Cloud Computing’s Future Looking Bright
By Joseph Hunkins at May 25, 2008 0 CommentsCloud computing has become a somewhat ambiguous term that can mean several things. However clearly “the cloud” is growing in significance as many businesses small and large are moving all or part of their computing infrastructures off of their local servers and local networks and starting to do much of their business online. Websites and online stores were often managed with remote servers using the internet as “the network”, but increasingly companies are sending tasks like email, document collaboration, database management, and project management into the cloud rather than managing them on their own servers using their own IT staff.
The New York Times has a good story today about the cloud, and how a company called Animoto has very effectively used cloud computing to create a very robust infrastructure without building their own data centers.
