Smart enterprises are approaching the Cloud not as an all-or-nothing alternative to company-owned hardware, but rather are weighing each workload to see whether it's best handled in house, through multi-tenant cloud computing, or somewhere in between. They know that one size does not fit all. They're instead picking the best horse for each course: a thoroughbred for the racetrack, and a Clydesdale to pull the beer wagon.

In fact, it is possible that India's significant IT expertise, coupled with its massive domestic market, may position the nation to become the birthplace of many future cloud leaders.
