20 definitions of cloud computing in the IT World

Markus Klems

Cloud computing is a buzzword that encompasses development, load balancing, business models, and architectures, the future model of the software industry (Software 10.0), or simply, cloud computing is the Internet-centric software.

Reuven Cohen

Cloud computing is a web-based service designed to allow users to pay only for the features they need, while eliminating the traditional software investment in hardware, software, and expertise. Cloud computing allows users to get their applications out of the complexity of technology and deployment.

Jeff Kaplan

The word cloud will be hot in the next year or two, and people will be able to virtualize and recreate IT applications, creating a service based business model.

Douglas Gourlay

Cloud computing refers to a big ambition, basically, to get users to access technical services through the Internet, and now every time I log on to Facebook or search for a flight, I actually use cloud computing.

Praising Gaw

Cloud computing is the new Web2.0, a technology-rich market bloom. Cloud computing is a new buzzword, just as people used to put a little Ajax on their websites and claim to be Web2.0.

On the positive side, Web2.0 eventually captures the mainstream eyeball, and similarly, the cloud computing concept will eventually change people's minds, eventually erupting into a variety of concepts, hosting services, ASP, Grid computing, software as a service, platform as a service, anything as a service.

Damon Edwards

Cloud computing still has a lot of puzzling things to do, but it doesn't have to be so complicated that only three services are based on "cloud", Saas,paas and cloud computing platforms.

Brian de Haaff

From a consumer perspective, SaaS is a kind of cloud computing, but people in the industry have to understand what that means. Simply put, cloud computing is the sublimation of SaaS.

Ben Kepes

Cloud mode is designed to make the hardware layer of consumption on demand, as required storage space, and in order to allow the cloud model to bring more power, we need in the entire application architecture, in a virtual environment to implement the configuration, deployment, service.

Kirill Sheynkman

I used to liken cloud computing to a client, and we can compare cloud computing to "cloud chef," a chef who is responsible for family meals, and if my child wants Italian food, I will either do or order Italian meals to him, and these things may change every day.

Take our data center 3.0来 says you can decide whether your application is running locally or in other data centers, and you can change your mind halfway if you find that there is not enough resources. In fact, based on automated management, you can change it in real time.

Omar Sultan

Cloud computing is about accessing resources and services that require dynamic change. The resources for application and service requests come from the cloud, not the fixed physical entity. The cloud is a virtual resource that can be maintained and managed by itself.

Kevin Hartig

The cloud is a huge pool of resources that you buy on demand; the cloud is virtualized; The cloud can be billed like running water, electricity, gas.

Pritzker

Cloud computing is a user-friendly grid computing.

Trevor Doerksen cloud computing means outsourcing, how much you buy, what you need, something from the Internet.

Thorsten von Eicken to discuss issues surrounding the concept of cloud computing, we need to do it in a historical context, and look at the pioneers of cloud computing and the problems they encounter that will give us some guidance to avoid the same problem.

Paul Wallis about the distribution of cloud computing, we can borrow the pyramid model. At the top are those apps that only require users to care about what this is, such as Gmail, Hotmail, Quicken online, and so on.

In the middle are some services that you have gradually increased flexibility and control, but still subject to some restrictions, Google App Engine, Heroku, Mosso, Engine Yard, Joyent or force.com (SalesForce Platform) A class of applications is counted in this category.

At the bottom are some architectures such as Amazon EC2, Gogrid, Rightscale and Linode.

Michael Sheehan

The Web and blog World Boom makes people believe that any application can go to the web, in fact, some are possible, but most of them are not. Reliability, scalability, security, and a host of problems will prevent most companies from putting their core business into the cloud, and if that happens, the cost of the problem will be very high.

Amazon is the leader in cloud computing, but even Amazon has a lot of problems, and cloud computing needs to be perfected, and it may take longer than most estimates.

Don Dodge

Today's high-speed networks, high-performance graphics processors, fast but inexpensive servers and storage allow engineers to focus more and more computing power on data centers, and 10 years ago researchers created the concept of grid computing, and cloud computing would be stronger.

Aaron Ricadela

When we provide virtual technology to people who do not know computer technology, we want to be virtual or hidden complexity. Most people want to deal with applications or services, not software. For cloud computing, we want the software itself to be virtual or hidden behind the system or professionals, or behind the cloud.

Irving Wladawsky Berger

In my opinion, cloud computing is a way to provide users with a WEB service based on the previous applications that require a lot of hardware and software investment and professional skills.
