    There is no one diagram that captures it. 'Cloud computing' means different things, depending on who defines it, but it basically consists of the concept that your computing power is delivered over the Internet, as opposed to from your local desktop or server. So, the computing power is in 'the cloud', and typically, accessible by others. You have the notion of a 'private cloud', which is basically your LAN and a classic client-server architecture.

    This is just more marketing BS.
