In the initial two years, what we for the most part witnessed were early conformers, those who without delay understood the significance of the cloud and its prospects for the future industry. For a start most of the appliers were what could be referred to as the obvious patrons, like clients for Web hosting or application hosting. But it was also the influx of the financial sector companies doing financial modelling mock-ups, that they burn the midnight oil for , so by the next morning when the markets unbolt, they have an exact and fortuitous data needed to trade in forex efficiently; that’s a very intensive task at hand and requires computational capacity of ample kind and possibly does could do with thousands of servers. They understood that the more computational prowess they used, the better and more precise results they would be at their perusal; so they came to terms with a novel approach to utilize the cloud to their benefits.
Hollywood too without more ado appreciated that cloud computing could do well to get all those annoying directors off their backs, who to the team’s chagrin would want to make changes in the movie and that too at the last moment when they heave a sigh of relief . Movies generally have an assortment of rendering. In the beginning you would be just standing in and having the frontage on the background of a jade screen, but suddenly the pyramids of giza are morphed in. A frequent prototype is that they prepare ahead of the production on who gets to use Hollywood’s computational resources and the duration of use. As is observed in many instances for once the movie might be made all set for premiere, but as capricious as they are till the very last moment, the directors still may want to add in or clip away some of the footage. But as the schedule goes , the next movie is already in for being processed and there is but limited capacity for computation, so cloud services come in handy in such cases of spillover.
Coming to the oil and gas industry, which all the time gets a lot of logical, geographical, seismic , statistical and in general employee data to route, is over and over again on exceedingly high-priced HPC farms. Although They pride themselves in their stratagem and ability to plan much ahead than conventional organizations, there is no say in case of an emergency; out of the blue a remote drilling platform offshore may tumble over and there would be a lot of new-fangled seismic data to be instantaneously analysed, with no disruption of ongoing processes. So they move the spillover to the cloud services. But we do find, to our utter surprise that in many of these environments where at first the cloud was used for spillovers, they begin to become conscious that perhaps it would do them a world of good if they should take their chances with the cloud because for one reason that outweighs all, it is by far more cost effectual than the other alternatives.
It wasn’t long before the leading cloud service providers came to terms with the facts that India is a remarkable market. A plethora of firms , entrepreneurs and solitary customers in India have been using Amazon Web Services (AWS) for quite a long while. The figure pertaining to the number of entrepreneurs using AWS is exponentially increasing. Everyone is looking for frugal (low cost) solutions to get a head start in their respective niche and the cloud is a one stop solution to all their woes. The SME sector in India is moderately prosperous. Well as far as the annals go it is odious that they never ,if truth be told had access to reasonably priced software.
One of the foremost customers of cloud servies in India is -Hungama.which for the better part of its operations bases eighty percent of its websites and applications on AWS infrastructure. There is some local processing and content creation that they still keep in the local domain, but over the course of time even that minutiae which they feel uncomfortable to hoist as of now , may be transferred to the Web.
One of the most frequent doubts customers have before opting for cloud services is as many of you might have already guessed , “Security”. Security is not a new concern that hopped in out of nowhere, it is a part and parcel of every customer’s train of thought before entering uncharted waters.. The keen sense of security is instinctively and habitually hammered into our mindset right from our nascence. Many a times it is at an poignant level, sometimes it progresses to fear – often due to reports of mishaps in media, but when it escalates to dreadful sense of the loss of control ; there is seldom a way to go back to square one.
So, it is of primal essence that whenever a customer has uneasiness about the security of the service , and then provider is at his wits end as there’s no rationale behind it ; They can offer the customers to have a look at the security measures they take for their own applications, and show them that they can use those exact same measures in the cloud for addressing their insecurities.
