Cloud computing and Cloud servers are entirely different things. I also attempted to word it in such a way that would erase any questions, but apparently I failed. I am aware cloud computing has been around and suggested that. I was referring to the modern definition of "cloud". Dedicated servers back then had seperate task than servers set up specifically for cloud computing. Cloud computing has been in research for a while, but due to latency limitations it hasn't always been relevant/ready for commercial usage.

Every server can do cloud computing... Cloud Computing is a lot of Server together doing tasks for the client host.

There is no modern definition.

Just that the Server power and tech reach a level that you can use it to do more taks than they did before... so for the marketing purpose they started to use the word "Cloud" but even the word is old in computer world.

There is no difference after all and nobody in the world can say an difference example because they are the same thing.


I wouldn't even bother with him. This isn't the first thread he's done this in lol
