I've heard the term for some time now and have picked up bits and pieces here and there but really had no idea what the hell it was all about. And it seems even those you thought would know were a bit confused... so I don't feel terribly bad. |

NoJive...I came across this term sometime early last year from an article in the Economist....and my initial take was that it seems like we might be making a full circle and returning back to Centralized processing? |

There are a lot of problems with "Cloud Computing" One is security. I am still not 100% about the security of such an idea. As it is right now, I do use Google Docs to some degree, but I would never put anything up that might have something that might be classified as sensitive data. I've also used DropBox, but haven't really found a need for it (not really sure you can call that Cloud Computing though). quote:

CPrompt: you are describing the problems with cloud computing you are describing the problems with a web application that is managed by a company that you don't trust. Also cloud computing as a concept can't be held responsible for you not having a backup/restore plan. |
