infrastructure and applications can be utility computing. |

Line 5:
There is some confusion in the products / spam listed here. It is my understanding that with Cloud Computing it is the actual computing services that are being offered. The company sells you CPU time to run whatever programs you want to run.
Cloud computing is different from web services. With Web Services, the web server is simple responding to a specifically formatted request with a specifically formatted reply. Web Services are standard client-server model, not capable of generic computing. Therefore I am removing links to pages dealing with web services.<small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User:GreatTurtle|GreatTurtle]] ([[User talk:GreatTurtle|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/GreatTurtle|contribs]]){{#if:{{{2|}}}| {{{2}}}|}}.</small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->
: I disagree. Utility computing is being used in the industry to refer to any on-demand computing resource that is offered by a pay system that is usage based (whether that is infrastructure or an application). Salesforce.com is frequently cited as one of the notable early companies that offer a Utility Computing service[http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/0,1000000121,39170736,00.htm], and their offering is entirely a web-based service. -- [[User:Bovineone|Bovineone]] 05:25, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
