...or put differently, cloud computing allows you to run a server on hired hardware, somewhere, "in the cloud".
Anything you could do on a physical server that does not require you to meddle with the server physically, you could do on a server "in the cloud". Yes, it can be a file server, but it could also be a web server, or an application server. You could run eyeOS on it (http://eyeos.org/) and have your own Google-like docs and mail on it if you wanted. You can't connect a mouse and monitor to it, but you can reach it over the network and work with it. Just think of it as your server room with a very, very long cable to your desk. ~llaurén > On Mon, 02 Aug 2010 16:28:52 -0400, Terry Talim <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > > > > What can Ubuntu Cloud Sever be used for?
