Typically, cloud computing platforms can be public or private. In the public cloud, the infrastructure and applications are owned by the cloud vendor and essentially leased to the cloud consumer. A private cloud operates behind an organization’s firewall and is maintained within the parameters of the host organization, although the infrastructure and applications can still be owned by a cloud provider. Private clouds are becoming increasingly more popular.
Many believe that the “sweet spot” for cost optimization in the cloud relies on a delicate balance of public and private clouds – often referred to as a hybrid solution. For cloud GIS users, this means taking advantage of GIS software and services within on-demand infrastructures, taking full advantage of both on-premise and off-premise, depending on the business needs or restrictions of the organization.
