Cloud Computing – what is it and why should I care?
We just stumbled across this nice little visual all about cloud computing and thought we’d share it with you. It gives you a very basic overview of what cloud computing is all about, as well as some interesting stats. Some of the basic advantages of being in the cloud are explained, and there are some easy-to-read visuals about the differences between traditional IT and cloud computing.
Take a look for yourself:

Sorry still doesn’t make any sense. This is describing the internet and data center outsourcing which has been around for as long as I can remember. You know, you can lease servers and hire IT consultants. I guess that is cloud too
You know, this is not new at all. In fact, the client device will soon be just a thin client capable of running a web browser and connecting a few USB devices. This is basically what was around in the 70s and 80s when mainframes ran all the software and just delivered formatted output for display to a dumb terminal. Then we figured out we could do more if we had our own computer and didn’t have to share it with everyone else. Guess that’ll be the next big thing after the cloud. Wonder what they brand that as – “Personal Computing” maybe..?
