A Novel Term Weighing Scheme Towards Efficient Crawl Of International Journal of Computer Engineering and Applications, Volume V, Iss II, Feb 14 EMERGING TRENDS IN INDIAN CLOUD COMPUTING MARKET Haseena Rahmath P1, Prof.Saoud Sarwar 2 1 M.Tech scholar, Department of Computer Engineering Al-Falah School of Engineering, Dhauj, Haryana, India 2H.O.D, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Al-Falah school of engineering, Dhauj, Haryana,India ABSTRACT: Last few years, cloud computing is a hot topic in IT industry. Cloud computing offers a great flexibility to the end user such as pay per usage scheme, minimum information technology overhead, on-demand services and various other things. India is a global leader in providing IT services but in India people have a restricted access to resources which open an emerging cloud computing market in India. With cloud computing, people can access their data and software virtually based on usage-based pricing scheme, so they don’t want to purchase costly hardware and software. People only require simple input and output devices and an internet connection. Entrepreneurs, Universities and Government can do their services without acquiring a mass computation power. This paper discusses various opportunities and challenges in Indian cloud computing market and the major cloud computing service providers in India. It attempt to understand the major sectors where the cloud computing has been adopted and major challenges involved in the adoption of cloud computing. It also discusses various future prospects of cloud computing in India. Keywords: Cloud computing, future prospects, service providers, adoption, challenges [1] INTRODUCTION India is a global leader in providing IT services. Indian Cloud Computing market is growing each day. In India, people have a restricted access to resources to enfold innovation. The infrastructure has always been a problem for the country. With cloud computing on hand, people don’t have to worry about the expenditure associated with costly hardware and software required for storage and maintenance of data. [1.1] WHAT IS CLOUD COMPUTING TECHNOLOGY? Cloud Computing technology provides IT related resources like computing, platform, network, storage, application, system security as a service. With Cloud computing, people can access to their data and software on the go, with simple input and output devices as well Haseena Rahmath and Prof. Saoud Sarwar 29 EMERGING TRENDS IN INDIAN CLOUD COMPUTING MARKET as an internet connection. There is no need for large and expensive hard-drives and processors capable of operating them. People don’t need to worry about data loss and the large amount of space required for storage of huge data. These services follows Usage-based pricing model, which is familiar to us such as mobile bill, electricity bill, internet bill, etc. In this, we don’t need to pay anything extra. Hence, the research and development needs of the country can be easily achieved through the inexpensive solutions offered by cloud computing. The most common cloud computing service models are IaaS, PaaS and SaaS. In Infrastructure as a service (Iaas), the Infrastructure such as storage servers or application server is accessed over internet on rental basis instead of using them by purchasing and installing it.In Platform as a service (Paas), a platform that is used to develop a software application can be accessed over internet on rental basis instead of purchasing and installing it on our server or system. In Software as a service (SaaS), software application can be accessed over internet on rental basis instead of purchasing and installing it on our system. Common cloud computing deployment models are: public cloud, community cloud, private cloud and virtual public cloud. Public cloud required significant investment. It can be used by any one. Generally large organizations like Google, Microsoft and Amazon owned them. Generally a group or organization, mainly research based organization, built community cloud, so that they can share information themselves. In community cloud, anyone outside of the specific group could not access information from this cloud. An organization can exclusively use or access private cloud. The private cloud can be maintained by the organization itself, or by any third party. Hybrid cloud or virtual private cloud is the Combinations of both private and public clouds. [2] CLOUD COMPUTING MARKET IN INDIA India has an excellent potential and future for cloud computing. India is the second largest user of Mobile in the world and it has the highest rate of adoption for mobile devices, which attracted big players in Indian mobile market. Similar to the mobile era, the Cloud Computing would be the next big buzz word. Cloud Computing is totally web-based. Currently the internet service is very poor in rural India. The moment internet service become wide spread, the accessing /need of cloud become more important. 30 International Journal of Computer Engineering and Applications, Volume V, Iss II, Feb 14 Provider Name Base Location Cloud Offering Cloud Type TCS India ITaaS IaaS + SaaS Reliance Data Reliance Cloud Computing Center India Services IaaS+SaaS+PaaS Wipro Technologies India Wipro w-SaaS SaaS Infosys Bangalore, Cloud based Solution for Auto Technologies India Sector SaaS Netmagic CloudNet,CloudServe, Solutions Mumbai, India PrivateCloud Iaas Zenith InfoTech Mumbai,India PROUD IaaS IaaS + on Demand Cynapse India Mumbai, India Cyn.in SaaS OrangeScape Chennai,India OrangeScape Cloud PaaS Synage Mumbai, India DeskAway SaaS Wolf Frameworks Bangaluru,India Wolf PaaS PaaS Source: compiled from respective companies web sites. [3] ADOPTION OF CLOUD BY VARIOUS ENTITIES Cloud computing benefits to every segments of India’s economy including SMEs, education system and the Government. The Adoption rate of the cloud technology in the Indian public sector is on fast pace. Some noteworthy adoptions of cloud systems are the following: E-governance: The State Government of