We can probably all agree that the cloud computing service-based model of application delivery has received more than its fair share of hype, over-embellished hyperbole and hyper-cross-talk in the last few years. Surely now then we have come to a new plateau in cloud, i.e., the time for real-world usage, implementation and deployment.
What does the “real cloud” mean?
The real cloud is located in a place where we start actually using the hosted virtualized environments that are available to us so that “working applications” move to the cloud. That would be working applications – as opposed to the cloud merely and simply being viewed as a test and development environment.
