There is a fear attached to the security of cloud. However these are myths. Some are:
1. Cloud is riskier than traditional IT: Data breaches can happen on premise. The efficient way is to work with a competent, experienced provider that invests in strong network securities.
2. You can’t control where your data resides in the cloud: regulated industries like health care require valuable information. This is discredited because organizations can choose specific region based data centers, private clouds.
3. The cloud is not suitable for complaint workload: organizations can leverage for private or hybrid cloud development model better suited to the needs.

Cloud Computing connects large pool of resources through private or public network and this technology makes infrastructure planning easier. Cloud Computing provides dynamically scalable infrastructure for cloud based applications, data, and file storage. Businesses can choose to deploy applications on Public, Private, Hybrid clouds or the newer Community Cloud. Public clouds are provided to the public by a service provider who hosts the cloud infrastructure. Public cloud providers like Amazon AWS, Microsoft and Google own and operate the infrastructure and offer access over the Internet. With this model, customers have no visibility or control over where the infrastructure is located.All customers on public clouds share the same infrastructure pool with limited configuration, security protections and availability variances. Private cloud is cloud infrastructure dedicated to a particular organization. Private clouds allow businesses to host applications in the cloud, ensuring data security and control, which is not ensured inn a public cloud environment. Hybrid Clouds are a composition of two or more clouds (private, community or public) that remain unique entities but are bound together offering the advantages of multiple deployment models. A community cloud is a multi-tenant cloud service model that is shared among several organizations and governed, managed and secured commonly by all the participating organizations or a third party managed service provider.

Cloud computing enables companies to get agile, leverage infrastructure on demand, and run it like a utility. The cloud environment provides flexibility, scalability and continuous availability with expert services. Rapid prototyping and to solve business process through analysis can be easily done by having access to a cloud environment. While the benefits are many but, the public cloud does not fulfill the needs of individual organizations which need better privacy and data security. In public cloud, many clients can access virtualized services from the same pool of servers and resources, but in private cloud clients mainly access services from a distinct pool of physical computers. Nowadays many organizations opt for a middle way i.e. hybrid cloud solution to avoid disadvantages of private cloud.
