Private Cloud, an Oxymoron? Public Cloud Private Cloud Public cloud represents the core cloud characteristics of self-service, elasticity, resource pooling, metering and broad network access based on shared resources. Private cloud represents the core cloud self-service, elasticity, resource pooling, metering and broad network access based on dedicated resources.

? Cloud – Two Perspectives Public Cloud Platform as a Service Consumer’s Perspective Describe what they want, not how it is achieved Require a standard interface to the service Want a transparent, utility-like delivery of their service Want a clearly defined cost model Want to easily measure delivery They think in terms of business, not IT Want availability and capacity on demand Provider’s Perspective They are concerned with providing service efficiently They want to drive standardisation to reduce costs and simplify operations They want to use contracts to agree requirements They aim for reliable, scalable, repeatable and predictable Public Cloud Platform as a Service Software as a Service ?