Jammu & Kashmir has adopted cloud computing for its e-governance services. These services include cloud based ration cards, birth/death certificates, and recruitment services for citizens. In order to roll out these services, the spare infrastructure from the data centers in Madhya Pradesh was used. The use of this cloud computing model allowed the Government to actually implement these services in the extremely small time frame of just 60 days. In addition, there were practically zero initial costs incurred. Implementations such as the one in Jammu and Kashmir are indicative of adoptions in the future. Education system: The Delhi Public School has over five thousand students and three hundred staff members. For easier and faster school wide messaging solution, DPS is using Microsoft’s Live@edu service. This cloud service improved both the intra-school communication and the parent teacher communication. By cloud computing, the schools, colleges and universities can focus on their research and development, without worrying about the resources required for such activities. Hence they can embrace latest innovation at an affordable price. SMES: Indian SMEs are the key benefiters of cloud computing. SMEs are playing an important role in industrial economy of the country. The Fourth Census of the SME Sector Haseena Rahmath and Prof. Saoud Sarwar 31 EMERGING TRENDS IN INDIAN CLOUD COMPUTING MARKET indicates that this sector employs 59.7 million persons over 26.1 million enterprises [2]. SMEs contribute towards 45 percent of the manufacturing output and 40 percent of the total export of the country [2]. SMEs use online websites such as eBay and Amazon to sell their products domestically and abroad. SMEs software necessities are not much complicated. SMEs can easily outsource these IT requirements to a cloud provider and focus on their core business. In near future, by adopting Cloud Computing, people can run their office at home with their business on cloud. New Start-up-companies don’t required to invest money on IT infrastructure at the beginning .They can acquire the infrastructure as their business grows. Large Companies: Sterlite Technologies play a key role in providing transmission solutions for telecom and power industries. When manageability and cost value for an on premise messaging solution become a major concern, Sterlite decided to opt for cloud service . Earliar they had been using a non-cloud, on premise solution for the majority of their employees. Sterilite moved more than 1000 employees to the Google cloud solution. There are many other large companies that have moved to Google’s cloud. Indian call center: The Indian call centers also extensively benefited from cloud based services. They got benefits in the form of low personnel costs, facilitation of teleworking for the local call center staff, and the handling of email, instant messaging, and fax queries using the same portal. India being a call center destination for the biggest US and European companies, cloud computing and its applications have an important role to play in this market. [4] WHAT IS INHIBITING ADOPTION OF CLOUD COMPUTING IN INDIA? The main factors that restrict the adoption of cloud computing are the following: 1) Possible downtime. The reliability of internet connection is major issues while we put our small business on cloud environment. When the internet connection is down then we are become offline. The most reliable cloud computing service providers even suffer server outages now and then. 2) Security issues. How much safe the data that we put in the cloud? Cloud computing in other words we can say internet computing. So whatever we are putting on cloud is that we are putting on internet. So if we have applications that involves some data that we are not comfortable having on internet then we should not use cloud computing on such applications. The most reliable established cloud computing providers’ claim that they have the most sophisticated data security systems, since data security is a big concern to all and any one can utilize it in their business. As the small business is concerned, transferring their business to cloud would improve the security, since the small business could not afford the expense of implementing its own servers.

  • The Cloud Changing the Business Ecosystem
    The Cloud Changing the Business Ecosystem kpmg.com/in Foreword Technology has always played the role of a disruptive force that somehow connects discontinuities and changes business models, ecosystems, or even the world order. Paradoxically, it has sometimes created a level playing field, and at times 'unfair' advantages for some countries or enterprises. This is evident all through out history right from the stone-age, to the industrial revolution, to the silicon era, to the internet/dot com age and to the current age of convergence/mobility. Technology could transform the world into the virtual space, enabling endless cycle of innovation. Advanced economies like US, UK, Germany, and Japan have been at the forefront of combining innovation and technology. This has enabled them to become superpowers that have the economical, defensive and financial muscle. Same has been the case with enterprises like IBM, Microsoft, Google, Apple, Siemens, Sony, CISCO, Nokia, etc. At the same time, it has created a level playing field with the rise of telecommunications and the internet. This leveling has helped in creating emerging leaders like India and China who are leveraging favorable demographics with technology. Technology is often a savior during the downward economic cycles as it enables the creation of more efficient business models and ecosystems. Ironically, sometimes it also leads to economic downturns as the euphoria over technology powered business models cause unrealistic expectations in the capital markets, creating bubbles which inevitably burst for e.g. the dot com burst. The Cloud is another such phenomenon that has stirred up interests and investments in many parts of the world.
