Cloud computing is the new buzz word for distributing processes over several computers.
Basically, the business logic (or part of it) of an application runs on several computers remotely rather than the local machine.
Heyo, you can look it up on wikipedia, they have a very detailed explanation of it… Just go to google and type “cloud computing”, and click on the first answer… I hope that helps =D
Best way to think about is like client server computing, or server side scripting but you don’t actually know which server and resources are being used.
It can be extended, if designed properly, to spread your work across as many servers as required to do it. So, if you have a massive job or a simple one, the cloud infrastructure assigns your work to the resources necessary to process it.
Kind of like if you run a game on your local PC, but you don’t have enough disk or memory to run it, it automatically borrows from others on your network.
As you can imagine it’s implementation is a lot more complex than that. Security, resource management and sharing, scheduling, failure of systems, redundancy, etc. all play a big role.
