The cloud computing market in Asia is expected to quadruple by 2014, and be worth about US$4.2 billion.

\nThat is according to Dell, who wants a piece of the action.<\/p>\n

In the current fiscal year, the IT company has pledged to invest US$1 billion in technology solutions, such as cloud data centers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The way data is accessed is being revolutionized by cloud computing. With cloud computing, data can be retrieved via Internet applications.<\/strong> This removes the need for installation of on-premise software applications and corresponding license fees. <\/p>\n

Traditionally, major IT companies charge each user or each desktop an annual licence fee for the use of on-premise software.<\/p>\n

Andew Milroy, vice president of ICT practice (Asia Pacific) at Frost & Sullivan, said: “A lot of companies have found that very expensive. So what has happened is, certain types of software companies – Salesforce.com and Netsuite are pioneers of this – have started offering cloud alternatives that are deemed to be much more cost effective, scalable, flexible.” <\/p>\n

As more companies find it cheaper to store their data virtually, major IT companies will be forced to restructure their businesses.<\/p>\n

And this could give rise to cannibalization of their existing data storage businesses.<\/p>\n

Mr Milroy said: “What we have seen is the on-premise guys – like Oracle, SAP, Microsoft – thinking ‘how do we address this threat’ and they have all basically moved into offering cloud solutions that do displace a lot of their traditional on-premise business, or you could say, cannibalize it.”<\/p>\n

But Dell is confident that the cloud will bring a lift in terms of opportunities for them.<\/p>\n

This is because it will be offering open-architecture cloud solutions. This is compatible with companies which wish to use public clouds as well as those which prefer to use premise-based private clouds<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Paul Henri Ferrand, chief marketing officer of Dell’s consumer and small and medium business (CSMB) and president of Dell (Asia Pacific, Japan), said:<\/strong> “And the lift we see is of course in taking share by leveraging those disruptions in the marketplace, because what is happening is that the data centre is being re-architected and we do not have – compared to other companies – too much legacy in that field; we are coming up with our open solutions.”<\/p>\n

According to Dell, 60 per cent of chief information officers are planning to implement “some sort of cloud computing”<\/strong> in 2011, compared to only 20 per cent in 2009.<\/p>\n
