Cloud Deployment Models

Public Cloud

A public cloud makes resources available over the Internet to the general public.

Private Cloud

A private cloud is a proprietary network that supplies services to a limited number of people.

Hybrid Cloud

A hybrid model contains a combination of both a public and a private cloud.

The hybrid model is a growing trend in the industry for those organizations that have been slow to adopt the cloud due to being in a heavily regulated industry. The hybrid model gives organizations the flexibility to slowly migrate to the cloud.
