Cloud Computing - The internet is getting personal

Introduction:

"I CAN OWN WAY LESS AND DO WAY MORE - Every business has needs and yours is no different. Your people need to stay connected and you need to maintain essential security and control. So why not have both? Make productivity easier by giving everyone endless ways to work and collaborate from anywhere at any time and on any device. In the cloud you make the rules." - Microsoft 2011

"The Internet cloud, where the distributed and programmable network of services across the globe will serve all the data, resources and functionality we will ever use." - Alex Barnett 2007
