This article discusses yesterday's release by the National Institue of Standards and Technology, providing their definition of "Cloud Computing".

The article states, "As NIST notes, SP 800-145 "describes how cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.""
