Cloud Computing..

Today afternoon my friend, Binoy, called me up and asked about Cloud Computing.  I was taken by surprise by this question. Even though I heard about it many times, I couldn't explain it properly.

When I came back to desk, the first thing I did was to google about Cloud Computing..

The explanations are messy in most of the documents and to be very frank I am still reading docs to get a clear picture.

To my understanding, in Cloud Computing architecture:

1. You have a minimal configuration system with good enough internet connectivity.
2. You do everything else on internet. Be it document creation, mail and everything.
3. You effectively pay for the hardware and the services you use..

Now I am ready to take a blame on me if any of these statements are wrong. This is rather a premature document.
