Cloud Computing is one one of the most misunderstood terms in technology. What is cloud computing? Easiest way to approach a definition is to review it in Wikipedia:
"Cloud computing is a recently evolved computing terminology or metaphor based on utility and consumption of computing resources. Cloud computing involves deploying groups of remote servers and software networks that allow centralized data storage and online access to computer services or resources. Clouds can be classified as public, private or hybrid. Although informative, what does this actually mean. Cloud has allowed for scalable and on demand services to be shared by multiple organizations removing the requirements for CAPEX purchases and moving them towards an OPEX model."
