Grazed from PRWeb. Author: PR Announcement.
IEEE, the world’s largest professional organization advancing technology for humanity, today announced that the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) has formed the Cloud Computing Innovation Council for India through its Industry Connections program. The new council will serve as a “think tank” for propelling technological innovations across the cloud-computing ecosystem in India and other emerging markets.
“The council is very important to the adoption and deployment of cloud computing as India’s IT (information technology) infrastructure of choice,” said Srikanth Chandrasekaran, standards senior manager for IEEE India. “The government of India is already driving several cloud-computing projects under the guidance and leadership of the Department of Electronics & Information Technology (DeitY). To help further direct these programs, the council will provide proposals for standards, research, education initiatives and regulatory, legislation and policy recommendations to promote innovation that’s vital to the framework of this technology.”…

The vendor is working on building brand recognition, enabling partners through marketing initiatives and providing support through the sales process, said Nathan Adams, the company’s new North America channel chief.
That’s one big check for Big Blue. IBM won a federal cloud-computing contract with a maximum value of $1 billion, its largest such agreement with the U.S. government, according to an article on Bloomberg.com. The Interior Department awarded similar, 10-year pacts to nine other suppliers, including Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT), which also described the agreement as its largest federal cloud contract.
VMware brought out its new Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering, the vCloud Hybrid Service, to US customers several days ago. Now it has to persuade as many of them as possible — and foreign customers, too — that running certain applications in external data centers, or using those centers for testing, or backing up data, makes a world of sense.
