TYPES OF CLOUD SERVICES

                 Cloud services are divided into four categories on basis of ownership, size and access.


                 PUBLIC CLOUD
                 A public cloud is owned by a third party service provider (any organisation) whose services are

                 easily accessible to the general public. The organisation sells its services to the general public and
                 organisations. To ensure that no resources provided by them are wasted, the users are supposed
                 to pay for what they use.

                 PRIVATE CLOUD

                 A private cloud is owned by a single company and allows its services to be accessed only within
                 the company firewall and is not meant for the general public. This is best suited for companies
                 with dynamic computing needs where they can take control over the environment of their cloud.

                 HYBRID CLOUD

                 A hybrid cloud includes both public and private clouds. This consists of services that are owned
                 by a private company but also provide its services to the general public.


                 COMMUNITY CLOUD
                 A community cloud includes services offered to a group of organisations and communities that
                 share common interests.
