Hello Techlist. When you think about it, what is the difference between Virtualisation and Cloud? Cloud has to have some form of automation such that the end user can provision a service (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS) by themselves typically form a portal. So virtualization creates a pool of resources:- compute, storage, switching e.t.c that can be provisioned. Cloud automates the provisioning. A private cloud is for in house consumption such that an organization's departments can log into a portal and provision a service they need. Public cloud is for external consumption typically resale e.g. Amazon web services, angani, cloudhop e.t.c. Hybrid cloud is a mix of the two. With inbuilt security features to separate them.

I always fancy the way maganers/marketers/CEOs etc hype the "cloud" thing - you might think its something new you dont know of. Heavy jargons. At first when i heard bosses mention cloud after visiting seminars and exhibitions abroad, left me salivating and wanting to know what i have been missing in the cloud.
Whether private (that cloud over your head and house) or public (that which rains outside) - its a cloud and didnt come yesterday. Started long way back, just jargons and some flavours added as a marketing gimmick.
Kind Regards, Wilson./
