Movie Cloud: Will It Democratise The Film Industry? The first thing to really change independent film was the DSLR. Personally I have made a movie on a Canon 60D. It is a stills camera that shoots HD, cinema-quality film. The independent film route is a hard and brutal road which has practically no money in it. Or is it? Hollywood legend Dov Simens has launched the Movie Cloud with Derek Christopher (president of TV/Film Seminars). But what is it? Simens says it will revolutionize the way independent films are produced, distributed, and consumed. Simens and Christopher consider Hollywood to be

The Challenge For Cloud Computing Consumers are driving cloud adoption far faster than enterprise IT can accept. Analytically speaking, consumers are driving this incredible rate of change for enterprise employers. The challenge one faces is that cloud computing is leading an enormous change in the enterprise IT environment, which can broadly be called the “consumerization” of IT, and this phenomenon has somehow to cater for the needs of consumers. The problem that follows this “consumerization” prodigy is that while consumers are wandering around with their personal clouds in their pockets, a whole lot of that cloud belongs to someone else;

Africa: Cloud Computing’s Secret Weapon Cloud computing’s best opportunity for unparalleled progress and worldwide relevance lies in how deeply and effectively it penetrates the African information technology community. Point blank. Why is this so? Simply because the massive continent remains in the dark ages of technology of all sorts, a condition which has fostered as many difficulties in thwarting this lack of progress as it has defined Africa as a potential gold mine for the cloud computing set. Reconnaissance of Africa’s technologically stunted growth provides vital context. As the African Studies Center at the University of Pennsylvania concludes, “Africa seems

Spreading Prosperity Through Cloud Computing In the wake of the recession, bankers have got a lot of flak by betting on dodgy investments while still managing to make million-dollar bonuses. However, there’s no denying that banking, especially of the retail variety, is a necessary ingredient of society. In poorer areas of the world where retail banking services are absent, cooperative banks have sprung up to meet this need. And cloud computing is having an impact there. Wikipedia defines cooperative banks as follows – “Like credit unions, cooperative banks are owned by their customers and follow the cooperative principle of one

A recent study by Indian IT consulting giant Tata Consultancy Services, a company that is doing groundbreaking work in this field (See: InstaCompute: Simple & Instant Cloud Computing) and featured prominently in an earlier article about the growth of cloud computing in India (See: Is India The Next Cloud Computing Superpower?), has revealed that companies in Latin America (LatAm) and Asia-Pacific (APAC) far outrun Europe and the US
