Cloud computing types

A hybrid cloud is a cloud computing infrastructure composed of two or more clouds (private, community, or public) that remain unique entities but are bound together by standardized or proprietary technology that enables data and application portability.[1]

  • Private cloud: cloud infrastructure operated solely for an organization.[1]
  • Public cloud: cloud infrastructure available to the general public or a large industry

group and owned by an organization selling cloud services.[1]

Hybrid cloud file server is a type of hybrid cloud involving file storage, sharing, and access. As a hybrid cloud system, there is a public cloud component and a private cloud component.

The public cloud component is the public cloud file server offered by a cloud service provider.

The private cloud component is the on-premise private local storage:

  • For single users it’s a computer hard disk drive
  • For office users it’s a network attached storage
  • For enterprise users it’s a virtual machine network on a file server

A hybrid cloud file server synchronizes data between the public cloud and local storage. It provides one central access point for users to share, store, and access data, externally or internally, online or offline.

Example of hybrid cloud file server infrastructure based on group size

Hybrid cloud file server advantages

  • Fast access speed of local storage devices
  • File access with any internet capable computer and mobile device
  • Files are stored in the cloud and local storage
  • No need for physical file servers, file server maintenance or VPN
