Cloud Computing originates back to the 1990s where the Cloud symbol was used to reflect connections of systems across the Internet in architectural drawings. The Cloud image caught on early as a symbol of the Internet. Nearing year 2000, the Cloud definition achieved a broader recognition pertaining to the delivery of enterprise applications from a vendor's website.
 

The Public Cloud is a large scale, shared infrastructure but with individually distinct customer hosting environments. The individual environments are architected to meet your business needs while leveraging part of a large infrastructure. The Public Cloud, therefore, offers economies of scale and is provided by vendors like those participating in the DOI Foundation Cloud Hosting Services contact. There are times when security, compliance to regulations and other special needs drive an entitchter control and privacy of its own Cloud, in this case taking on the definition of Internal Cloud.  Services are simply the supply of value added commodities. For the Cloud and specifically for the DOI Foundation Cloud Hosting Services contract, these services, delivered through IDIQ contracts, can be found here.
