Huawei, together with Central World, provides the New Normal countdown live based on HUAWEI 5G + Cloud for an unforgettable New Year celebration…
Bangkok, 31 December 2020 To bring about a world-class New Year countdown phenomenon at Central World, one of the Worlds countdown landmarks, Huawei Technologies Thailand Co., Ltd., in collaboration with Central World Department Store by Central Pattana Public Company Limited, introduces the 5G + Cloud and VR technologies for people to join the New Normal countdown celebration from home as if they were virtually present at the Central World Bangkok Countdown 2021 A Symbol of Hope event.
This is the opportunity to provide a whole new experience in viewing fireworks as a symbol of the 2021 New Year celebration, and demonstrate the application of 5G technology to promote and restore an assurance to Thailands tourism during this challenging time. This technology not only upgrades the connectivity to ensure a more stable live-streaming with 8K high-fidelity based on HUAWEI 5G technology, but also provides an immersive experience through Virtual Reality or VR to promote tourism in the country like no other. Thai people may playback this memorable moment of celebration later on and for unlimited times via a variety of online channels available from Bangkok Post and its group and various media in Central World and other Central Plaza branches.
Huawei also collaborates with its partner, LETINVR, to provide the Cloud VR solution based on HUAWEI 5G + Cloud to realize the live countdown for the Central World Bangkok Countdown 2021 A Symbol of Hope event via VR in the best possible immersive manner. With VR glasses, people can experience the virtual countdown more realistically on 5G network. This Cloud VR introduces the technologies of cloud computing and cloud rendering into VR service applications. With the help of high-bandwidth and low-latency 5G networks, VR content is encoded and compressed by cloud computing and cloud rendering, and then transmitted to user terminals.
Immersive experience for virtual reality viewing with the maximum efficiency essentially requires the capability of the 5G + Cloud technology to rapid render VR 360-degree videos and high-speed data transmission between the cloud computing system and VR glasses on 5G networks. Huawei Cloud uses the powerful computing capability to render and store the content on the cloud before delivering the immersive VR experience to end users through high-quality 5G networks.
Mr. Abel Deng, Chief Executive Officer of Huawei Technologies Thailand Co., Ltd., said, This marks one of our prides at Huawei Thailand to support the Central World Bangkok Countdown 2021 event, as Thailands world-class countdown landmark. We believe that beside the fireworks integrated with the only big digital screen in Thailand, Thai people are now also to see how technology enrich the life and make the moment memorable together worldwide and with technology, the celebration can be repeated thousand times.
Huawei Thailand continues to push 5G technology forward in Thailand to accommodate the digital transformation. Tourism and service industry is one of the most significant industries for the country, as Thailand is one of the early adopters of the 5G technology in ASEAN. With the full technological integration and application, Thailand will effectively be upgraded to Thailand 4.0 which will bring about new business opportunities and beyond.
Huawei, as the leading technology company in ICT industry, will continue its collaboration with all partners to apply technology to overcome the challenges together, upgrade the tourism industry and provide full and continual support to Thailand towards becoming an intelligent country amidst the digital transformation and successfully becoming ASEANs digital hub. This reflects Huaweis vision to bring digital technology to every person, home and organization to drive the fully-connected intelligent world. concluded by Mr. Abel Deng.
Top cloud computing tips of 2020 – TechTarget
In addition to all the insanity that went on in the world in 2020, it was also a big year for IT, and cloud computing in particular. As the year comes to a close, it's time to reflect on our most popular articles from the last 12 months in hopes of learning something before the new year.
Review SearchCloudComputing's top cloud computing tips from 2020. Learn why these pieces resonated with our readers, as well as what their popularity says about the IT market and where it could be going.
Our top cloud computing tip of 2020 was an opinion piece that outlined the acquisitions AWS, Google and Microsoft should make to address weaknesses of their platforms. Joe Emison, IT expert and CTO of Branch Insurance, walked through the companies each one should acquire and why.
It's not surprising that so many of our readers were drawn to this piece -- any article critiquing the major cloud providers will catch an IT pro's eye. Cloud acquisitions tend to pique the interest of readers too, and Emison hit on some real areas of need on each platform, including complexity and app development.
IT pros might know a lot about many different services, but they don't know everything. This is especially true when they need to evaluate unfamiliar services across providers, which is where some of our top cloud computing tips of 2020 come in.
