The entire concept of cloud computing is divided into three forms of cloud. These include Public cloud, Private Cloud and Hybrid Cloud. All three have significant characteristics; however their choice depends on the personal requirements of businesses.
- Public Cloud
In this type of cloud form, data stored is in cloud server, which is located at a distant place elsewhere. It enables users to share and access data from anywhere and at any point of time. This means public cloud promotes shared environment. Although, a bit risky in terms of data security as business operations are done through Internet, but offers highly scalable environment.
- Private Cloud
A private cloud is beneficial for those organizations that do not want to share their confidential data with any third party. Data stored in a private cloud is secured in the firewall settings, which enable only the authorized parties to access data and do not invite any third party.
As a matter of fact this type of cloud is secured than the public one because whatever data is stored on cloud is stored in in-house IT premise of an organization.
- Hybrid Cloud
A hybrid cloud is a mix of both and gives users or business entities the advantage of both the cloud environments. Suppose, a business enterprise wants to share its services and products with its clients across the globe, but at the same time wants to hide the confidential information from them, Hybrid cloud architecture would suit best for such types of businesses.
