Cloud Computing: Internet-basedcomputing in which large groups of remote servers arenetworked so as to allow sharing of data-processing tasks, centralizeddata storage, and online access to computer services or resources. - www.dictionary.com

  3. How does it work? Data Centers: The facilities that house cloud storage systems. Where stuff you upload into "the cloud" lives. "A client (e.g., a computer user subscribing to a cloud storage service) sends copies of files over the Internet to the data server, which then records the information. When the client wishes to retrieve the information, he or she accesses the data server through a Web-based interface. The server then either sends the files back to the client or allows the client to access and manipulate the files on the server itself." - www.howstuffworks.com What would be some benefits to cloud computing?
