Most people think of "hosting" as:
- Management of systems that reside in the service provider's data center
- Providing customers with access over the Internet to the service provider's data center
- Service provider retains ownership over the datacenter, network, systems, storage, tools software & IT management resources
- Somewhat simpler, prepackaged solutions, targeted at small and medium-sized customers or departments within an enterprise
They think of “outsourcing" as:
- Management of systems on a customer's premises in their data center, or with the service provider
- Acquisition of IT management resources by the service provider
- Customer owns the systems and software licenses
- Often large, complex, global, enterprise-level implementations
