I'm a bit confused. He mentioned virtual servers, but what kind of hardware is used to house them?
The best hardware that makes sense for what your trying to do. You will have some type of physical machine, a hypervisor, and then virtual machines made from the hypervisor. These are the virtual servers he is referring to.

@scottalanmiller so cloud is a buzzword?
Oh yes I used to see commercials with a kid talking about the "Almighty Cloud". This was several years ago but not much has changed in the marketing.

Very interesting, so google drive or dropbox are that kind of services right? Or am I confused?
No, they are not. They are "hosted storage", but there is nothing particularly "cloud" about them. Everyone uses the term cloud to sell hosted storage because ... well because people are confused about cloud. So yes, everyone considers that to be cloud, but it isn't in any actual way.

It's absolutely used wrong all the time, but that doesn't make cloud a buzz work, cloud is a real specific thing, but almost no one uses it correctly.
