Cloud computing is a new paradigm in application development and deployment in which computing resources are provided as a service through a network connection. With cloud computing, you can quickly provision, scale, and release servers, applications, and other resources without having to invest in the creation and maintenance of a physical hardware infrastructure
Sun combines the open systems and software to build a cloud, the architectural expertise to maximize cloud capabilities, and the technologies to take cloud computing to a higher level.
