The Cloud

10

“The cloud has flattened IT the way networks flattened the world.”

Cisco’s Vice President of Engineering Vivek Mansingh, 2012

11

“Gartner forecasts public cloud services to be worth $109 billion this year, while the

EU expects the cloud to add as much as $206 billion to annual GDP between

now and 2020.”

12

“At year-end 2016, more than 50 percent of Global 1000 companies

will have stored customer-sensitive data in the public cloud.”.

Gartner Prediction 2012

13

“Public and private IT cloud services will generate nearly 14 million jobs worldwide by 2015.”

IDC, March 2012

Change

15

Change! In Software Industry

It's not just a platform change. You can't charge the same amount.It's changing your world.

Source : 3 ways big software companies may fail in the cloud:

16

Software Applications Today

Support large number of users

Run on any devices

Location is no longer important

Require high scale servers / storages; more complicate hardware

Need to develop high scale applications; more complicate architectures

17

Cloud Computing : SaaS

Gmail

Google Apps

Dropbox

Salesforce.com

Zoho

Microsoft Office 365

Etc.

18

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

Less customer loyalty

19

Mail Servers / Solutions

20

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, etc.

21

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.

Cloud Integration

Cloud services are becoming more integrated and business friendly:

– Microsoft Azure + PHP + Java

– Force.com + Heroku + Spring

– Amazon Web Services – EC2, S3

– Google App Engine

– Exo IDE

Issues of Cloud Services in Thailand

Lack of awareness // Misunderstanding about Cloud Computing

Security issue

Low Broadband/Internet Access

Data Protection

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

33

Opportunities for Software Industry

Less investment for startup

Physical location is not a constraint: Cloud is borderless.

Faster time to market > Innovation

Wider distribution channel
