eyeOS: Your Own Private Linux Cloud that You Control (part 1)
,----[ Quote ]
| Cloud computing is a relativity new computing concept
| where resources are provided via the Internet instead
| of on the local computer or network. One of these
| resources can be an entire operating system (OS), or at
| least Web applications that try to mimic Windows and
| other OSs. This resource is commonly referred to as a
| Web OS.
|
| One of the points behind Web OSs is to relieve the
| local computer of the work; to put the computing power
| behind a central server. It's virtualization over the
| Internet. The client or end user computers don't have
| to be regularly maintained; they just need a Web
| browser. For example, applications can be globally
| installed or uninstalled from the Web OS server instead
| of on each PC.

The Cloud and Future Innovation: Nuclear Winter or New Opportunity?
,----[ Quote ]
| This is, for me, pretty standard stuff, and for these
| LUG members as well. We talked about the benefits of
| the cloud: for me, the former configuration manager,
| getting more apps from the cloud means less support and
| maintenance issues on the client machine; for one LUG
| member, the ease of seamless upgrades to reduce costs.
|
| Of course, there are cons to the cloud right now,
| things that will need to be worked out, the most basic
| need being maintaining availability. When Gmail went
| down last week, it caught many people (myself included)
| unprepared on what to do when we couldn't access our
| messages or file attachments. But another con was
| raised that I had not considered before, and I think it
| deserves a little more examination.

Into the Cloud: Upwardly Mobile Funambol
,----[ Quote ]
| In any case, it certainly provides a handy way for Funambol to
| distinguish between the open source community edition of its
| synchronisation software (available under the AGPL), and the
| commercial version aimed at carriers who have suddenly
| discovered a violent desire to jump on the cloud computing
| bandwagon and offer synchronisation services to their customers.
