An Overview of Cloud Computing
A friend in IT recently asked me to explain cloud computing to them. It’s a complicated question because 1) personal cloud computing (think Sugar Sync, etc.) is very different from enterprise cloud computing (think Amazon S3, etc.) and 2) The vendors offering cloud services are offering really different products from each other.
I gave my friend the best summary which I could, but later I referred him to this old but excellent summary of the state of cloud computing. It has great great play-by-play on the offerings from each of the major vendors.
Things have shifted a little bit since then, but this is still the best summary I’ve seen on the web. And Amazon is still kickin’ everyone else’s butt with their simple image-based solution.
