India, Cloud is Here to Stay

With the burgeoning growth of mobile devices and desire to get connected 24 x 7, the sales for traditional desktop / PC / Laptop are on the decline. Cloud computing has emerged as a disruptive technology and a new category of companies has emerged: one that operates mostly over the internet based on “clicks” e.g. Amazon, eBay, and Google. Enterprises soon realized that they can’t afford to ignore this channel in order to stay ahead of their competitors.

According to a global study by 2016, 77 percent of enterprise IT delivery is expected to be cloud based in Asia Pacific, with 38 percent as private cloud, 22 percent as managed cloud and 17 percent as public cloud. Traditional IT will remain a key delivery model accounting for 24 percent.

Not only enterprises even other verticals are adopting cloud majorly. One such instance is of HP and Narayna Health, one of India’s leading healthcare providers were recently in news for joining hands to expand the number of HP cloud-enabled e Health Centres in India, to deliver quality, affordable healthcare services to more people living in the country’s resource-deprived locations. e Health centres are rapidly deployable healthcare facilities powered by HP’s cloud enabled solution.

To provide recognition to best cloud providers Gitex 2014 is presenting a unique opportunity while hosting largest cloud computing event “Cloud Confex” during Gitex Day 2 on 13th Oct’14 by celebrating cloud Awards, the region’s largest conference and exhibition.The winners will be selected in five distinct categories based on innovation, integration, functionality, value, usability and scalability credentials.

With the transformation that is happening due to Cloud computing, enterprises are looking upon the services of a skilled and trusted cloud integrator as a partner to help them configure the right mix of hardware and software that meets their business needs in the most cost effective manner without compromising on performance and security.
