The info has to be shown in Salesforce on a Visualforce page. I donot want to store any info in SF. How can I achieve this functionality?

There are many different ways of getting information from these sources, but if you don't want to store the data in Salesforce then you will need to either do it via API/webservices or the new Salesforce Platform Connect feature.

The Force.com Integration Workbook is a good place to start with understanding the various options: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/integration_workbook/index.htm (http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/integration_workbook/index.htm)

Here is information on Platform Connect: https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=platform_connect_add_external_data_source.htm&language=en_US (https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=platform_connect_add_external_data_source.htm&language=en_US)

After that you can start to look at specific solutions for your needs. If you don't have a good understanding of the platform, you can start the learning process here: https://developer.salesforce.com/trailhead
