Q20). What is the difference between cloud computing and mobile computing
#TheRightCloudInfra
Anand
There is no comparison between the two.
v.sendil kumar
I think both are different..any data storing on cloud is cloud computing even mobile data too can be on cloud.
Pooraan
mobile is part of cloud
Lαvísh Kumar
In how years do you think cloud enabled infrastructure will have its say in the Indian market #TheRightCloudInfra #CrowdChat #therightcloudinfra
Anand
In my view we are already seeing tremendous shift towards cloud. I would be surprised if there is large organisation which is not on cloud
Pinki
@chikka2203 "A disaster can happen anytime", so how fundamental are Cloud protection solutions and services in dealing with disaster recovery?
Prateek Sinha
what do you feel with regards to Indian enterprises willingness to switch from traditional server based infra to cloud enabled infra ? #TheRightCloudInfra #CrowdChat ‬
Pooraan
i can see management mindset is changing nowdays, and most of the managements preferred choice is cloud
Prateek Sinha
How many years do you foresee before India is made a almost complete switch over to cloud ?
Anand
Switch to cloud is happening very fast
Prateek Sinha
I personally feel you are optimistic on that. i would say 5-7 years.
Dharmesh Paul
Definitely there is a shift in the mindset of Indian organizations to adopt cloud. It is going to be a gradual process since many will be left out if they dont choose to do it now.
Anand
Almost every organisation has started considering cloud, whether Private, hybrid or Public.
Prateek Sinha
That is great news

Question 3 is here now. #crowdchat
Q3. How does adoption of a cloud enabled infrastructure model accelerate digital transformation?
Amit Jaokar

(1/4) Cloud adoption makes it easy for businesses to scale up or down according to their operation, compute and storage requirements.
Amit Jaokar
(2/4) It eliminates the need to upgrade resources as these are provided by the hosting service, easing the process of scaling.
Amit Jaokar
(3/4) Cloud integration provides interoperability. As systems move to the cloud, they become far more compatible with other systems.
Amit Jaokar
(4/4) Tools such as data analytics and enterprise mobility are available as part of the cloud package and can be used to take a business to the next level.
Dharmesh Paul
(1/5) Adoption of cloud will enable businesses to reduce the operational expenses by offloading the infrastructure totally while paying only for the service.
Dharmesh Paul
(2/5) Scalability both upwards and downwards will help businesses in faster deployments and releases and building distributed development teams.
Dharmesh Paul
(3/5) Administrative and maintenance activities like periodic software upgrades, licenses renewals, data backup are no longer required to be handled by your in-house IT teams,
Dharmesh Paul
(4/5) enabling them to focus on designing and developing other critical projects and differentiating solutions which are business needs.
Dharmesh Paul
(5/5) The entire development, testing and implementation cycle can be executed more efficiently and quickly resulting in increased productivity due to the agility and collaborative work practices it provides.
Pooraan
(1/ 2) If we see, the digital transformation has many components in it like Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, IoT and ML, which requires dynamic compute, memory and other APIs.
Prateek Sinha
The ability to scale keeping in mind the data and costs, is I think one of the biggest advantages of cloud
Pooraan
(2/2) A cloud model helps us to move faster in this digital transformation journey.
Sanjeev Jain
(1/ 2) Cloud enabled infrastructure model can provide a fast, secure, reliable and future-proof path to digital transformation.
Sanjeev Jain
(2/2) The key is to choose a converged infrastructure platform that delivers maximum deployment, flexibility and lets us easily and quickly adopt new technology without having to re-architect.
Pooraan
@spokenatlast very true. there are many more benefits other than what you mentioned
v.sendil kumar
(1/ 4) When we bring a digital strategy there should be ease of doing business and customer requirement must be met instantly. So, for this transformation, cloud is an ideal option. Software applications and infrastructure are easily available on cloud.
v.sendil kumar
(2/2) When I need to test or do some R&D, I can use it temporarily and see how it is working and based on that I can take a call. I need not invest or buy and keep my software and resources idle if it does not suit
v.sendil kumar
(3/4) There are huge transformation of applications in recent period. As the configuration is increasing and changing, we need to spend more on CAPEX and keep monitoring the ROI instead use on OPEX so that we can pay based on the resource utilisation.
v.sendil kumar
(4/4) As resources are available easily on cloud I can increase or decrease accordingly. During month ends my resources can be highly provisioned and remaining days it can be reduced.
Anand
cloud enabled infra, reduces goto mkt time significantly. We are 100% on cloud currently
Vibhakar Bhushan
(1/3) Digital transformation is not just change of technology, it requires a mindset change, translate that into process change and to support it, change the underlying tech infra. The 1st 2nd must be done internally, since that is your core business
Vibhakar Bhushan
In order to do that well, letting the tech infra transformation can be entrusted to the cloud specialists. It is also convenient to make the technological jump onto current technology from possibly age-old setup…..
Vibhakar Bhushan
(3/3) As it allows you to stay current and activate new channels of communication, marketing, logistics without having to restructure the internal infrastructure
Srikanth Katuri
(1/4) Accessibility: Customers want access to decision making insights/channels from anywhere-anytime riding on cloud first/mobile first environment.
Srikanth Katuri
(2/4) Elasticity: to scale up and down your dev ops environment in the cloud is good at helping drive sandboxes for a “fail fast-innovate faster” agile practice.
Srikanth Katuri

