Who Discovered the Cloud?
•    "The first high-profile usage of the term "cloud
     computing" must have been Google's Eric Schmidt back
     in 2006 during a search engine strategies conference."
      ~CNET editor Dong Ngo

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.
