The term "cloud computing" is everywhere. In the simplest terms, cloud computing means storing and accessing data and programs over the internet instead of your computer's hard drive.

The cloud computer vendor can’t think of everything a developer or application might need or want to do. So the cloud needs to be hackable and extensible by the developer and that means an ...

Using the cloud saves storage space on your computer, which makes it run faster. Here's how to boost that speed even more.

Cloud bursting offers the ability to rapidly scale compute and/or storage from on-premise to public cloud capacity. But what are the key pitfalls and how are they avoided?

The first half of cloud computing is the cloud. While the cloud is not local to the computer, there is some variation to where it is located.

The next phase for cloud is coalescing public and private data centers across the globe into a 'single infinitely powerful computer' that is easy to access and use. IBM has a roadmap.

Cloud bursting is a way to deal with one of IT’s constant challenges. Namely, balancing demand with the compute and storage capacity needed to fulfil it.

A popular meme is that the cloud is just "someone else's computer." Jack Wallen explains why the cloud is so much more complex than the meme would have you believe.
