+What is Brume?
+===============
+
+Brume is a private cloud application which can be easily installed and maintained on
+standard user laptop/desktop or even on a server.
+
+
+Why another cloud?
+-------------------
+
+The existing FOSS cloud applications target Enterprise as the primary user.
+This leaves a big hole where small/medium scale companies, universities,
+students can not install, or maintain a cloud of their own. The amount of
+technical knowledge required to maintain any of the available cloud is still
+very high. Brume will fit in this hole where it will give the minimal features of any existing
+cloud application.
+
+
+What is Cloud again?
+---------------------
+
+We follow `this definition <http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-145/SP800-145.pdf>`_ of cloud.
+
+
+Why not just use Vagrant then?
+------------------------------
+
+Vagrant is a great tool for setting up development environment using vm(s) on a system, but it is not a cloud. If you look back at the
+essential characteristics from the above mentioned document, you will find the following
+
+* On-demand self-service
+* Broad network access
+* Resource pooling
+* Rapid elasticity
+* Measured service
+
+These characteristics are not available in any such tool.
