Cloud

'The cloud' is as nebulous as the name suggests. The term arose from the cloud symbol used in diagrams to represent the internet and 'cloud computing' is used loosely to describe all manner of services delivered via the internet. The following case studies were funded by the JISC Flexible Service Delivery programme and helped to shape guidance on cloud computing which is available as part of the 'Improving Organisational Efficiency' infoKit.
