Cloud Information Systems: What is "The Cloud"?


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.
Private Cloud

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.
Components of a Cloud-based Information System
  • Hardware - Platform As a Service
  • Network - Infrastructure As a Service
  • Application - Software As a Service
