Der Begriff der Cloud

Das Wort Cloud ist aus der Illustration der Netzwerktechnik abgeleitet, in der das Internet immer als Wolke (Cloud) dargestellt wird. Das hängt damit zusammen, dass es sich beim Internet um ein globales, dezentralisiertes Netz handelt, welches aus vielen lokalen und nationalen Netzen besteht, die miteinander verbunden sind. Wie Daten innerhalb des Internets ausgetauscht werden, ist von außen nicht direkt sichtbar. Da auf sämtliche Daten und Anwendungen im Sinne des Cloud Computing über das Internet zugegriffen wird, steckt nun alles in der Wolke.
