Cloud communication

A Sun Microsystems criou um guia com tudo o que precisamos saber sobre cloud communication (comunicação nas nuvens):

"began as large-scale Internet service providers such as Google, Amazon, and others built out their infrastructure. An architecture emerged: massively scaled, horizontally distributed system resources, abstracted as virtual IT services and managed as continuously configured, pooled resources. This architectural model was immortalized by George Gilder in his October 2006 Wired magazine article titled The Information Factories. The server farms Gilder wrote about were architecturally similar to grid computing, but where grids are used for loosely coupled, technical computing applications, this new cloud model was being applied to Internet services."

Isso significa que as empresas de TI podem compratilhar infraestrutura e propor programas que podem ser rodados de qualquer computador sem a necessidade de baixá-los. A IBM e o Google foram as primeiras a adotar esse modelo de arquitetura - Gmail e Google Docs.
