Cloud Computing Definition

I read an article in the FSF Bulletin about Merlin. It contained a good definition of Cloud Computing, which I think is worth posting since there is a lot of confusion about what Cloud Computing is.

"Cloud Computing is about (a) aggregating server, network, and storage resources into a seemingly contiguous system ("the cloud"), (b) providing some kind of interface for the user to request or release these resources, and (c) making these resources network or location agnostic, so that the resources are accessible from anywhere, even in the face of system or network failures." -- Justin Baugh