(3/4) Automation: Automation of business IT processes can happen quicker using cloud in helping unclog your revenue stream.
Srikanth Katuri
(4/4) Use case: Maersk is using advanced analytics to streamline operations and a typical timeline to build such platform takes a year or so.
Amit Mehta
@vibhakarbhushan You are spot on. Its a culture change in people ,process & technology. Challenging the Status quo
Anand
When you short term requirements or might get spikes during certain period, cloud is most ideal. You expand on demand and then shrink
Amit Mehta
@chikka2203 Elasticity is indeed big. Function Based Cloud Deployments are fast emerging the new reality.
Amit Mehta
@chikka2203 Automation is the #1 priority for customers in India as per an IDC research
Prateek Sinha
From a security point of view, is cloud more vulnerable to attack and infiltration? #TheRightCloudInfra #CrowdChat ‬
Pooraan
i would say, yes and no both, if we dont follow security guidelines anywhere it is easy to attach
Prateek Sinha
yes, that is also correct, since how the business sets up the security guidelines will determine the vulnerability
Pooraan
its not cloud provider or infra provider, its cloud/infra management team/user, who makes mistake of not taking care of complete security
Prateek Sinha
how do we ensure the people managing it are trained properly. One of the biggest challenges would be human resource skilling in this field
Pankaj
Several faux pas in US IT Industry (incl. Richard Marcello) have exclaimed "cloud is a great way to save money by eliminating U.S. jobs & hiring workers in India to run cloud services instead."

Does this myth still needs to be broken?
#TheRightCloudInfra #CrowdChat @dellemcindia
Amit Mehta
its a myth. Cloud is a an operating model for agility , time to value and costs. Not only costs. Business Friendly CEOs and Govts understand how it impacts customer experience , citizen services and inclusion
Amit Mehta
the cloud operating model can be had both by on prem deployments and off prem
Lαvísh Kumar
Is digital advancement is the main reason to adopt cloud enabled infrastructure prior to the ones right now ‪#TheRightCloudInfra #CrowdChat ‬
Amit Mehta
@Cloud accelerates digital transformation as you can capture customer opportunities faster and drive revenue faster
Lαvísh Kumar
That would be the main highlight accelerates digital transformation #TheRightCloudInfra #CrowdChat #therightcloudinfra
Anand
Not really, need of cost optimisation is also driving cloud. When you have short term requirements for compute/storage e.g. month end load, festival season etc, cloud is most ideal.
