Flexibility, Cost Savings, and Risk Reduction
Multi-cloud refers to the use of cloud services from multiple cloud vendors, allowing organizations to run applications on different platforms. It offers flexibility, cost savings, and risk reduction. Multi-cloud solutions are built on open-source technologies and include capabilities for managing workloads across multiple clouds.Some define multi-cloud as the use of multiple public clouds from different providers, allowing businesses to leverage different vendors for various services. Multi-cloud deployments can be intentional or unintentional, and they can serve purposes such as redundancy, backup, and utilizing different vendors for different services. Hybrid cloud differs from multi-cloud in that it combines different types of clouds, while multi-cloud combines different clouds of the same type.
Cloud Services Definition
Cloud computing is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted services or data storage over the Internet. Significant innovations in server computer virtualization and distributed computing, as well as improved access to high-speed Internet, have accelerated interest in cloud computing. There are three categories of Cloud Services: Public, Private, and Hybrid (aka virtual private cloud services).
Public Cloud
Public cloud hosting services are for the most part on or in the public or semi-public internet connectivity arenas. Several popular public cloud data storage offerings exist: Amazon Cloud Drive, Apple iCloud, Microsoft SkyDrive, Dropbox and so on. Features and fees on these public cloud data storage options vary as well as important things like data encryption standards. These services are focused on data storage cloud applications and may or may not actually work for a business or larger enterprise. If you are not sure about the suitability of these services to your needs, we can help you evaluate this important cloud services architecture issue.
Private Cloud
Private cloud hosting services are a managed solution(s) that is hosted in and transported across a client leased or owned infrastructure. It still has the managed services (meaning proactive support offered under contract as a utility service to the client) and hardware/software may be owned by the supplier of the services in addition to the proactive management. The private cloud has a geography that is typically under the umbrella of the client’s property investment. All services, server software/hardware, and management are offered as a utility service, or some mix of a utility, and may be client acquired and managed.

The Hybrid Cloud
Hybrid cloud hosting is a combination of cloud services for infrastructure, data storage, software or applications as a service, communications as a service, business continuity and security as a service by providing these services like a utility. All of these services are proactively managed for the client under contract (but in cases like the public or private cloud, the client may manage they design themselves). The geography of the server hardware/software, connectivity is typically a combination of in the public cloud (remote data centers), and on client sites, optimized for best performance, cost control, and highest level of business continuity. The definition of “hybrid cloud” can include a virtual private cloud.
