How Will Cloud Computing Impact Industry?

IT Infrastructure will change dramatically

Some IT jobs may vanish altogether. New skills will be in demand.

The way applications are developed, tested, deployed and continuously re-factored will undergo a change

The selling and licensing of applications will change too.

The architecture of applications will continue to evolve.

Data volumes will skyrocket.

18

IaaS Impacts!

IaaS is not just a normal hosting; it requires large investment on a data center.

Different architecture and business model.

Fewer large cloud data center in ASEAN will survive

Need to compete with big giants; Amazon, Google, Oracle, elc.

19

SaaS Impacts!

Software business model with change from licensing model to subscription (pay as you go)

Opportunity for SME

Cheaper software?

Software runs anywhere, anytime, any sdevice

Users can buy/ use software from anywhere without knowing the origin as long as they connected to the Internet

20

Cloud Computing Opportunity for SME

Use ICT for their business with low investment (no CAPEX; pay as you go)

Buy ICT as Services (subscription model) such as SaaS

Can focus on their business

Business Continuity

21

Issues of Cloud Services for SMEs

Lack of awareness // Misunderstanding about Cloud Computing

Security issue

Low Broadband/Internet Access

Data Protection

Limited local Cloud Service Providers; both SaaS (Application) and IaaS (Data Center)

22

PaaS Impacts!

Software development will shift toward the cloud.

Software company may develop their applications on public IaaS/Paas; Microsoft Azure, Google App Engines, Heroku, Amzaon S3

Require new skills

No boundary for selling softwares as long as your infrastructure is ready.

23

Perspective on Cloud Computing

Keeping pace with cloud changes

Need to improve ICT infrastructure: broadband, 3G/4G, Internet access

Building larger & more secure data center.

Improve regulation on data privacy & data security

Build awareness

Support from the government

Collaboration is the key; no-one can do all!!

Cloud Opportunity in Thailand

Smartphone sold more than 1M units/qtr; Tablets expect to be sold more than 2.5 M units in 2012

Large Enterprise start to invest in private cloud.

Public cloud services especially IaaS is in high demand.

Data Centers in Thailand start to offer IaaS

ISVs explore SaaS
