Bright days for Cloud Computing

  Hemant S Shah, ASEAN Executive, Infrastructure Business, System & Technology Group,

IBM ASEAN
   
  The buzz around Cloud Computing has picked-up faster than any other "new" idea in computing in recent times. The good part is that it is real, and delivering the benefits claimed, and the not so good part is that many repackaged ideas are being labeled as Cloud Computing in absence of a clear definition from any academic or industry source. This session will present the various interpretations of Cloud Computing, and what are the reality checks for customers excited by the perceived benefits of Cloud Computing. As it often happens, there are instances of technologies looking for a problem to solve, and the key player: the applications are forgotten in the rush to promote.

11.50 am Strategic thinking behind Software+Services

Aaron Tan Dani, Chairman,

IASA APAC
   
  The IT industry has historically been defined by a series of periodic, transformative shifts in the way people think about computing and we are in the midst of another services transformation. If you think about some of the key innovation vectors happening in technology today, the move toward service orientation is the comon denominator. Software as a Services (SaaS) for example is really just service delivery, while SOA is really just Service composition. There is also Web 2.0, about the social and collaborative experiences made possible through services on the web and how those exposures are monetized. Finally, the use of the word "Smart" in all aspects of technology. For instance, Smart Client & Smart Phone is the channel of delivery for application and contents that can also leverage on the promises that IT supposed to deliver thru connected experience by leveraging the best of Software and Services worlds service technology. This session will deliver the strategic thinking behind the Software+Services Architecture for the enterprise
