Who came up with the name cloud?
Who came up with the name cloud? It has only been six years since the 2006 conference appearance in which Google’s Eric Schmidt’s reference to Google services as belonging “in a cloud somewhere,” introduced the term in to common use and got Schmidt credit for coining it.
Why was the term cloud used initially?
The term “cloud” was originally linked to the concept of distributed computing, which went mainstream at Apple-spawned General Magic in the early 1990s, with even earlier mentions in academic work before that.
Is cloud same as Internet?
Simply put, the cloud is the Internet—more specifically, it’s all of the things you can access remotely over the Internet. When something is in the cloud, it means it’s stored on Internet servers instead of your computer’s hard drive.
Who owns the cloud storage?
The short answer is that you own the data you create, but the cloud service provider has ultimate control over it.
