Reads: 36,999  By Kevin Hartig Cloud computing is becoming one of the next industry buzz words.

Trends in usage of the terms from Google searches shows Cloud Computing is a relatively new term introduced in the past year. There has also been a decline in general interest of Grid, Utility and Distributed computing.

These tools, which are designed to help organizations turn big data into opportunities, are gaining deeper insight into massive volumes of information.
