While utility computing often requires a cloud-like infrastructure, its focus is on the business model on which providing the computing services are based. Simply put, a utility computing service is one in which customers receive computing resources from a service provider (hardware and/or software) and "pay by the drink," much as you do for your electric service at home - an analogy that Nicholas Carr discusses extensively in "The Big Switch."

Utility Computing is a term often applied to IT infrastructure and technology which really captures the fact that that infrastructure may be paid for or may deliver services which may be paid for based on use or value, rather than on component cost. Enterprise Grids, by their nature will be service centric and will require telemetry that will enable reconciliation of resources with the services that consume them, i.e. cost with value, and thus enable utility computing. See also: Enterprise Grid Computing
A pay-as-you-go model of computing. Instead of paying for computer resources to handle the peak load at all times, you pay only for the computing you use; analogous to an electric utility.

An infrastructure solution proposed by HP that allows virtualization of computing resources for the data center. The Utility Data Center includes servers, storage, and networking products that are integrated and deployed by intelligent management software that allows them to be shared and dynamically re-provisioned to accommodate changing workloads.
