ITs Raining ‘Clouds’

Cloud computing… Every other day I find the term mentioned at some place. Recently, I came across a few cloud computing models. So, if you are not much bothered about privacy, then cloud could (wow! displace ‘l’ by 2 places) be a decent proposition for reducing costs. But, I don’t see cloud computing to be completely new, its more like an enhancement to the idea of thin clients; Old wine in new bottle.

The first site that I came across was :

http://cloudo.com

Later on, found EyeOS to be much better. Better, because, you have it available as a package which you can deploy in your own system (webserver + php required), its licensed under AGPL and few parts under LGPL and a lot of applications are available.

How about giving a try? Yup, I did it. With the free account available on their site as well as installing in a local system (thanks Nachi for sys, well, he may come to know this only after reading it here!)
