What is cloud computing?
A distributed pool of computing resources (hardware and software) that can be quickly provisioned and used on-demand…typically within the context of a "pay for what you consume" and "pay as you go" cost model.Small sampling of top cloud

Virtualization & Cloud for Small BusinessCLOUD COMPUTING
These are cloud computing platforms that are
available to any and all who can pay for the
service. These platforms are – rightly or wrongly –often perceived as “not
secure.” Example providers include Amazon, Microsoft
and Salesforce.com.
Public Cloud
Virtually every organization (large and small) implements a combination of BOTH public AND private cloud products/services.
Hybrid Cloud
Typically, a private cloud is defined by an organization that invests in its own hardware and software within a datacenter (or, ideally, multiple data centers) that is NOT publicly accessible but that nevertheless provides its users with applications/services critical to the organization’s operations.

Virtualization & Cloud for Small BusinessCONVERGENCE
While virtualization and cloud computing have been intertwined for quite some time it is only in the last 10 years that technical solution vendors have figured out how to mix the two technologies in ways never before imagined! Vendors/platforms in this space include Simplivity, Nutanix, Pure Storage, Axcient, Hadoop, etc.

Virtualization & Cloud for Small BusinessTHE FUTURE
Won’t my investment in these technologies be ‘obsolete’ in 2 years like my last iPhone???
Yes…• …some technologies are like a new car…they DO
lose value as soon as you drive them off the lot…and NO…• …because these technologies are almost entirely
digital (read: hardware independent) and so this ‘car’ can be tuned, upgraded, repainted, etc., all while still being ‘driven!’
