What is the �Cloud� anyway?

Rob VandenBrink at SANS has done the world a GREAT service. He�s put together a blog piece that breaks down the different types of services that are commonly referred to as �the cloud.�

They include:

-- Colocation Services
-- Host as a Service (HaaS) / Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
-- Computer as a Service (CaaS) or Desktop as a Service (DaaS)
-- Platform as a Service (Paas)
-- Software as a Service (SaaS)
-- Private Clouds

It�s a very nice, quick read:
