Private Cloud Hosting

Public clouds are also called shared clouds and is a common option for decision-makers who want to keep it simple. People who choose this option have less control over infrastructure but often like the fact that it is cheaper and reduces lead time when developing and introducing new products.

Private clouds are, basically, clouds that you don't have to share with other organizations. This is a common option for company intranets or hosted datacenters and offers greater fault tolerance, security and infrastructure control than public clouds.

Hybrid clouds are a blend of the two. Your organization might share some resources with others depending on your needs and activities.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) refers to a product or service accessed over the Internet. Examples include outsourced email services, Amazon Web Services, or Microsoft Office 365.

Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) is often used by software developers who want to deploy their applications remotely without worrying about server infrastructure. One example is Microsoft Azure.

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offers maximum interaction with the infrastructure, including deploying back-office applications.
