Very good description of Cloud Computing. I also really enjoyed how Christopher Barnatt managed to “over-act” in a lecture. Hahaha
for more definitions and explanations on cloud computing by experts go to

Thanks for the coherence and the use of examples.
What a geeky dork.
It may be just me but surely cloud computing has been around for donkeys years. Why is this any different to corporate infrastructure whereby the machines that actually sit on peoples desks contain only a NIC and graphics card and access virtual desktops and storage from a core server in the basement…
really good explanation. cheers.

Early 2011 there was a brand new book released about Oracle Fusion Middleware and Cloud Computing .
Check out “Middleware and Cloud Computing” at Amazon covering Oracle on Rackspace, Amazon and the RightScale Management Platform
@smokenfly514 Yes, that’s the basis of the idea! Or you can rent server space from a big supplier (eg like Amazon Web Services) and sell it on to others — and there are plenty of firms doing that.
So can I create some massive installation/server thing and have people pay me to use part of it?
I agree – the knowledge is good and easy to understand but the voice is patronising and ANNOYING!
People dont want this, you can tell that by the mentioned EeePC’s. most people would rather erase whats on it and install Windows.
@dlanning1979 i was just about to make the same comment, the presenter is so eloquent and slow to explain his facts. I love this so much.
I have to research this stuff for a college assignment. This definitely made my life easier. It also kinda scared me a little… not sure how I feel about this cloud stuff.
@kohila17121978 Yes indeed it can — as low-power PCs can be used to access cloud processing power and applications. And the servers in cloud data centres can run at optimal capacity. See my video called “The Three Reasons to Cloud Compute” for more — or the “cloud” section on my explainingcomputers website.
Can cloud computing be green computing??????????
the way this guy talks is annoying me, i cant even watch it. does he have to move his entire body every time he says a word?
When i first started watching this vid i immediately thought it was a joke. I thought “Nobody could be THAT nerdy looking in the 21st century and not be a parody of Clive Sinclair et al”, but alas this is a real man with a real lack of style. Great video though.
Cloud computing has its advantages but it also has many downsides like privacy security and control of your own data.
Very well done. 10 out 10 Very heplfull explaning. Thanks!
@explainingcomputers It basically turns you back into a slave of some other guy. Centralization means relinquishing your freedom. I much prefer as an individual to keep my apps running locally, on my local commodity hardware and software I can control from source. No proprietary protection money. LINUX + PC = freedom, I can put on the net what I choose. GPG for email etc. Cloud makes better sense for organizations who would need mundane IT to keep pace with rapid growth.
I like how courteous everyone is over here compared to other videos on youtube. Just comes to show you the real reason why your all here; to learn.
The electricity market was completely manipulated 100 years ago, and thats why we have had every energy crisis since then, and huge companies have infinite profit margins.
Just type in J.P. Morgan and Tesla.
And so goes the google/nsa and the web.
my company does cloud comuting for small business’ any one interested 626-739-0020 monrovia ca market@rdpcloud.net
Well explained and strait to the point Thanks….!
