FAQ
General
Cloud computing is the delivery of IT services over a network connection from remotely located servers, usually virtualised and located in a datacenter.
Private is use by a single user/organisation, public is use by multiple users/organisations, hybrid is multiple clouds acting as one often with one being local and the others remote and heterogeneous is where physical, none virtualised, servers are involved in the delivery of the overall service. For further details see this article on Cloud Computing.
A complete IT environment includes all elements to deliver end user service - it is made up of servers, storage, network, applications, monitoring and ticketing.
