How are private clouds different from public clouds ?
| Private clouds | Public clouds |
|---|---|
| A private cloud consists of computing resources used and exclusively owned by one business or organization. | Public cloud refers to a common cloud service made available to multiple subscribers. |
| Private cloud resides on company's intranet or hosted data center where all the data is protected behind a firewall. | In public cloud, the same hardware, storage, and network devices are shared among the cloud tenants. |
| Private clouds are often used by government agencies, financial institutions, any other mid to large-size organizations with business-critical operations seeking enhanced control over their environment. | Public cloud deployments are frequently used to provide web-based email, online office applications, storage, and testing and development environments. |
