Definition Cloud Computing Fraunhofer-Institut, Nov 2010

„Cloud Computing is a model, which ensures «on-demand» and online access to a shared pool of configurable computing-ressources such as networks, servers, storagesysteme, apps and services. Those can be made available

rapid with minimal admininstration effort customized and cost effective.“
