We have seen a definite trend over the last few years of businesses moving their data and services to the cloud. A number of cloud computing service providers have sprung up and the sector has seen explosive growth. As with most new technologies, opinions are divided on the merits of cloud computing. Some analysts see it as the greatest thing since sliced bread and predict an irreversible shift towards cloud computing.

What Does "Cloud Computing" Actually Mean?
To understand cloud computing as a concept, forget the hard drive!
There is no place in cloud computing for such a device, the hard drive is classified as local storage; it's onsite and available to the network of users, but there isn't designated hardware or a server for data storage included.

Got Cloud-Computing? Ditch Your CDN
Do I need a CDN if I have Cloud Computing?
Over last year or so, the term Cloud Computing has been making headlines. There are several new entrants into the Cloud Computing industry. The idea is simple, you have all these computers or servers directly connected to the cloud (The Internet) and you have massive computing power at your fingertips. Companies like Rackspace, GoGrid, Amazon, and AT&T are all offering one form of Cloud Computing or another.

Clouds in Cloud Computing An Interesting Analogy
Cloud computing has been defined in various ways. The definition that mostly aptly describes it is - Cloud computing is a computing paradigm where the boundaries of computing will be determined by economic rationale rather than technical limits. Given by Prof. Ramnath K. Chellappa (currently at Goizueta Business School, Emory University).
Cloud Computing Security
One of the greatest game-changing innovations of this decade is cloud computing. The shift away from pure on-premises applications and data storage is already well underway, with consumers, small and midsize businesses, and even large enterprises putting applications and data into the cloud. The ever-present question however, is whether it is safe to do so. Cloud computing security is by far the biggest concern among those considering the technology. And if you're an IT manager, it's good to be paranoid. Losses from cybercrime and attack can be enormous, and the 2008 CSI Computer Crime and Security Survey show an overall average annual loss of just under $300,000.
