Cloud Computing - Public or Private

On Tuesday, May 24, Patrick Murphy of ApexIT, presented the basics of cloud computing. Cloud computing reduces the need for dedicated servers because its architecture allows for flexible space sharing. While most cloud computing services are offered online (public cloud), the security concerns and bandwidth requirements of public cloud computing have resulted in many companies purchasing cloud-capable servers to use in-house (private cloud). The benefits of the private cloud, in addition to security control and less bandwidth needs, are less hardware to replace on a rotating basis.
