Distribute computing almost the same as cloud computing. Store data in the remote server. Access the data from any computer in the network. You don't need to bring your disk and storage media with you any time.
Cloud computing is the provision of dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources as a service over the Internet on a utility basis.[1][2] Users need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure in the "cloud" that supports them.[3] Cloud computing services often provide common business applications online that are accessed from a web browser, while the software and data are stored on the servers.
