“Cloud computing is not just a buzz word today,” says Ramabhadran A. P., Sr. Vice President, Manipal Global. "Think of a library with millions of books…now think of how will you buy these, from where, where will you store these books and how will you sort them so that a reader can access it easily. Now multiply the information in these books by a billion times over and that’s the amount of data that is available on the internet or simplistically put the “cloud”. Do we have enough skilled people who can enable us to manage information in a data overload world?"
