Defining cloud computing

Ask a dozen people what "cloud computing" means and you'll get a dozen different answers,

clipped from en.wikipedia.org

Cloud computing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cloud computing or Server Cloud, gained attention in 2007 as it became a popular solution to the problem of horizontal scalability.

The architecture behind cloud computing is a massive network of "cloud servers" interconnected as if in a grid running in parallel, sometimes using the technique of virtualization to maximize computing power per server.
