The market for Public Cloud includes revenues generated by the three cloud computing service models of Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service, and Software as a Service. In general, these services are offered by third-party service providers who deliver computing resources such as servers and storage capabilities, developing tools and frameworks as well as business applications to customers via the internet. These services are remotely managed, enabled, and distributed by third-party, large-scale data centers.
In comparison to a private cloud, a public cloud offers its services not only to individual organizations, but to many other users via the public internet. Public cloud allows for scalability and resource sharing that would not otherwise be possible for a single organization to achieve.

Analyst Opinion

Cloud computing is one of the hot topics when talking about IT development and groundbreaking industry changes. Cloud computing affects all kinds of business processes and can tackle dynamic and complex needs. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) makes it easy to scale up or down physical servers and data center infrastructure. Platform as a Service (PaaS) offers tools in a virtual environment that provide the possibility of developing and running applications. Software as a Service (SaaS) is a third cloud service model for licensing and delivering business applications that are typically accessed via a web browser. Besides purely private and purely public cloud solutions, hybrid cloud and multi-cloud models will play an important role in enterprises’ future cloud strategies.
