A private cloud seems like a good choice for larger organizations. They still have some admin and/or devops overhead that they would not have using AWS, Compute Cloud, Azure, etc. But, they might save a lot of money by providing developers with Heroku-like platform services but running on their own more cost effective hardware.
For startups with a few people, private clouds might not be a good ideas. Any supporting cases that show the opposite?
I would be interested to see co-ops where individuals and small companies join together to build and operate private clouds for the benefit of their co-op members.
