Indian enterprises going whole hog on Cloud adoption

India has just started to see a significant Cloud adoption by the enterprises and the Amazon Web Services (AWS), the Cloud arm of retail giant Amazon, is fast bringing in new services and capabilities to help both the existing customer base and new customers solve all sorts of fresh problems deliver enhanced experiences, a top company executive said here on Tuesday.

The company launched AWS Asia Pacific (Mumbai) Region with two availability zones in 2016 and has seen stupendous growth in adding new customers in the region.

"Over the last few years, we have brought an ever-expanding set of capabilities to our customers in India across industries - enterprises, governments and start-ups.

"In areas like Machine Learning (ML), data analytics, edge computing, services and so on, there's still so much to do and we are right on it.

There are still so many new opportunities for us to help organisations leverage the power of AWS Cloud," Ed Lenta, Managing Director, Asia Pacific, AWS, told IANS.

The Indian enterprises -- be it banking, insurance, e-commerce - are fast adopting Public Cloud and AWS platforms based on certain New-Age mantras that are adhering to.

"The first thing is a bold and compelling vision and a senior executive within that company who not only subscribes to that vision but also understands the importance of technology in that vision," said Lenta on the sidelines of the two-day AWS India Summit here that kicked off on Tuesday.

Next is to accept new organisational structures, build modern teams and adopt modern technology and architecture to support all of that.
