Uncovering the Mysteries of Cloud Services, Part 4

Monday, February 22, 2010 by Sam Newberry
Defining cloud services:
  • Private Cloud:  Cloud services operated solely for one organization.  These may be managed by the organization directly or by a virtual service provider and may exist off-premise or on-premise.  Considerations for private cloud are while this type of service yields minimal risk, it may not provide the scalability and agility of public cloud services.
  • Public Cloud:  Cloud services made available to the general public.  Virtual storage and hosted virtual server(s) are owned by the virtual service provider.  Considerations of this type of cloud services will be discussed in a my next blog,  after which I will talk about hybrid cloud services.
Go Cloud!
