The space and processing would be of the Application Service Provider (ASP). But after the initial hype & hoopla, the concept just died, most probably due to bandwidth restrictions and browser security issues.
Nonethelsss, I had liked the ASP concept very much. So it is good to see similar open-source/free (atleast for now) offerings coming up !
