Virtual Business Definition #1
“ An organisation that uses computer and telecommunications technologies to extend its capabilities by working routinely with employees or contractors located throughout the country or the world. Using e-mail, faxes, instant messaging, data and videoconferencing, it implies a high degree of telecommuting as well as using remote facilities. ”
Extreme Virtual Business
“ The most extreme type of virtual company is one with only "virtual employees" and no central office. Everyone works from home, including top management. “Source : answers.com

Cloud Computing
• ORACLE– “Cloud computing promises to speed application deployment, increase
innovation, and lower costs, all while increasing business agility. It also can transform the way we design, build, and deliver applications.”
• IBM– “cloud computing is an all-inclusive solution in which all computing resources
(hardware, software, networking, storage, and so on) are provided rapidly to
users as demand dictates.”
Cloud Computing
• Microsoft & Wikipedia– “Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product,
whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices as a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network (typically the Internet).”
