I started working at Boeing in 1996. That was about when they were transitioning from a few giant mainframes to hundreds of servers. The way Boeing had the servers set up was basically how cloud computing runs now; just on a much smaller scale.
Workstation and flythru machines all had hard drives which were solely for the O.S. and a couple programs. Everything else was on Boeing's internal version of "the cloud." CATIA models were on "the cloud". Everybody could access anybody else's model. Same goes for interference checking. While I wasn't part of the implementation team that rolled it out company wide it was one of my jobs to teach everybody in my group how to get their stuff off "the cloud."
