cloud computing (p. .671): Cloud Computing is a new term for an old service with new features. Many of us used to have an email account during the last two decades. Data location, storage and processing are usually unknown to the user. In fact, this was a kind of Cloud service. Cloud was known as on demand infrastructure in the 90s and as Grid/Utility computing in the 2000s. Clouds and Grids are common in their vision, architecture and technology, but they differ in security, programming model, business model, compute model, data model and applications.
