Service deployed applications;  Cloud computing can be provided using an enterprise datacenter’s own servers, or it can be provided by a cloud provider that takes all of the capital risk of owning the infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cloud computing incorporates virtualization, data and application on-demand deployment, internet delivery of services, and open source software.  Virtualization enables a dynamic datacenter where servers provide resources that are utilized as needed with resources changing dynamically in order to meet the needed workload.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The combination of virtual machines and virtual appliances used for server deployment objects is one of the key features of cloud computing.  Additionally, company’s can merge a storage cloud that provides a virtualized storage platform and is managed through an API, or Web-based interfaces for file management, and application data deployments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Layered Service providers offering pay-by-use cloud computing solutions can be adjacent to company’s equipment leases. Public clouds are run by third party service providers and applications from different customers are likely to be mixed together on the cloud’s servers, storage systems, and networks.  Private clouds are built for the exclusive use of one client, providing the utmost control over data, security, and quality of service. Private clouds can also be built and managed by a company’s own IT administrator.  Hybrid clouds combine both public and private cloud models which may be used to handle planned workload spikes, or storage clouds configuration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The benefits of deploying applications using cloud computing include reducing run time and response time, minimizing the purchasing and deployment of physical infrastructure. Considerations for Energy efficiency, flexibility, simplified systems administration, pricing based on consumption, and most of all limiting the footprint of the datacenter.

It is not. In 2006, Web founder Sir Tim Berners-Lee sagely observed that “nobody knows what it means”:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/y6ewzy" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://tinyurl.com/y6ewzy"&gt;http://tinyurl.com/y6ewzy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 2007, Michael Wesch put together this video that supposedly “explains what Web 2.0 really is about”:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/6pdz2q" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://tinyurl.com/6pdz2q"&gt;http://tinyurl.com/6pdz2q&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is a cool video. But the message is all about XML and how it can be used to separate form and content. There was no mention of CSS and XHTML, but no matter. I was writing XML parsers in the ’90s, and XHTML/CSS web design pre-dates “Web 2.0″ as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And now in 2008, the most honest thing we can say is that “Web 2.0″ means whatever the techno-marketeer (ab)using it wants it to mean. Otherwise, why would intelligent people like Isaac O’Bannon still be writing articles asking “What is Web 2.0?”:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/5solok" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://tinyurl.com/5solok"&gt;http://tinyurl.com/5solok&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And, why would McKinsey’s just-released best-of-breed report entitled “Building the Web 2.0 Enterprise” …&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/6sxls7" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://tinyurl.com/6sxls7"&gt;http://tinyurl.com/6sxls7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;… include no attempt at defining the term other than to list the “Web 2.0 Tools” that comprise or enable it? And even there, the chief ingredient is identified only as “Web Services”, adding more mystery to the mix as one ethereal term is offered up to explain another.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As originated in an &lt;a href="http://Onstartups.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="Onstartups.com"&gt;Onstartups.com&lt;/a&gt; website design posting…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/576sgs" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://tinyurl.com/576sgs"&gt;http://tinyurl.com/576sgs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;… “Web 2.0″ is like pornography: Nobody has defined it, but you know it when you see it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bruce Arnold, Web Designer, Miami Florida&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.PervasivePersuasion.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.PervasivePersuasion.com"&gt;http://www.PervasivePersuas...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">MiamiWebDesigner</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 05 Aug 2008 10:49:39 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: WalkScore.com - Another Web Hosting Success Story</title><link>http://www.webcloudworld.com/news/walkscorecom-another-web-hosting-success-story/#comment-1890570</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Amazon S3 and EC2 is what we have used successfully at work for the same reasons.
