Public vs. private enterprise image hosting 

A private cloud typically

resides on a solution providers own

infrastructure or at a third party

data center. It is firewall

protected and physically secured.

Infrastructure. Support upgrades

and security are entirely the responsibility

of the solution vendor. On top of providing

the solution itself, a public cloud

is hosted by a public cloud provider.

That means the operational responsibility

shifts to the hosting company with

a public cloud. The solution provider

is no longer responsible for the data

center network server

and storage. Instead, they're free

to focus on adding value through their

core application performance

and scale are also enhanced with

a public cloud. Public cloud

providers own and are responsible for

their own networks and operate at

sufficient scale. To ensure available capacity

and connections, vast numbers of

network trunks reduce the distance required

to connect to the network, thereby enhancing

service speed. In contrast, the

limited scale of infrastructure in private

clouds can impact performance.
