   • A virtual private network is hosted on private machines, such as your own or your companies. Those resources and the virtual network is only accessed by persons authorized by the person or organization who controls it. It also only addresses network access. Processing power and storage are up to the user to provide. A virtual private cloud is hosted on third-party serves and anyone who wishes may access it to set up their own computing environment, to include processing and storage on the third-party servers.
