Default Cloud computing

So as everything develops and we get to learn new terms, new ways of doing business etc, I've been ask recently by some clients on how to describe cloud computer and/or what is it. Fortunately, I found an article this morning that helps put it in layman's terms.

"Cloud computing represents a new way to deploy computing technology to give
users the ability to access, work on, share, and store information using the Internet.The cloud itself is a network of data centers - each composed of many thousands of computers working together - that can perform the functions of software on a personal or business computer by providing users access to powerful applications,platforms, and services delivered over the Internet."


Here is the link to the full article. http://www.marketspaceadvisory.com/c...-the-Cloud.pdf

First time I've heard the expression right here. Sounds a little bit like peer to peer.
