Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) allows the imaging of servers and the use of web services to provision these images on specified virtual platforms. It currently allows a range of basic, to intermediate, to high-performance spec’ed platforms and these are priced on an hourly basis.
Using the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) a complete application environment can be provisioned from the stored images in a short period of time, used for a defined purpose and period, and then decommissioned.
Quick definition: Cloud Computing is an Internet based platform geographically distributed and developed to provide real-time scalable resources and provided “as a service” over the Internet to users who don’t need to have deep knowledge or expertise on technology infrastructure. The concept incorporates software as a service (SaaS), and other well-known technology trends.
Cloud computing services span a wide scope, from virtualized low-level computing and storage to full business services. Understanding the spectrum of cloud services and the characteristics of each service category is essential in determining when, where, how and why to apply cloud computing.

As I promised this morning, these are a few lines to help on setting your intranet systems in the Cloud Computing enviroment. As you probably already noticed, it is all about infrastructure as a service, designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers.
Amazon EC2 (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud):In simple words, is a collection of web services that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It provides you with complete control of your computing resources and lets you run on Amazon’s computing environment. Amazon EC2 reduces the time required to obtain and boot new server instances to minutes, allowing you to scale capacity, both up and down, as your computing requirements change. EC2 allow you to pay only for capacity that you actually use.

There is an easy way to work with a team remotely and share documents from diverse sources like MS word, Excel, Power Point and many others, without failing in duplication of information or having different version of the same documents. This is an issue that it need to be fix and who better than Google with its online applications (SaaS: Software as a Service) running over their powerful grid and web services platform.
Watch this video and you will understand in few minutes all the benefits of working with virtual documents.
