Sunny Days with Cloud Computing

All hearing quite a bit of media chatter about "cloud computing." Sometimes suppliers may use other terms such as "Mesh computing" or "Elastic Cloud Computing." All of these terms really boil down to an old idea being implemented using new technology - advanced networking technology combined with sophisticated virtualization technology. In the past, suppliers used terms such as "service bureaus" or "application service providers" to put forward the idea that applications be rewritten using new tools and then have them hosted somewhere on the Internet or in the organization's own datacenter.
