Research on enterprise public and private cloud service

Abstract

In this paper, a generic comparison between the Enterprise Public and Private Cloud is analyzed based on its features and service provided. Cloud computing technology is widely adopted in today's industry where large database applications are deployed. Every organization moving towards cloud will have to consider many factors such as security, portability, database size, platform independence, multi-tenancy, customer requirements and other related resources. The detailed study focuses on essential cloud characteristics, service models, and cloud operation models such as Integrated (Hybrid), Public, Internal (Private) and Community clouds. The outcome is an effective assessment of leading two Enterprise cloud technology service providers – ownCloud© and HP Public Cloud® and its implications on the organizations which used them for cloud based applications. ownCloud© is the preferred open source file system for organizations to access for solutions across the world. HP Cloud offered by Hewlett-Packard (HP) provides public, private, hybrid and community cloud based services for various enterprise and other large-scale business organizations. Both the Private Cloud and Public Cloud can be enhanced to protect the data from intrusion with various security features where multiple users share the same cloud for storing and retrieving data.
