is too early in the article (somewhat abrupt), not very accurate, and the language can be improved. <small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/89.211.90.127|89.211.90.127]] ([[User talk:89.211.90.127|talk]]) 07:12, 14 December 2014 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
== And mine, also ==
The article seems reasonable to me. The criticism that it's "too technical" is nothing short of inane. Firstly, the material is mustneeds of a technical nature; secondly, far more technical articles appear all over the place yet are seldom criticized. I would point out that the author's command of various aspects of the technology is rather superficial, but I digress.

=== It may be fine for you, but consider the audience ===
Please don't be "technologist", one person's inane is another person's incomprehensible. :)
Can't we just speak plain English? That introduction is not suitable for, say, children who just want to know what it means. How about opening with something like: "Cloud computing is a way of running software over the internet." Then go on to be just as technical as you like.

== Turnkey systems and distributed databases ==
I have been a programmer for 40 years. Young people tend to be unfamiliar with older technology. As best as I understand Cloud Computing, there are two types. One type is an evolution of Turnkey Systems and the other is a Distributed Database made available over the internet. I think that the database-only form of a cloud should be mentioned and contrasted with Distributed Databases. IBM was a pioneer in Distributed Database technology but I assume that is relevant to Distributed Databases so a link to Distributed Databases should be sufficient. Since the article mentions RJE, which is much less relevant than Turnkey Systems, Turnkey Systems sure should be mentioned. I think Turnkey Systems are also more relevant to Cloud Computing than timesharing systems. [[User:Sam Tomato|Sam Tomato]] ([[User talk:Sam Tomato|talk]]) 18:29, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
