COMMENTARY: Why NIST's cloud definition is fatally flawed, from Government Computer News

NIST’s definition of cloud computing is incomplete in two significant ways: first, by excluding the notion of big data and second, by limiting itself to three out of an almost infinite number of possible “things as a service.”

In relation to big data, GCN’s recent cover story “Taming Big Data” and a recent InformationWeek article on “Hadoopla!” reported on the big data revolution and its explosive growth in both vendor implementations and customer adoption.
