Some background to what "The Cloud" is....
Cloud computing covers many facets and means different things to different people. Maybe the quickest way to learn more is to provide a Glossary of Terms so we can at least use the same phrases! One of the challengers being faced by suppliers in the sector is that there isn't a single published standard for Cloud Computing.
Types of Cloud
There are generally acknowledged to be three primary types of Cloud:
Public Cloud
This is the delivery of applications and information through externally hosted systems via the Internet.

Virtualization vendors are now hyping their product offering as a Private Cloud. Therefore a Private Cloud is usually thought of as physical servers that are within the company's network architecture.
Hybrid Cloud
A mixture of both public and private cloud-based solutions.
