  Overview
</h2>

ClickHouse Private is a self-deployed package consisting of the same proprietary version of ClickHouse that runs on ClickHouse Cloud and our ClickHouse Operator, configured for separation of compute and storage.

<Info>
  **Note**

  ClickHouse Private is designed for large enterprises deploying > 2 TB memory requiring full control over their dedicated infrastructure. Customers are responsible for managing all infrastructure and should be knowledgeable on operating ClickHouse at scale. This option is only available by [contacting us](https://clickhouse.com/company/contact?loc=nav).

* API for programmatic operations, including backups and scaling operations
