kudos:8 | said by Tommy M :And the "cloud" implies that it isn't just the data stored there, but the processing is done there as well. Dunno. "Server" suggests the same thing, given it has, well, a processor. Not quite. "Server" suggests a particular piece of stuff. "Cloud" at least has the useful benefit of including the notion that you don't know, and don't need to know, where it's running, whether it's running on one lump of stuff or several, whether and when it can move around, and all the flexibility benefits. So there's a need for some word for all that. But it ought to have technical substance; "cloud" is now mostly buzzword. |
