Cost-saving potential of cloud computing highlighted
The Irish Software Association (ISA), in association with iQuest and the NDRC, today hosted the inaugural Cloud Computing Summit in Croke Park, Dublin, devoted to highlighting cheaper ways for businesses to acquire and use this pioneering technology. The summit focused primarily on the technical aspects of cloud computing and the economic basis for it.
Speaking at the event, ISA Director Paul Sweetman said: "From the largest organisation to the smallest, cloud computing has the potential to not only reduce ICT complexity but also to cut costs. It is predicted that by 2012 80% of the Fortune 1000 companies will be using some form of cloud computing services.
"In today’s climate companies are looking at every avenue to reduce technology-based capital expenditures, cloud computing is one way in which companies can make their businesses more efficient.
"A recent survey showed that 53% of internet users involved with any kind of Software as a Service (SaaS) application found that their overall costs amounted to only a fraction of what it would cost them to run their own systems."
Cloud computing is an emerging computing model whereby users gain access to their applications from anywhere, through any connected device. In general the term denotes anything that involves delivering hosted services over the internet. These services are broadly divided into three categories: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
Microsoft adds Facebook to Outlook 2010
Outlook 2010 will be able to pull in feeds and contacts from Facebook, LinkedIn and MySpace using its Social Connector.
The Outlook Social Connector (OSC), announced at the end of last year, brings in content such as contacts and social networking into Microsoft's e-mail client.
Microsoft said the LinkedIn beta was now available, and announced new deals that would see Facebook and MySpace follow suit. Microsoft's own Windows Live will also integrate with Outlook.
LinkedIn for Outlook lets users view details and photos of contacts from the site right in the e-mail system, as well as pull in updates from the social networking site to keep contacts up to date.
The Facebook and MySpace systems will pull status updates and photos into Outlook, and let users add friends without leaving their e-mail.
Microsoft said those connectors will be available "later this year" before the expected June arrival of Office 2010.
"The goal of the OSC is not to create another social network or set of privacy settings for you to manage, but rather to bring the networks you already value and use to the Outlook experience," Microsoft said in a blog post.