One of these articles dove into the similarities and differences between hybrid cloud offerings from AWS, Microsoft and Google. Hybrid cloud strategies have become the norm, but many organizations still need to determine which services best fit their needs.
IT analyst Chris Tozzi broke down three offerings: AWS Outposts, Azure Stack and Google Anthos. He compared them based on hardware choices, management level, supported services, multi-cloud support and vendor-agnosticism. If IT pros want help deciding which offering from the major public cloud providers meets their requirements, they ideally want an article that has most -- if not all -- options in one place.
Two other comparison stories also made it onto our list of top tips from the year. The first is an article that compares Azure Kubernetes Service and Azure Service Fabric for developers and administrators who want to know more about Microsoft's orchestration platforms.
The second is a less traditional comparison piece. Instead of diving deeper into a handful of services, this article simply matches hundreds of like services across AWS, Google Cloud and Azure. IT teams can't possibly keep tabs on all these offerings, so this piece struck a chord because it makes it easy to check what a specific tool or service is called on all three platforms.
Migration was a big cloud computing topic in 2020. Maybe within your IT bubble it seems like everyone is already in the cloud, but that's not necessarily the case. Two articles centered around cloud migrations made our top cloud computing list this year, and it's not a coincidence.
Enterprises that move to the cloud want to get it right, so they need to fully understand what they're really signing up for ahead of time. IT expert Brien Posey outlines this normally daunting process in three steps that can be used to determine whether to move on-premises workloads to the cloud.
Once an IT team decides the cloud is the best option, the next step is researching the common issues that arise as part of the move. Our second most popular cloud migration article focused on common problems that occur during the migration process.
In discussions with IT experts, journalist Alan Earls not only analyzes problems that can occur during a migration, but how IT teams can avoid them all together. With the help of multiple graphics, this article is a great point of reference for IT teams preparing for a smooth transition.
This article resonated with readers because it brings together two increasingly popular technologies.
Terraform is an open source tool for infrastructure as code, while Microsoft Azure continues to gain traction as the most likely public cloud alternative to AWS. By incorporating Terraform with Azure Pipelines, DevOps teams can automate the infrastructure deployments in their CI/CD setup.
This article is a step-by-step tutorial on how to deploy Terraform code in an Azure DevOps pipeline. It includes detailed instructions, cut-and-paste code options and images to ensure an IT pro's deployment is a success.
Rounding out our top cloud computing tips of 2020 is an article that explores the pros and cons of the technology we talk about so much on the site.
This article by Kurt Marko, engineer and technologist, brings us back to the basics and lists the advantages and disadvantages of cloud technologies. While the cloud seems to be taking over the IT world, the popularity of this piece illustrates that not everyone has jumped on board just yet.
Marko helps readers weigh the options for their business and evaluate if the positives are worth the negatives. No cloud or cloud service is perfect, but that shouldn't necessarily stop you from adopting this type of architecture.

Why 2020 will be marked as the golden age of cloud computing – ETCIO.com
By Amit Gupta
Eleven months ago, when technology enthusiasts did some crystal gazing, the world of cloud computing market was on standard growth trajectory. Things were going well-- enterprises were investing on cloud technologies, more workloads were moving to cloud and a few conventional industries were opening up to the inevitability of cloud. Nonetheless, there was nothing extraordinary until Covid-19 happened.
In many ways, the global pandemic has been a watershed moment for the technology industry. Technology and tech leaders were pushed right into the middle of action, where workforce distribution models were enabled, digital agendas were accelerated and some of the biggest shifts were facilitated almost overnight.
Digital emerges as the biggest cloud catalyst A recent survey conducted by Mckinsey brings out some surprising numbers. A large majority of the companies that took part in the survey said that they have accelerated the digitization of their customers, supply-chain interactions and their internal operations by three to four years, while the share of their digital or digitally enabled products has accelerated by seven years! This is a clear indication of how dramatically the pre-crisis pace of change has been disrupted in a matter of few months.
Digital has been at the core of global disruption that industries are undergoing. If we analyse progress in the last 6 to 10 months, the global pandemic compelled two biggest paradigm shifts in the way enterprises operatedone, the massive shift to work from home models and the second, the rapid adoption of digital channels and digital customer engagement models. Both these changes required technology leaders to rapidly acquire digital skills at organizational level.
