I described the three most common things that were being described as private clouds:

• IT defending its turf: Shared services that were being re-labelled as private clouds (but without a self-service interface, or much automation at all)
• Vendors defending their products: Old products being re-labelled as private clouds in a box (I described most of these as “lipstick on a pig”)
• Advanced server virtualization deployments: Although few have a true self-service interface, the intention is certainly there
