Cloud Computing Infrastructure Models
written by gunther gerlach-2009
There are many considerations for cloud computing architects to make when moving from a standard enterprise application deployment model to one based on cloud computing. There are public and private clouds that offer complementary benefits, there are three basic service models to consider (Public, private, and hybrid clouds), and there is the value of open APIs versus proprietary ones.
models: Public, private, and hybrid clouds
Organizations can choose to deploy applications on public, private, or hybrid clouds, each of which has its trade-offs. Public clouds are typically “out there” on the Internet and private clouds are typically located on premises, a private cloud might be hosted at a co-location facility as well.
