What The Heck Is Cloud Computing? – Another re-look, with Pretty Pictures

  • Article

I am obsessed with answering Oracle CEO Larry Ellison’s question, “What the Hell is Cloud Computing?” 

I introduced you to the genteel CEO and his polite query in What The Heck Is Cloud Computing?, I then distilled and simplified the explanation in What The Heck Is Cloud Computing? – A Brief Re-Look. Now allow me to clarify further with pictures. To keep things brief and to the point I will not repeat the content of my previous blog posts, so you may want to check those out.

Lynn Langit’s Windows Azure Introduction provides our first eye candy:

SaaS blogs provides a good description and this nice high-level overview of who are the target users at each level.