Reorienting to the new normal with cloudLast few months have been a great learning experience for business and technology leaders. Well past the initial response phase, organizations now need to plan and prepare for recovery and subsequently for business growth. Technology leaders new mandate include building new capabilities that will help their organizations thrive beyond the crisis. They must also reduce costs significantly while at it. This balancing act, as a CIO catapults into a highly strategic role, requires them to look at a more stable, reliable and secure platform like cloud.
Cloud is thus very much at the center of organizations rebound strategies. Organizations that are higher up in the cloud adoption curve have already experienced the benefits of the platform while the pandemic necessitated radical changes. These organizations are directing their IT investments further towards cloud to protect and grow revenues in the new normal.
At the same time, some organizations were literally forced into adopting cloud models during the pandemic to stay afloat. Having seen how lack of an agile cloud platform can put a spoke in the wheel during adversities, these organizations are now heavily focusing on cloud. Both these categories of organizations are driving cloud investments in unprecedented ways in 2020 and well into 2021.
SummaryCynics are warning us that the spike in cloud investment is owing to the sudden shift to WFH and that it might fizzle out eventually. However, the fact is, many of the Covid-induced shifts are rather permanent in naturebe it WFH, remote learning, or digital.
The market realities in the next normal are likely very different from what businesses are so far accustomed to. There is, in all possibility, no return to the old normal. In the new world order, organizations must develop capabilities that help them respond to the unknown and embrace change with agility. 2020 has taught us that being Cloud-first or Cloud-smart is a prerequisite, and not really a choice.

Google is partnering with oil giant Aramco to access Saudi Arabia’s $10 billion cloud market – CNBC

Google will open a "cloud region" where it can provide its cloud services in Saudi Arabia via a joint venture with state-owned oil producer Saudi Aramco, as Covid-19 prompts a landmark acceleration in digital adoption across the Gulf.
"The collaboration taps into rapidly expanding cloud services demand in Saudi Arabia, which is forecast to reach a market opportunity up to $10 billion by 2030," Aramco said in a statement on Monday.
Aramco said the agreement with Google will deliver "high performance, low-latency cloud services to enterprise customers in Saudi Arabia" as warming relations in the region open the political space for U.S. technology companies to expand into the kingdom.
Google began negotiations with Saudi Arabia on the project in 2018, but talks reportedly stalled following the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi by state agents in the same year. Google Cloud is now moving ahead with plans to establish and operate a new cloud region in the kingdom. No financial terms were disclosed.
The technology agreement also shows Silicon Valley elites are comfortable doing public business with the regime, despite some concerns over Saudi Arabia's global role as an exporter of fossil fuels and its poor human rights record.
Google said its investment into Saudi Arabia will allow businesses to grow and scale their offerings in the kingdom. The deal also boosts its cloud computing business, which brings in more than $10 billion in annual revenue for its parent, Alphabet Inc.
Regional e-commerce firm Noon and social media platform Snap were named as customers.
"In order to deliver a positive user experience, it is important to put our infrastructure as close as possible to our customers," Karl D'Adamo, senior director for infrastructure at Snap Inc., said in a statement.
"With the new Google Cloud region in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, we will be able to securely deliver services to our nearby customers at higher speeds and with greater flexibility," Hisham Zarka, CTO and managing director at Noon said.
Google competes with Microsoft and Amazon in the growing cloud-computing market globally. Google currently operates in 24 regions with 73 availability zones, less than its primary competitors Microsoft Azure and market leader Amazon Web Services.
Amazon Web Services launched its first cloud region in the Middle East in Bahrain last year, servicing top tier local clients such as Emirati bank Emirates NBD and rideshare service Careem. Microsoft launched its offering in the United Arab Emirates around the same time, making Google a later entrant to the regional scene.
Saudi Arabia has been actively courting Silicon Valley, seeking foreign investment to bolster its ambitious Vision 2030 reform plans and diversify its oil-dependent economy. The kingdom already invests significantly in American technology firms via its Public Investment Fund.
The new infrastructure will accelerate Saudi Arabia's tech industry, which has one of the fastest-growing cloud adoption rates in the region, according to Oxford Business Group, which expects the new centers will boost usage further.

Saudi Arabia also marked a milestone last month following the crowning of the country's first tech unicorn. Saudi Arabia's STC Pay now plans to expand its financial services offering across the Gulf region, after achieving a billion-dollar "unicorn" valuation on the back of a deal with Western Union.
