“Cloud Computing” is an ever-growing term that is about to hit close to home. The idea of accessing all the world has to offer at any time any place internet available is extremely important resource to the future expansion of personal, educational, and commercial societies. Students will have all the information they need at their fingertips. Look for big bulky server and storage applications to disappear.

Time will tell what will cap the expansion of the cloud, but look for widespread and overwhelming movement in the very near future.

The terms “Cloud computing, The Cloud, and Cyberinfrastructure.” have come to describe the usage of wireless technologies to join multiple computers, devices, and software using wireless capabilities and remote servers, known as “clouds”.

Clouds are growing ever more popular with businesses and individuals do to the security, data, knowledge,
