What is Cloud Computing? Why do I care? What i s C loud Computi ng? Why do I care?

The Voyss Solutions Difference

Back in olden times (1960s) there was this really big room with a computer in it.From “IT,” this really fat cable was run throughout a building to…


a big green TV screen and a keyboard.

That was the beginning of Cloud Computing.


As more and more folks needed computing power, the desktop PC was Invented.

The Cloud evaporated. (1980s )


Then some genius thought , “We need to be able to share files and stuff without having to copy to a disk and use the sneaker net to access that information.” (1990s)

“Servers” and Local Area Networks were born. The Cloud started a slow return.

Sneaker-net: the art of running from PC to PC with a disk of information!


Then this thing call the “Internet “ came into being. It grew and grew until …

"During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet."

Really?


some other genius remembered the olden times…


The Cloud has returned, bigger, more powerful, and a lot less expensive!
