The Three Ways to Cloud Compute

This cloud computing video explains SaaS, PaaS and Iaas -- otherwise known as "software as a service", "platform as a service" and "infrastructure as a service". It is produced and presented by Christopher Barnatt, author of ExplainingComputers.com and "A Brief Guide to Cloud Computing" (Robinson, 2010), and Associate Professor of Computing & Future Studies in Nottingham University Business School. For more information on cloud computing please see ExplainingComputers.com/cloud

Are adobe products such as Adobe Dreamweaver & Flash prof are PaaS?

[explainingcomputers]

@jazik007 No, Dreamweaver and Flash creation tools are locally installed applications for creating web content. In contrast, all PaaS tools run on a cloud provider's system to create web resources that are then delivered from the same provider's platform.

A storm is coming, and we all know what comes before a storm, calm. The storm is blowing all the local weather away, is this the death of IT guys and LAN based small to medium based business infrastructure?
