Re: Cloud Computing on Wikipedia

For me, the question is which vendor wrote it. It clearly hews to
somebody's product-driven definition of a cloud (our product = cloud),
with statements like:
****
Cloud computing gained attention in 2007 as it became a popular
solution to the problem of horizontal scalability.
****
and
****
If the system requires human management to allocate processes to
resources, it's not a cloud: it's just a data center.
****

Any guesses which company it is? I suspect the "cloud architecture"
diagram is a clue.

(My guess is that many Wikipedia articles start like this -- if you
write early and write often, you win.)
