access through standardized protocols, pay as you go model, so low upfront investment, you don't need to make huge investments to get in, or after that, get out, guaranteed service levels, et cetera. And being able to apply all of these benefits of cloud computing to your internal infrastructure and make your internal data center, or instead of your internal data centers, act with the efficiency, scalability, elasticity and agility of the external palette.
