What is Cloud Computing?
|
|
Many of you might have heard the term "Cloud Computing" and wondered what it means. The term comes from the way the Internet is represented on flow charts and in diagrams, as a cloud. Here is the most accurate and simplest definition I have seen, it was written by Lewis Cunningham, a Data Architect and frequent technology blogger:
Cloud computing is using the internet to access someone else's software running on someone else's hardware in someone else's data center while paying only for what you use.
It is how we deliver NOVAtime 4000 and ADI 10 Hosted applications. As Larry Ellison, the CEO of Oracle recently lamented: " ...the computer industry is more fashion-driven than women's fashion and cloud computing is simply the latest fashion." Call it Software as a Service (SaaS), hosted, ASP or whatever the definition above applies.
