New Technology – New Words
Monday, November 3, 2008 by Brian Wolff
Trying to get a grasp on can be challenging as new terms are being introduced almost as rapidly as new software. -- Geva Perry shared a list of new terms entering the conversation.  These are just some of the new terms being added to our vocabulary.

Private  or Internal Cloud: A cloud computing-like environment within the boundaries of an organization and typically for its exclusive usage.

Hybrid Cloud
: A computing environment combining both private (internal) and public (external) cloud computing environments.  

External Cloud: A cloud computing environment that is external to the boundaries of the organization. Although it often is, an external cloud is not necessarily a public cloud. Some external clouds make their cloud infrastructure available to specific other organizations and not to the public at-large.

Public Cloud: A cloud computing environment that is open for use to the general public, whether individuals, corporations or other types of organizations.   

Cloudware: A general term referring to a variety of software, typically at the infrastructure level, that enables building, deploying, running or managing applications in a cloud computing environment.
