A computing resource located “out there” somewhere, connected to the Internet and operated by a third party.<\/p>\n
When the heat is on, just like real clouds, they can either evaporate or become a storm (see Monsoon Computing<\/strong>). In either case it’s not good news.<\/p>\n Like Cloud Computing<\/strong> but down to earth. i.e. based in reality and generally under the organisation’s direct control. Often called a Corporate Cloud<\/em> Computing<\/em> resource.<\/p>\n This generally hangs around longer than is required but never lets the temperature get too high.<\/p>\n You’re sure that you purchased the equipment for your corporate cloud computing resource, but you can’t see very much of it and it’s not a lot of use.<\/p>\n You’re pretty sure that there must be a computing resource somewhere, you can feel it, but you can’t find it.<\/p>\n You seem to have a large number of light-weight and low powered computing systems for your processing. However, all they seem to do is annoy you and never actually do anything useful.<\/p>\n You have a large number of independent computers all working to solve your problem, or at least dissolve it.<\/p>\n Somehow you seem to have huge numbers of high power processors on your hands, all working on your problem uncontrollably. Unfortunately, the upshot of this is that your problem isn’t solved, it’s washed away by the massive deluge of cost and possibly information overload.<\/p>\n So, do you have any more\/better amusing definitions for weather analogous computing names? If so post them as comments below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cloud Computing A computing resource located “out there” somewhere, connected to the Internet and operated by a third party.
