Public vs. Private vs. Hybrid -Tips to Choose the Best Cloud Model for Your Business
Gartner predicts that by 2020, $1 trillion or more may be spent on Cloud technology.
From the report, Cloud computing is widely implemented and organizations regardless of size are utilizing this robust technology to enhance value, productivity and return on IT investments.
However, understanding different types of Cloud models: Public, Private or Hybrid is recommended when it comes to selecting the best Cloud model that fits your needs.
According to RightScale’s 2017 State of the Cloud Report, Private Cloud adoption is waning, while Public and Hybrid approaches are growing.
Here are the differences between the three:
Public Cloud
The Public Cloud, a pay per use model, is a Cloud infrastructure with all the services available through web, so the computing infrastructure can be shared among multiple organizations. This makes this Cloud model an amazing option for businesses with a larger customer base. This model is owned and operated by service providers.
Some of the top examples of this type of model are Google Cloud Engine, Windows Azure, Amazon Cloud Services, Rackspace etc.
Advantages for businesses

What kind of organization will benefit from this type of Cloud model?
