That was cloud computing way back then. Now is different though it has become where you can lease just about all aspects of your companies infrastructure. Clodu computing may have been around for a while now , but nothing like its current form or whats to come. I remember when IBM used to lease out space on thier “servers”.

The concept of cloud computing or whatever simpler understandable phrases one can use to convey one ideas has been in existence ever since data communication came to be a reality. What is cloud computing? Simply put, what you are saying is that one can use the computing resources not owned by oneself, and not physically visible to one, not managed by one and not invested in by one for purpose of carrying out data processing of any kind. This is what has been happening in the case of email services, internet itself, data backup services, SaaS, security, antispam, syndicated ERPO, CRM, SCM, online trading, and several services like that. What is happening is that instead of buying or selling teh tool, teh service is being purchased or sold as desired by one. Service provider is in the (profession) business of planning, procuring, installing, operating, maintaining, upgrading of the complete infrastructure that wil enable him to sell the services meeting certain agreed SLAs. May be teh hype is due to the first time it is being tried out in teh IT industry or even to create a hype with commercials in mind. Let's take the case of electricity, water supply, municipal services, education, health care,.... In all these cases this model has been followed for decades / centuries. Th electricity producer, transmitter, supplier is an entity different from the consumer. In fact the package of services under one entity such as an electricity supplier who did everything is now being disintegrated (unbundled) into its various components as specialised areas of business. As I see this is what is happening behind all teh hype in the IT industry too. May be teh noise is due to its apparent novelty to trick the uninitiated into believing taht it is something from mars and hence high price is justified (exclusivity) at least till it becomes a commodity just like anything else that ahs happened in the ICT industry. Just a means of skimming the market in the very short till the customer gets intelligent Hi,
