With a private cloud, there'd be one group that does all the

That one group purchases the hardware autonomously, uses fancy tools

cooling. Individual departments have a difficult time predicting what
they need, but collectively its a lot easier to plan and make sure
that everyones needs are met. So there's less overbuying. And the
people managing the servers are only tasked with managing servers.
This (the above, plus the whole of your message that I didn't quote) all
sounds like they've just renamed mainframe computing as clouds.
