There is a lot of buzz these days about cloud computing. But I see a lot of technocrats who still have wrong intuition about cloud computing. Let me throw some light on it.
Cloud computing is a category of computing solutions in which a technology and/or service lets users access computing resources on demand, as needed, whether the resources are physical or virtual, dedicated, or shared, and no matter
how they are accessed (via a direct connection, LAN, WAN, or the Internet). The cloud is often characterized by self-service interfaces that let customers acquire resources when needed as long as needed. Cloud is also the concept behind an approach to building IT services that takes advantage of the growing power of servers and virtualization technologies.

WHAT TYPES OF APPLICATIONS CAN RUN IN THE CLOUD?
So what type of applications can run in the cloud. Anything can run in a cloud, but that doesn't mean anything should run in a cloud. Any software that benefits the user by being resident on a desktop or workstation (system analysis tools, defragmentation utilities, etc.) would be better off remaining local. Also, sensitive customer data maybe should not be on a public cloud.
A cloud is right on target for applications that deal with IT management, business and productivity, development and deployment, capacity (server and/or storage), and collaboration.
