G.HO.ST 

Your virtual Office, worldwide

First you need to obtain an account atg.ho.st which is quick easy. But you may ask, what should I do with it. Just image that you have a virtual office in your own private web space (15Gb), which you can access from any browser in the world.

There are many things you can do, make documents, private, public, add images, music, I'm still learning, but there already many min-applications (widgets) available. This module will be updated as soon as more information is available.

What is Cloud Computing 

Cloud computing is Internet- ("cloud-") based development and use of computer technology ("computing"). In concept, it is a paradigm shift whereby details are abstracted from the users who no longer need knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them.Distinguishing Cloud Computing from Utility Computing Cloud computing describes a new supplement, consumption and delivery model for IT services based on Internet, and it typically involves the provision of dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources as a service over the Internet.Gartner Says Cloud Computing Will Be As Influential As E-business

The term cloud is used as a metaphor for the Internet, based on the cloud drawing used to depict the Internet in computer network diagrams as an abstraction of the underlying infrastructure it represents.The Internet Cloud Typical cloud computing providers deliver common business applications online which are accessed from a web browser, while the software and data are stored on servers.

These applications are broadly divided into the following categories: Software as a Service (SaaS), Utility Computing, Web Services, Platform as a Service (PaaS), Managed Service Providers (MSP), Service Commerce, and Internet Integration. The name cloud computing was inspired by the cloud symbol that is often used to represent the Internet in flow charts and diagrams.Techtarget.com
