== Abstracted layering ==
The cloud mentality is in fact the idea that what's on the backend of the user interaction is a no-care. With the escalation in virtualization, this methodology becomes more prevelant across all layers of computer environments and user interfaces. A quick example would be that if a user required a database driven backend, it should not matter what operating system the database is actually deployed on as long as it is supported on that OS. One could even argue it shouldn't matter what database manager is installed for the same reasons, as long as dependency chains are met.
Further then that, not only the what of the install, but now, the where of the install becomes a "clouded" entity. Centralized computer farms could be established as shared resource pools, and as long as performance criteria are met, the users environment could now be deployed at a selection of physical locations.

Agreed. ''Cloud computing'' is the mother of all abstractions. [[User:SamJohnston|samj]] ([[User talk:SamJohnston|talk]]) 09:15, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
