Cloud vs The Internet Versus History

So guys we think we are moving the boundaries of technology - Read the March

Whats The Difference Between the Cloud and the Internet ?
We all know what the Cloud and the Internet are but can the Cloud truly
function in an international environment without the Internet. The Internet
also provides services like the Cloud but not on the same scale but is it
feasible it can do in the future or will the Internet always be a transport
network for client to provider Cloud services.

 Does anyone remember the mainframe computer? Wasnbt that our original cloud
computing platform? o

 All that changes is the location of your data. Well,
ok, so that part about bDude, Wherebs My Data?b is also important. But
concepts havenbt changed.

The CLOUD b Nothing new there. Does anyone remember EinsteinNet (Germany)? I
mean (From Wikipedia) the definition of Cloud computing is the delivery of
computing as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources,
software, and information are provided to computers and other devices as a
metered service over a network typically the Internet. Cloud computing
provides computation, software, data access, and storage resources without
requiring cloud users to know the location and other details of the computing
infrastructure. Whereas EinsteinNet (Germany), spoke about bthe provision of
a new breed of IP services driving the evolution from simple network access to
value-added, revenue-generating bundled services. The service providers who
choose to implement a second generation services platform will be strongly
positioned to take advantage of the mass markets' growing needs for these
critical, network-based servicesb. Cloud Computing Services b EinsteinNet
bImmmm- sounds familiar
