The term cloud cashing refers to the deceitful practice of rebranding products and services with the term ‘cloud’ to make them seem more relevant in today’s cloud-centric computing environment.

But such an implementation has none of the characteristics of a true cloud solution, such as elasticity, multi-tenancy, or automated, continuous updates.
