Kaytek is conducting ongoing Evaluation & Study of various Cloud Computing platforms - Software As A Service (SAAS) & Platform As A Service (PAAS) offered by Amazon, Microsoft Azure, Salesforce, Google App Engine. Microsoft Cloud Computing Platform. Microsoft Cloud Computing Azure Platform went commercially live in 21 countries including India from 1st February 2010. (6th February 2010 ) Microsoft's Azure Software is a new Operating System for Cloud Computing. It promises a completely new development environment for a cloud computing infrastructure running applications using Microsoft & other technologies. Kaytek Director Mr. Mahesh Khatri is 1st runner-up at Microsoft Tech-Ed 2009 Top Software Architect Contest. The solution involved Microsoft's Cloud Computing - Windows Azure OS & Services Platform. (16th May 2009)At the Professional Developer's Conference PDC 2008 , Microsoft had initiated serious moves in the Cloud Computing World. The release of their Windows Azure Operating System for the Cloud Platform as well as the Model Driven Development - Oslo Platform is in line with their earlier stated twin objectives of providing world class development tools to software vendors for both on-premise and hosted applications. Application Software vendors now have an additional Cloud Computing platform in addition to the earlier launched Amazon Web Services and Google Application Engine Cloud Computing Initiatives. Since Microsoft already has a substantial presence in the Desktop Arena both for Application Development Tools and End User Office Productivity Software Solutions, they have a tremendous edge as compared to other vendors. Familarity of User Interfaces amongst End Users and Extension of Integrated Software Development Suite Knowledge amongst programmers will help overcome the leap from on premise to hosted solutions.

Cloud Computing is a critical development for India's economy at this stage when most of the developed countries have slid into a deep painful recession. |
It will help India's many innovative start-ups to create useful Internet based software applications for our growing population of computing and mobile users. Amazon Cloud Computing offers Computation, Storage & Messaging Services available on a low as you consume (either computing time expressed in units of machine hours or storage as per disk resources consumed) unit basis for a range of operating system platform (Windows & Linux variants) combinations. Google App Engine allows you to utilize their web Infrastructure to store your software applications (written using the Python programming language). You just need to have a Google email account. The promise of a zero hardware cost web scale infrastructure (Free Upto 5 Million page views per month for Google App Engine Users) along with Indian language computing initiatives (e.g. Google's Indic Transliteration Services) will spur computing usage innovations. It is our understanding that the above computing infrastructure offerings of these giants such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft to enterprises & mass consumers will help immensely in raising India's IT competitiveness. The commoditization of the IT industry's hardware offerings has just begun. But it promises to deliver a rich set of web based anytime anywhere Web based applications accessible both from Computers as well as Mobile Devices to large numbers of consumers in India. Once the Cloud Computing Based Global Security & Legal Issues get clearly understood, it will be a transformational sea change for the Indian IT industry. The challenges of Cloud Computing are many - Reliability, Confidentiality, Security. There are also major operational data integration issues connecting Cloud Based Hosted Solutions & On premise software applications.
