Cloud computing
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) definition:
Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. This cloud model promotes availability and is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models, and four deployment models.
Gartner Definition:
A style of computing where scalable and elastic IT-enabled capabilities are delivered as a service to customers using Internet technologies
