What's the difference between enterprise cloud and private cloud?
- ChuckMcM 16y agoAptly named blog. Its interesting to watch the notion of 'cloud' get debated, monetized, and marketed. It used to be called 'liquid IT' or 'grid' but basically it is/was a way to reduce operational expense. The basic feature of disassociating OS/System/Infrastructure management from application management is a reasonable 'best practice' goal these days, and with applications built on top of a standardized infrastructure (think LAMP or its follow-ons) the benefits are very real. Of course if you just want to run a dozen machines you're not really talking about 'cloud' now are you?
