I don't think of the cloud as just a server elsewhere on the internet, but more of a group of servers, like EC2, or Windows Azure, where the data is shared between them, and backed up in various places.

I have heard many people refer to the internet in general as 'the cloud', which I can understand, but I don't think of that as it's primary definition.
