Cloud Computing Options

As the discussion of Cloud Computing and the possibilities dawn to organizations, I thought it would be opportune to put on the table the spectrum of options which may open out to organizations at different stages of adoption of this emerging trend.

Private.Public.Hybrid are broadly the options.

Many would be confortable establising their own clouds within their data centers as proivate clouds and then slowly moving to Hybrid model where the web applications are hosted in the public cloud where as the rest would be in the private cloud. As the concept matures and concerns with regard to governance and security gets addressed we would see wide spread adoption of the public cloud.

The scale ultimately will drive the cost of the cloud down in enabling a wide-spread adoption like the Internet.
