Cloud Insights ACCA Cloud

2 Oct 2013 @accacloud -- In this episode, ACCA asks: Do we still need to pitch for Cloud in Asia? Is it a good idea to run Centers of Excellence for Cloud in enterprises? What is the value proposition in Private PaaS? How far are we from IT-in-a-Box for enterprise?

18 Sep 2013 - In this episode our discussion revolves around the impact of Cloud Computing on Innovation. AWS's Kingsley Wood shared with us a number of examples of the innovative ideas leveraging on Cloud. We also talked about DevOps and the future of Cloud in Asia.

We ask Hakim Karim, the co-founder of GridMarkets -- should startups locate in Asia, given globalization? What does Asia offer to startups? And also, what on earth is this notion, "time as a service"?

How does a technology migration to public cloud work, especially for banking and financial services in Asia? Where does a company start? We speak with Nicholas Weston, who has lived that journey, and what processes an organisation would need to follow in order to make the digital move from a local, on-premise IT setup, to cloud computing solution.

We discuss what cloud computing is and what it is not, and how to distinguish real cloud offerings from the fake.
