While Cloud Computing conjures up an ethereal image, it is underpinned by  hard technology and computing infrastructure. While the end user will often see and 'touch' the Cloud via a Web browser, there are infrastucture components that need to be put in place, both by individual organisations to support their Private Clouds and by Cloud providers to drive their Public Clouds.

Components of this infastructure include data centre management, databases, servers, networking technologies, storage, Cloud development platforms and virtualisation.
