I don't see how this is connected to "cloud computing" in ANY way. People just throw in the "cloud" word anywhere, don't they?

- Nursie 13y agoIt never really meant anything, it was just a marketing term that went too far, encompassing so many different technologies and services that it could be applied to pretty much anything.
- rtpg 13y agoIt never meant anything new, but it does mean something (mutualising resources and having access from anywhere and the like).
- Nursie 13y ago'Private cloud' may not have access from everywhere and may refer to mutualised resources across teams and individuals but not necessarily unknown third parties. I'm pretty sure that for any given definition I could give you a counterexample or two that's had the label slapped on it :) (Unless it's "has a network connection")
- guiambros 13y agoIt's a remote Windows desktop, running on a remote server and provided as SaaS. While I agree that cloud is overused in general, it seems appropriate in this case.
