2. What is cloud computing?
Cloud computing changes the way we think about technology.
Cloud is a computing model providing web-based software, middleware and
computing resources on demand.

3. Why only Cloud?
Computing power will become as easy as consuming an application from the iPad - simply go to an online store, look for the applications you need, pay and use them. Great news except for those whose jobs are threatened.
"The provisioning of applications was earlier being done by IT teams. There will be fewer such people required since the tenet of the cloud is automation and self service,"
T. Srinivasan, Managing Director of virtualisation and cloud infrastructure firm VMware (India).
