The language gets muddy....we see marketing using the term cloud for what really amounts to network accessible storage. And we see anything that is available over the Internet being called cloud. We know that NIST has a very specific definition of cloud computing. Does that matter? How does this confusion of term impact businesses?
In our company we provide specific definitions for the types of cloud computing environments which can be used. For example private could vs public cloud. Interestingly, even though we currently provide private could hosting for our systems through a 3rd party with a global contract and they provide all the traditional attributes of cloud computing like scale on demand and pay per use people still talk about wanting to transition to a cloud environment - as if we are not there already. The confusion I believe is that since we are not using a consumer branded provider with strong advertising and the lowest prices people agitate for change. What they do not take into account is the skill sets, operational management, and security considerations in using various cloud solutions. I would say that the term "cloud" itself has become a necessary marketing nugget like "user friendly" was in describing interfaces. Whenever you see a term used in every single sales presentation you know something has changed. I recommend building your own definition of what cloud is for you and your organization and helping people to see what they have vs what they need.
"Cloud computing" itself is a fancy term for sharing computing capabilities. General users think of it as a free storage or document processor online, and this is not far from the truth. However, some other services needs technical users and not simple or interesting for general user to pay for, or to use.
The Cloud computing power still for technical users, so i think generalize the name is not a big issue.
Well I totally agree with Mr. Ahmed , the word you are talking about is "computing", now that sounds more of a remote access to your device but before it was only accessing n sometimes it was a problematic stuff too... but now it is an era of internet.. so everything u do goes online by just a click.. so Cloud can be referred to as a place in the internet where your data has been stored.. but when u add computing to it... the meaning changes that u r acessing that data n editing n deleting n many more stuffs.. that u would do if it was on your system.. so CLOUD can be termed as a place where your data is stored.. but CLOUD COMPUTING can be termed as using that data for ur own purpose from anywhere around the world..
This is totally my review.. pls crt me if I m wrong somewhere
Thanks
Yes it does. Cloud computing is the service model. Like Electricity service. It includes stakeholder, infrastructure (Hw,Sw) network , deployments, data, procedures, Cloud refers to the infrastructure out there.
I emphasize: Yes, it does! You should look into this article: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6808484
