Cloud Computing

Cross-posted from http://www.grok.in/blog/2008/12/29/cloud-computing/

A couple of weeks ago I participated in an interesting discussion on Cloud Computing at an unconference in Bangalore. Though the discussion was to be on “whether Cloud Computing is inevitable or not”, we hardly got past defining it! That just about demonstrates the confusion that surrounds Cloud Computing — it isn’t even clear what it’s supposed to be. It’s not for no reason that it has been referred to as Haze Computing!

I think everyone has a moral (Tongue) responsibility to add to the confusion. Only through such attempts can we achieve clarity. This post — an attempt to put in words, my understanding of what Cloud Computing is and is not — is a contribution to that end.

I was hoping that we could continue the discussion and expand on the above post here. What is cloud computing, in your view?

Re: Cloud Computing

Cluster computing in a new name..  Tongue

Just like we've discovered "texting" we're also discovering cloud computing. Believe me, all these lofty goals that are attributed to cloud computing today have been around for decades, if not more. The goals remain the same, the names keep changing.
