"Cloud solutions have caught on really quickly in the local market,
but there isn'ta lot of information about how cloud solutions can be
best used. Our goal with this workshop was to educate the local business
community on the options that are available to them and the best
practices to transform their datacenters to increase efficiency and
effectiveness," said Tabriz Faizeen, Product Manager of Technology
Solutions at DMS Electronics.
Mathew Yeo, a Solutions Architect for Cloud Solutions in South East
Asia from Hewlett-Packard Singapore led the session on a CXO's
Challenges. The topics covered included identifying the most suited
cloud solution for an organization, optimizing the cloud computing
system to produce the best results, transforming pre-existing cloud
systems for better results, and the importance of customizing cloud
solutions for a perfect fit.
"Cloud service offerings have been available for a while but what is
significant today is that new technologies have made it more secure,
agile and cost effective, enabling any type of organization to embrace
it. With this technology, enterprises could offer their internal
services to external customers without many changes. In this context, HP
has the best building blocks for an open cloud-ready data center without
locking you down. HP's comprehensive cloud portfolio and expertise has
earned over 1000 cloud implementations across Asia Pacific up to
now,"said Mr. Shiran Perera, Country Manager of Hewlett Packard Lanka
(Pvt) Ltd.
The session also explored additional advantages of deploying a cloud
solution, apart from cost-reduction.According to a 2010 CIO Cloud
Computer Survey published by HP last November, an average of 18 percent
of the respondents' budgets were allocated towards cloud services with
plans for the investment of an average of $2.2 million in cloud-based
solutions in the ensuing year, further attesting towards the business
advantages offered by cloud computing.
Speaking further on the event, Mr. T.L. Chandranath - Managing
Director of DMS Electronics (Pvt) Ltdstated, "While cost reduction is
definitely considered to be the biggest advantage of cloud computing, we
wanted to highlight its other benefits to the local market such as the
model's flexibility, allowing rapid provisioning of services and
building of new applications". He further went on to say "Many of these
features often have a larger impact on businesses that implement cloud
solutions by supporting new products and services and generating
additional revenue."
