"To the Cloud" is a term used in Microsoft's Windows 7 advertisement campaign to give a woman the family nature never could. When I first began hearing this term "The Cloud" in Microsoft's ads I wanted to find out more information on what the cloud actually was. Before MS advertisements I had heard about "The Cloud" in IBM's ads as well. I've also heard some people talk about the cloud as well without having a firm understanding of what the cloud consists of. The goal of this article is to explain what the cloud is and how it is reshaping business.
