Overview
Cloud computing represents a new way to deploy computing technology to give users the ability
to access, work on, share, and store information using the internet. The ideal way to describe Cloud
Computing would be to term it as 'Everything as a Service' (abbreviated as XaaS). The cloud itself is a
complex network of data centers, each composed of thousands of computers working together that can
perform and achieve the functions of a software on a personal or business computer units by providing
users access to a vast number of applications, platforms and services delivered over the Internet.
PRIVATE CLOUD
Private Cloud, also known as Internal Cloud, is a cloud-based infrastructure operated exclusively
for a single organization with all data protected behind an internal firewall. This is usually physically
located at the company's on-site data center or can also be managed and hosted by a third-party provider.
PUBLIC CLOUD
Public Cloud, also known as External Cloud, is available to the public where data are created and
stored on third-party servers. Service infrastructure belongs to service providers that manage them and
administer pool resources. The need for user companies to buy and maintain their own hardware is
eliminated. It is based on a shared cost model for all the users or in the form of a licensing policy such as
pay per use.
