''Both agree that “cloud computing” was born as a marketing term. At the time, telecom networks were already referred to as the cloud; in engineering drawings, a cloud represented the network.'' From http://www.technologyreview.com/news/425970/who-coined-cloud-computing/. This is not an urban legend, and the speculation about Super Mario has no place in this article. Can someone please update the "Origin of the Term" section? --[[User:Phillywrap]] <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|undated]] comment added 09:38, 18 June 2013 (UTC)</span><!--Template:Undated--> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Distinguishing between virtualisation and abstraction ==

Abstraction is a process of simplification that conceals the details of a system at its interface. Abstraction is also used to refer to the result of this process.

Virtualisation does not necessarily conceal details. I propose replacement of the phrase "Virtualization abstracts the physical infrastructure" with "Virtualization generalizes the physical infrastructure".

The proposal made above has not received any feedback. I shall proceed to make the modification if no counter-proposals are received by 15th July.

== Dell no longer supports OpenStack ==

According to the article http://www.networkworld.com/news/2013/052013-dell-cloud-269969.html [[Dell]] no longer supports [[OpenStack]], and thus that information should be added into "Open Standards" section

The idea that Dell is dumping OpenStack is silly. From the article:

"Instead, the company will focus on selling OpenStack-powered private clouds that run on Dell hardware and software"

What the article is really saying is that Dell is backing off from having a public cloud product.
