Managed Services

In part one I identified the three types of cloud services: public, private, and hybrid.  So what are the differences?  Well, again all three offer virtual network services such as storage as a service, server virtualization services, and off site data backup service, among many other services.  So before I can talk about the differences, I have to talk about their similar roots.  Referred to as "Cloud Computing", this commonality between the different types of cloud services is the underlying deployment and delivery model, enabling Internet based real-time delivery of products, services and solutions.  Thus "Cloud Computing" is the enabling of "Cloud Services", of which public, private, and hybrid are all a part.

Coming up will be the definition of cloud services as a whole, followed by the dissection of the three types of cloud services.
