Myths about cloud computing are rampant in the IT industry. Here are eight myths that generally relate to vendors’ attempts to align cloud messaging with the historical products and services they provide. However, some of the myths are related to general misunderstandings and hype about the cloud.

No. 1 Cloud computing is an architecture or an infrastructure.
No. 2 Every vendor will have a different cloud.
No. 3 Software as a service (SaaS) is a cloud.
No. 4 Cloud computing is a brand-new revolution.
No. 5 All remote computing is cloud computing.
No. 6 The Internet and the Web are the cloud.
No. 7 Everything will be the cloud.
No. 8 The cloud eliminates private networks.

Cloud is not an architecture or infrastructure, because it is an abstraction for a relationship between the consumers and providers of services. That means that there are many approaches to cloud computing.

Cloud Why Not Cloud Why Not
Video on demand to your home Delivered service Point-to-point video over the Internet Feature of the network and devices
FTP as a guaranteed service Service through the Internet FTP as an Internet function Feature of the Internet
Storage as a service (for example, Amazon) Service through the Internet Storing files on remote servers Infrastructure function
The Web as a service delivery platform Service through the Internet The Web and Web pages An interface layer
Microsoft Managed Messaging Service Not appropriately scalable
Cloud exists when someone takes responsibility for the delivery of a service or resource over the Internet or Web, rather than just uses the Internet or the Web.

Cloud services are different from technology features.
Today’s cloud offerings do not have strong-enough service-level guarantees.
Technology vendors are often poor service providers.
