Internet [r]: International "network of networks" that connects computers together through the Internet Protocol Suite and supports applications like Email and the World Wide Web. ^[e]
Distributed computing [r]: A strategy for improving the speed of highly parallelizable tasks by distributing pieces of the problem across many computers that together form a distributed computing system, e.g. BOINC, SETI@home. ^[e]
Virtualization [r]: In computing, a broad term that usually refers to the abstraction of resources on a computer, using a container such as a "virtual machine" or several "virtual machines." Usually this is accomplished using either a virtual machine or an operating system that has tools to enable virtual environments to run inside it. ^[e]
Capital expense [r]: (CAPEX) The "startup" costs of a project, as distinct from the recurring cost of operations ^[e]
Operating expense [r]: (OPEX) After capital expense has been paid, the continuing cost of a project, often stated in monthly terms ^[e]

Software as a Service [r]: A type of cloud computing in which the vendor delivers a specific type of application, such as social networking, medical billing, or other customizable but well-defined function that requires neither application development nor expenditure on servers and data centers ^[e]
Platform as a Service [r]: A cloud computing service in which the units of capability bought by the customer are virtual machines accessed through a high-level application programming interface, such as web servers, electronic mail servers, or database servers ^[e]
Infrastructure as a Service [r]: A cloud computing service in which the vendor provides virtual machine instances running over a hypervisor; the customer is responsible for configuring the operating system, middleware and applications ^[e]
Data as a Service [r]: Add brief definition or description
Physical Infrastructure as a Service [r]: Add brief definition or description
Public cloud [r]: Add brief definition or description
Private cloud [r]: Add brief definition or description
Hybrid cloud [r]: Add brief definition or description

.NET Framework [r]: Bundle of interdependent programs required to create and run programs using C# and multiple other programming languages on most versions of Microsoft Windows. ^[e]
Application programming interface [r]: A set of conventions, specific to a programming language, by which a user application program written for a specific purpose communicates with software infrastructure such as the operating system or web services ^[e]
Application engines [r]: Add brief definition or description
Google virtual app [r]: Add brief definition or description
Java platform [r]: A bunch of programs needed for creating and running programs written in the Java programming language. ^[e]
Managed Support Provider [r]: A third-party organization that provides computing services that primarily supports information technology infrastructure rather than end user services ^[e]
Mashup [r]: A data visualization created by combining data with multiple computer applications. ^[e]
Web services [r]: Add brief definition or description
Single sign on [r]: Add brief definition or description

National Security Agency [r]: Add brief definition or description
Infrastructure as a Service [r]: A cloud computing service in which the vendor provides virtual machine instances running over a hypervisor; the customer is responsible for configuring the operating system, middleware and applications ^[e]
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud [r]: Add brief definition or description
Platform as a Service [r]: A cloud computing service in which the units of capability bought by the customer are virtual machines accessed through a high-level application programming interface, such as web servers, electronic mail servers, or database servers ^[e]
