Cloud Computing in simple words…
Companies demand for small or big IT infrastructure is covered by….
Owning a data center..
Buying a car!
Huge amount of $ in front Large maintenance
& operating costs Fixed costs, that are
never be used

Other solution?
Out-sourcing…
Leasing a car!
Fixed amount paid every month no matter how frequently & in which extend you use it
No significant customizations are eligible
At the end of the contract, still it’s not yours..

Better solution?
Using Cloud Computing!

demand Customization is accepted Pay only for what you consume
