Think About It
Still confused about what exactly "cloud computing" is?

Pointing to two examples of popular offerings that have both been described as cloud computing, Ellison looked at Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and salesforce.com. It's useful to understand what Oracle means by cloud computing, he said, because "then you will understand when Oracle says, we think this is cloud computing; we think this is not."
