There has been a lot said this year about cloud computing. One could say the the whole subject is “a little cloudy.” This video from rPath does a great job of explaining cloud computing in plain english. It’s only 5 minutes long and worth your time if your trying to understand the connection between cloud computing and virtulaization. It also does a great job contrasting cloud computing with Software as a Service or SaaS.
I like the analogy of SaaS being like buying a car, where Virtualization is more like leasing a car and Cloud Computing is like having a taxi at your service. If you see other useful video’s like this please comment below or send me a link. Thanks!
