India – The Emerging Cloud Computing Providers Marketplace
Cloud computing, the new buzz word in software industry and business world, is driven by the marketing strategies of corporate giants from the service sectors. With a place in the industry along with grid computing, virtualization and utility computing, ‘cloud’ for the layman refers to a large networked environment with higher-level service capabilities to build applications. As the cloud computing sector goes, the growth of cloud computing in India is showing an upward trend and will turn out as a major cloud-computing provider in years to come.
The dedicated servers in India such as web servers, mail servers, application or database servers, or corporate intranets, all work towards providing state-of-the-art infrastructure with multiple fast connectivity, 24/7 support, customizable plans and service level agreements (SLAs). Small and medium enterprises who cannot invest in their own data centers and dedicated hosting servers can take advantage by using the services provided by these data centers. This is so because in cloud computing, multiple servers are used as a single platform through a digital network. Under a secured environment, one is given access to a range of applications and tools, thus reducing the cost of IT operations. Opting for a customized private cloud will facilitate setting up a fully managed, dedicated environment for the business.
An impressive future for cloud computing in India has been forecast by most of the research analysts through various surveys. These surveys show that the growth of digital data in India would range from 40.000 petabytes in 2010 to 2.3-million petabytes in 2020 which would make the companies look out for methods to curb operational costs. This would leverage the usage of cloud computing facilities. Studies conducted have shown that with the speed at which the Indian companies are turning to cloud computing services, a majority of IT companies would be running on cloud in the next four years. Further Indian cloud computing market would have a growth of 40 percent, would create nearly 100,000 additional jobs and achieve a $4.5-billion market by 2015 and be one of the major cloud computing providers.
The maturing market of Cloud computing in India showcases the benefits of the services. In a globalized business environment, cloud computing provides for increased data storage, mobility, flexibility and a reduction in costs through highly automated systems. This makes it possible to access technology quickly and to offer immediate solutions paving way for the government organizations and large corporate to concentrate on innovations.
