A private cloud server is designed by segregating a main physical server into multiple virtual servers. This helps the hosting service providers in apportioning common resources required by each of these virtual servers according to their customer requirements and thus customizing them for different end user needs. The users of a private cloud server are able to perform custom independent operations with their private cloud server owing to the freedom they have in choosing their own operating systems and applications. Mostly these resources used by private cloud server are completely saturated from other servers on the platform and hence offer greater choice flexibility in customization, to manage and restructure their resources when compared to a dedicated server.
