Cloud computing comes in three deployment models: public, private, and hybrids clouds. With a large pool of resources that can be connected via private or public networks, there are different levels of security and management required. The costs of computing, application hosting, content storage and delivery can be significantly reduced with the cloud.

Depending on the type of data you're working with, you'll want to compare public, private, and hybrid clouds in terms of the different levels of security, workload needs, and management required.

What are the differences between these three models, and how can you determine the right cloud path for your organization? Here is the breakdown to help you understand. Remember, one size cloud does not fit all. It's important to fully understand this so you are not limited as an organization, to a particular Cloud model.
