You’ve heard the buzz and hype about ‘the cloud’, but do you know what it can do for you and your business? While Sand Hill Group’s research saw a dramatic leap in cloud computing adoption in Q4-2010, it also found that many small to midsize businesses are still confused about the meaning of ‘cloud computing.’ Can you tell the cloud apart from high-tech trends like Web 2.0, social media, virtualization, Software as a Service (SaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and web-based tools like e-mail and collaboration apps?