"The future of Saudi Arabia's business transformation and growth depends on its ability to successfully leverage cloud services," Ahmad Al Sa'adi, Aramco's senior vice president of technical services, said. It's thought the Google cloud solution would offer Saudi businesses increased access to artificial intelligence, smart analytics, data management, security and other Google services.
The growing tech ties in the Kingdom come amid reports Google was preparing to establish a fiber optic network that will connect Europe and India through Israel and Saudi Arabia. The project has the potential to link Saudi Arabia and Israel for the first time, in another sign of warming relations despite the two countries having no formal diplomatic ties.
The underwater cable project, called Blue Raman route, is said to be nearly 5,000 miles long and is expected to cost $400 million.
Saudi government authorities have not publicly given approval for the project. The Wall Street Journal, citing sources, said Google could seek support from telecom partners to finance the initiative and share infrastructure.
Google has also announced plans to launch a cloud computing center in Qatar, which has been subject to a regional blockade led by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt since 2017.

How Digital Transformation Starts with Software Development? – Web Hosting | Cloud Computing | Datacenter | Domain News – Daily Host News
The integration of digital technology into all business sectors is a digital transformation that changes fundamentally how you function and give clients valuation. It is true that the development of software is the underlying facilitator of digital transformation, so we will discuss this topic in the write-up.
The COVID crisis has influenced the what and how of the digital transformation agendas of businesses. For instance, take employees experience. As the perspective of workers has become a central subject within HR, it has gained a mixed acceptance in IT circles often stereotyped as spoiled employees expecting the latest consumer technologies in shoestring budgets.
Today the employees new technology perspective has gone from born to be to the only way work is performed with a significant majority of staff still remote. It then gets the problem-solving emphasis it undoubtedly needs for a long time.
The only solution that can drivedigital transformationwith software development is staying open to new technologies. Keep two factors in mind that enterprises require to adapt two things:
Software Developers must be able to continuously deploy new innovations. This involves a modern strategy and an upgraded platform to provide software rapidly. The secret to being competitive in this shifting market is open for new innovations, software specialists and business analysts believe. Current toolchains and prior expenditure in time and resources do not limit this preparation for improvement in systems that function properly today.
Thus the potential security of the whole enterprise continues with the corporation changing its technical role. Adopting and encouraging the diversity of emerging technologies would be crucial if a changing business climate is to remain important.
The first step is to formulate a plan to tailor your software development infrastructure to suit the needs of a truly digital age because the software is at the very center of this transition. Integrations would be necessary if a single value stream is to sustain while retaining a versatile approach to different technologies.
There are several software development skills if you are heading towards digital transformation. There are so many technologies, platforms, and languages that come to the market. The technology is massive. No matter whether youre an advanced engineer, you should know how to incorporate new technology and other technological aspects into your job in order to create a decent product or applications. The following are some technical skills you need to have to become a good programmer.
Every process of programming, when designing software or application, is important. A producer can use his brain at every level of the SDLC to guarantee that a decent product is well followed. It also allows the developer to take care early before coping with some sort of problem in the next phase.
Some advice is true regardless of the level of expertise, but also the advice depends on where you work. Being a beginner, its better to master the language, concepts, and tools and acquire further experience with various projects.
You can still strive and find ways to customize the code for readability, usability, and maintenance if you are an experienced software developer and therefore practice well-considered judgments on where time and money in your code should be focusestesting, improving performance, or other technological debt.
It is ridiculous to consider that this is the full and final set of skills a software developer wants to have a lot more, but this is a decent start. If your programming skills can be improved then it will be a much better opportunity for you heading towards digital transformation. Growing familiar with top technologies like python, data science, machine learning, etc. provides you with the benefit that businesses continually depend on mobile devices and pursue developers who can manage mobile operating systems.
Let nothing interrupt this initial inspiration for studying programming. Perhaps you get blocked by relying too much on reading first books or tools. It doesnt matter the first language. Learning to program well is necessary. Just start coding!
Learn multiple programming paradigms such as object-oriented programming, functional programming, reflective programming, etc. Believe it or not, your programming in one paradigm will improve after studying an alternative paradigm.
