Ever since Google<http://online.wsj.com/public/quotes/main.html?type=djn&symbol=goog>Inc.
Chief Executive Eric Schmidt publicly uttered the term "cloud
computing" in 2006, a storm has been gathering over Silicon Valley.
Companies across the technology industry are jockeying to associate
themselves with clouds.
Amazon.com<http://online.wsj.com/public/quotes/main.html?type=djn&symbol=amzn>Inc.,
better known for peddling books online, began selling an Elastic
Compute Cloud service in 2006 for programmers to rent Amazon's giant
computers. Juniper
Networks<http://online.wsj.com/public/quotes/main.html?type=djn&symbol=JNPR>Inc.,
which makes gear for transmitting data, dubbed its latest project
Stratus. Yahoo<http://online.wsj.com/public/quotes/main.html?type=djn&symbol=yhoo>Inc.,
Intel <http://online.wsj.com/public/quotes/main.html?type=djn&symbol=intc>Corp.
and a handful of others recently launched a research program called
OpenCirrus.
While almost everybody in the tech industry seems to have a cloud-themed
project, few agree on the term's definition.
