A : John, I was reading this column on cloud computing. Businesses use it to get exactly what
they need from the internet.
B : I’m not sure I get what you mean. How exactly would it help?
A : Remember when we installed all that software a few years back? The ones that had so
many compatibility issues?
B : Yeah, that was a real waste of money.
A : Well, with cloud computing we can just access the software online. Then we pay for how
much we use it.
B : So, it’s a pay as you go type of service? What if the software is bad?
A : We can just cancel the service and switch to something better. Deployment is really easy.
B : I like the sound of that. How can we set it up?
A : I’d start with a CDN. It’s a set of computers that just store data.