Expert tip:Start the journey of your digital transformation by choosing a simpler programming language likePython. It will help you to not give up in terms of power and expressiveness.
Let us know what will be your path towards digital transformation with software development! And if your journey is just beginning, make sure you keep the suggestions. Good fortune!

4 Cloud Stocks That Will Continue to Fly High in 2021 – Yahoo Finance
Cloud-based solution-providing companies are making the most of the battle against the pandemic, wherein mass gatherings are strictly restricted and people are being increasingly asked to work from home.
The shelter-in-place orders have fueled demand for remote project collaborations, video conferencing, online classes, data storage, gaming, and e-commerce shopping. Such services are easily available with the help of cloud computing technology.
Moreover, big data has become one of the biggest assets for the healthcare industry. Storing and managing an enormous amount of data are of utmost importance, and cloud computing firms are emerging as key players in this regard.
Additionally, growing usage of cloud-based services is aggravating security lapses, inducing risks of hacking and phishing mails in the garb of coronavirus as the subject content. Also, usage of own devices and equipment that are not properly configured or can be infected with malware during teleworking or accessing information to and fro from cloud raises possibilities of security breaches for enterprises. This is driving demand for cloud-based security service solutions.
With demand for cloud-based solutions growing, enterprises are turning to software companies for providing the digital infrastructure they need to keep up with the online world.
Considering the healthy growth prospects of cloud-focused tech companies, it makes sense to invest in this space for long-term gains.
Lets, thus, take a closer look at some of the notable cloud stocks that not only benefitted from this growing reliance on technology in 2020 but are also poised to keep gaining next year.
The Trade Desk, Inc. TTD is a provider of technology platform for advertising. The company is benefiting from the momentum in programmatic ad buying. In addition, the emergence of digital content boosted the usage of this companys inventory across all forms of ConnectedTV (CTV). Moreover, recovering ad demand and spending scenario is anticipated to fuel the top line.
Story continues
Markedly, digital ad spending surpassed traditional media buying last year. Additionally, citing reports of eMarketer, WNIP revealed that the digital ad market is estimated to reach $225 billion by 2024 in the United States alone, up from this years nearly $150 billion. This gives The Trade Desk plenty of room to expand, and marketers need to reach consumers beyond Google and Facebook.
The digital advertising company currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of todays Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2020 earnings is pegged at $4.99 per share, having been revised 58.4% upward in 60 days time.

YTD Price Performance: TTD
Dropbox DBX is riding on growing demand for its cloud-based team collaboration tools through which users can share files, photos, videos, songs and spreadsheets. This Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) companys strong focus on product innovation and introduction of solutions like updated Dropbox Spaces, HelloSign, Passwords, Vault and Computer Backup are anticipated to expand its user base.
Solid demand for cloud storage, triggered by the coronavirus-led work-from-home wave, has been acting as a tailwind for the company. Further, integration with leading applications like Zoom, Slack and Atlassian will likely expand the Dropbox paying user base.
Additionally, Dropboxs innovative Virtual First initiative, under which its employees will work from home majority of the time and will meet once in a while for team collaboration, is expected to lower cost. The companys plan to shift to hiring in low-cost regions is likely to boost profitability.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2020 earnings stands at 88 cents per share, up 14.3% in the past 60 days. The consensus mark for its 2021 earnings is pegged at $1 per share, having been revised 9.9% upward over the same time frame. The stock has spiked 37.4% in the year-to-date period, outperforming the Internet Services industrys rise of 33.5%.
YTD Price Performance: DBX
Zscaler ZS is one of the worlds leading providers of cloud-based security solutions. The company is riding on heightening demand for cyber-security solutions owing to the slew of data breaches. Increasing demand for privileged access security on digital transformation and cloud-migration strategies is a key growth driver.
Apart from this, the companys Edge cloud for policy enforcement, multi-tenancy, proxy for SSL or TLS inspection and zero trust network access are positioned robustly to gain adoption amid the thriving remote-work culture.
This Zacks Rank #2 companys portfolio strength boosts its competitive edge and helps add users. Furthermore, a strong presence across verticals, such as banking, insurance, healthcare, public sector, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications services and education, is another key catalyst.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2021 earnings is pegged at 37 cents per share, having been revised 27.6% upward in 30 days time. For fiscal 2022, the consensus mark for earnings has moved 9.6% north to 57 cents per share over the same time frame.
