Cloud computing presents for the integration for the resources of internet (such as storage volume and capabilities of computing) by utilizing the virtualization technique, then the integrated resource is delivered by any devices and software platforms. This process presented above is been called cloud services. For the user, using to finish their routine work can increase convenience and has no problems related to hardware. But on the other hand the coming problems of information security due to the convenience of remote access make cloud services hard to be trusted by companies. As a result, the private cloud emerged; it uses the characteristics of cloud computing but higher security and stronger information controllability. Besides, private cloud provides companies to sell or to lend cloud resources in their private network then builds the more stable environment than cloud vendors have. This study describes the current status of cloud computing and cloud service at first, and then illustrates the concept of private cloud (Enterprise Cloud, Private Cloud). The development of the theory model based on TOE framework to discover what factors might affect the adoption of private cloud is divided into three dimensions: technology, organization and environment. In Technology, the discovery of assistance and resistance between organization and private cloud comes after the understanding of perceived benefits and barriers. In Organization, management support and firm size would be considered. In Environment, the competitive pressure and partner readiness will be evaluated by the attitude to private cloud in organizations. The result shows perceived benefit, competitive pressure and partner readiness which are the most significant factors. The expectation of this study could be the supportability to know more comprehensive of private cloud in organization’s perception.
