WTF is “the cloud” anyways?

One can barely move in IT and web circles these days without hearing reference to “the cloud” (in downtown San Francisco late last year I saw billboard and bus ads all over talking about the clouds!). But just what the dickens is it?

There’s a nicely title article at Google’s Enterprise blog (referencing a classic Raymond Carver short story) discussing the concept from Google’s perspective, that might help bring some clarity to what is clearly a popular, if not wholly well defined concept.

Hype? Reality? Important? Irrelevant? We’ll soon see I guess.
