      <title>Cloud Computing Set to Revolutionise African IT Industry</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Cloud computing will have “a major impact on everything from agriculture to education” in Africa, according to the editor of one of the region’s most prominent online IT publications.</p><p>Bristol, Avon -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 02/08/2012 --  Abby Wakama, Publisher and Executive Editor for ITNewsAfrica.com, was discussing cloud&apos;s future on the continent in the build-up to presenting at the Cloud Computing World Forum Africa, to be held in Johannesburg on 8th May 2012.<br />
<br />
Despite the hype, cloud computing is still in the earliest form of adoption for many nations across the globe, with its potential being hampered by a number of infrastructure issues, such as broadband availability.<br />
<br />
And while these issues are most prominent across large portions of the African continent, Abby Wakama is confident that current changes being made will allow cloud services to have a huge role in improving regional business opportunities.<br />
<br />
"Cloud Computing is changing the way companies do business. It enables them to move from capital expenditure to operational expenditure, thus offering an affordable way to access services.<br />
<br />
"We are beginning to see the fruits of the proliferation submarine fibre optic cables that were laid in the last 2-3 years. The cost of broadband is dropping, there&apos;s a lot more competition, penetration is growing at an alarming rate; and African entrepreneurs are taking full advantage of this welcome development by providing apps and services that were impossible to contemplate just 5 years ago."<br />
<br />
Wakama will be moderating a panel at the upcoming Cloud Computing World Forum Africa entitled &apos;Commercial Risks and Opportunities&apos;, where the future of small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is likely to be a feature of much debate. Wakama believes vast changes are afoot, in respect to the African SME opportunity:<br />
<br />
"I see more SMEs thriving as the cost of doing business is set to drop drastically across Africa- and for many businesses bandwidth is increasingly becoming a major component of that cost. In addition, SMEs can buy access to IT resources from cloud providers on a pay-by-usage basis, and they only need a good Internet connection to remotely access the IT infrastructure that is located in the cloud provider&apos;s data centre.<br />
<br />
"Cloud computing will have a major impact on everything from agriculture to education, providing students with the opportunity to access educational material via the cloud, collaborate with peers internationally and it offers longevity to information by storing it in the cloud.<br />
<br />
"I am very bullish about the uptake of cloud technologies across the continent because of the rapid spread of broadband infrastructure, which can reduce some of the connectivity constraints that prevent [current] cloud uptake.<br />
<br />
The use of mobile cloud computing will also feature prominently on the conference agenda for the Cloud Computing World Forum Africa.<br />
<br />
The event will be taking place on the 8th May at the Sandton Sun, Johannesburg, and will feature a free-to-attend exhibition and workshop programme running alongside the paid conference theatre.<br />

      <title>Cloud Computing World Forum Highlights Vital Emerging Market</title>

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">When the Cloud Computing World Forum stops off in Mumbai, India on 12th October, it will play host to organisations and delegates involved in one of the fastest-growing markets in the IT sector</p><p>Mumbai, India -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/07/2011 --  According to a study by Zinnov Management Consulting, the Cloud Computing industry in India is said to currently be worth around $400 million, but is predicted to reach a hefty $4.5 billion by 2015.<br />
<br />
The rapid adoption of this new technology correlates with a boom in the Indian SME sector, which is quickly taking to cloud-based services due to the minimal operational costs involved. The technology enables SMEs to make smaller, manageable &apos;pay-per-use&apos; payments rather than large up-front capital investments.<br />
<br />
With such a huge increase in adoption on the horizon, the Cloud Computing World Forum India will help distil the myths about this new technology and provide delegates with a clear understanding of how best to adopt it. <br />
<br />
The agenda is broken down into the ABC of Cloud Computing, focusing on Approach, Build and Connect – three core topic areas. Key speakers confirmed for this event include:<br />
<br />
- Biji Varughese, Head of IT, McDonalds India – West &amp; South<br />

<br />
One of the UK&apos;s largest airports, Birmingham International recently took the leap into cloud computing by virtualising their server estate under the guidance of Mr Smith. This switch was undertaken to improve efficiency, lower costs and bring the airport back into a position of growth; so far proving a fruitful move.<br />
<br />
At the forum, Mr Smith will be presenting a case study entitled &apos;Birmingham Airports Virtualisation Project,&apos; which will touch on why his organisation made the move to virtualise and why others can too, the process required to move a business into the clouds, and the outcomes and results. The case study will take place in the Build Theatre on Day Two of the conference.<br />
