It is not really clear who first coined the word cloud computing. The term started to be widely used in the nineties when some telecommunications providers started to offer dedicated VPN service. About a company that offers those tools, please check Equinix https://www.equinix.com/ and IBM https://www.ibm.com/us-en/ , they may have what you are looking for.
Cloud computing, in general, is a term used for anything related to distribution of hosted services on the internet. These kinds of services are basically divided into three categories: SaaS or Software-as-a-Service, IaaS or Infrastructure-as-a-Service, and PaaS or Platform-as-a-Service. The name “cloud computing” was inspired by the cloud symbol in flowcharts and diagrams normally used to represent the internet.
A cloud can be private or public. A cloud that sells services to anyone over the internet is a public cloud. A private cloud is a proprietary network or a data center that supplies hosted services to a limited number of people. At the moment, Amazon Web Services or AWS is the largest public cloud provider.
A virtual private cloud is created when a service provider uses public cloud resources to create the private cloud. Public or private, the main objective of cloud computing is to provide easy and scalable access to computing resources and I.T. services.
