in 2006 during a search engine strategies conference."

Inside the offices of Compaq Computer, a small group of

business and calling it “cloud computing.”(1996)

Public Cloud VS Private Cloud
Public clouds: • Also known as a shared cloud, such services are provided "as a service"
over the Internet with little or no control over the underlying technology
infrastructure. This cloud is appealing to many decision-makers as it
reduces complexity and long lead times in testing and deploying new
products. It is generally cheaper, too.
Private clouds: • Also called an internal cloud or enterprise cloud, this also offers activities
and functions "as a service" but is deployed over a company intranet or
hosted datacenter. This is private product for a company or organization
offering advanced security and highly available or fault tolerant solutions not
possible in a public cloud. In this scenario, the private cloud owner shares
few, if any, resources with other organizations. Hence, multi-tenancy is not
an issue. • http://www.paypercloud.com/Public-versus-Private-Cloud-Hosting-Comparison.aspx
