I donot understand this HYPE which has been created in the name of Cloud ………….its not that different from severs in physical data center other than it may have virtualized instance of server …………so same network/application /security glitch might effect so called cloud than traditional data centres ………..amazon for instance is just tons of commodity computers running Xen based Hypervisor …………with bunch of api thrown in …….so what happens if the physical server running the instance goes down ? ……………….its gone for ever ……..only thing you are left with an image ………………I guess which is quantum leap in computing is Grid computing and p2p …where we can REALLY share computing power and networks
