A Step Further to Shared Economy: Onething Technologies … – Yahoo Finance
AUSTIN, Texas, March 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Internet solutions developer Onething Technologies demonstrated its innovational breakthrough of combining shared economy and cloud computing to effectively solve the future computing needs at South By Southwest (SXSW), the annual worldwide conglomerate of the most innovative people from music, film, and technology, on March. 11 in Austin, Texas.
Chen Lei, CEO of Onething Technologies and co-CEO of Xunlei, at his keynote speech "Reinventing Cloud Computing based on Shared Economy", said Onething Technologies builds a unique cloud computing platform based on shared economy to redefine the industry and create numerous economic and social value together with individual users.
Chen noted that corporations nowadays require more computational power as the rapidly changing development in areas such as gene sequencing and artificial intelligence results in exponential growth and demand for data computation, storage and transmission. With Moores Law diminishes in its effect, the demand of driving down cost of computation goes higher.
Unlike traditional cloud computing that requires centralized data centers, the company's platform, which consists of Xunlei Minecrafter and Nebula CDN, distributes internet users' redundant computational power and bandwidth to internet enterprises that have a huge demand for these aspects.
By utilizing spare resources under this context, Onething Technologies' solution enables tens of thousands of individual internet users to be contributors of computational power and bandwidth by sharing their personal smart devices.
The solution also saves companies' money by providing more advanced CDN technologies at a much lower cost. Efficient utilization of idle resources has significant social benefits as it saved around 32 million kilowatts per hour of electricity by December, 2016 and reduces carbon dioxide emission by about 26,800 ton compared to traditional cloud computing that use data centers.
The integration of shared economy is seen as a major boost in global cloud computing development. This innovational model has driven wide attention at the conference and was reported by Kvue News that it will bring more possibilities to the world.
"Our services have been used in livestream, VR, and TV, and our customers include top-rated internet companies," said Chen, "As our technology develops, we expect to expand our services into more areas such as artificial intelligence, massive data storage and big data analysis."

Govt proposes subsidy for MSMEs deploying cloud computing – Daily News & Analysis
The government has proposed subsidy up to Rs 1 lakh for micro and small enterprises to encourage them to use cloud computing for information and communications technology applications.
In cloud computing, MSMEs use Internet to access common as well as tailor-made IT infrastructure, including software, for managing business.
The subsidy will be provided on user charges for 2 years.
The proposals are part of the modified guidelines of the scheme for 'Promotion of Information and Communication Technology in MSME Sector'.
It centres around cloud computing which is emerging as a cost-effective and viable alternative compared to in-house IT infrastructure.
"The benefits that accrued through implementing information and communications technology (ICT) for subsidy period in their enterprises will motivate MSMEs to continue to use the ICT application with their own expenses after this period," the MSME ministry said in the draft guidelines.
The subsidy disbursed will be through the direct benefit transfer route. The MSMEs initially will make a full payment to the service provider. The office of the development commissioner MSME will disburse funds to Telecommunications Consultants India Ltd (TCIL), which in turn will transfer it to the account of MSMEs.
"It has been observed that MSMEs are generally not availing of the benefits of ICT application and cloud computing for promotion of their business. Therefore, it is proposed that MSMEs be sensitised regarding the benefits of ICT, including cloud computing application for business promotion, at a cost of Rs 5 crore," the MSME ministry said.
Cloud computing services will be provided in two categories. Under the first, maximum subsidy of Rs 1 lakh per unit will be disbursed over 2 years to micro and small enterprises.
In the second, services through cloud at much lower cost will be offered to the desirous micro, small and medium enterprises.
The subsidy will be on cost of usage services, which will be shared by the central government and the micro and small enterprise units availing of it.
The total budget outlay in the scheme for this activity is Rs 69 crore with the Centre's contribution of Rs 41.40 crore for 2 years.
The MSMEs will have to apply to the service provider and place their request on the official website or the national portal for taking the benefit of subsidy.

Google may have found its next big business, and it won’t be a moonshot – Quartz
The vast majority of Googles money comes from selling ads. The company, and now its parent Alphabet, has long sought additional revenue streams, building myriad research outfits under the umbrella of Other Bets that would hopefully develop new, lucrative technologies.
As these moonshots hemorrhage money, Google is now looking at a more staid source of income: cloud computing.
While other tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft dominate the cloud computing market today, Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt took to the Google Cloud Next event keynote stage March 8 to make the case for his companys cloud future. You can store your files anywhere, Schmidt says, but Googles prowess in using artificial intelligence to understand a companys data sets it apart.
In this model, companies would pay Google to store their data and run programs on its servers, tasks that once required prohibitive capital investments for small companies.
Big data is so powerful that nation-states will fight over [it], Schmidt said. He who has the data that can do the analytics will provide huge nation-state benefits.
Last year, Gartner predicted that cloud computing would have a $1 trillion dollar impact on information technology spending by 2020, a figure echoed by Google Cloud SVP Diane Green in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
It is so early, Greene said. Ninety-five percent of the worlds data is not in the cloud.
Internet balloons and energy kites give Google its air of dreamy creative, but theyre not paying the bills. Even capturing a small percentage of the cloud market could ease Googles reliance on advertising, which today makes 88% of its income and subsidizes the other projects.
The economic potential for Google has been so great that the company has invested $30 billion to build out these cloud services, Schmidt said during the keynote. Even conservative estimates of Googles potential revenue from cloud computing offer a stark contrast to the amount it has poured into Other Bets without the promise of significant return, nearly $7 billion since 2014.

The many costs of cloud computing lock-in – SiliconANGLE (blog)
Gary Bloom is chief executive of the enterprise database company MarkLogic Corp. He wrote this article for SiliconANGLE.
In a situation nearly every company will face, one of the Internets brightest stars has highlighted the value of not getting locked into a single cloud computing provider.Snap Inc., creator of the messaging app Snapchat, recently revealed that it will spend $1 billion over five years on Amazon Web Services and may eventually build its own infrastructure.
The move will provide redundant infrastructure support of our business operations, Snap said in an amended S-1 registration statement for its initial public offering of shares. Snaps first filing spurred headlines, in part, because itdisclosed how closely Snaps fortunes are tied to Google Inc.s cloud, on which it said it would spend $2 billion over five years.In both filings, Snap said it relies on Google Cloud for the vast majority of its computing, storage, bandwidth and other services, and that any disruption of or interference with our use of theGoogle Cloud would seriously harm our business.
Heres the scariest part: Any transition of the cloud services currently provided by Google Cloud to another cloud provider would be difficult to implement and will cause us to incur significant timeand expense, Snap said. It also warned, If our users or partners are not able to access Snapchat through Google Cloud or encounter difficulties in doing so, we may lose users, partners oradvertising revenue.
Its pretty clear that giving the bulk of its cloud services to a single supplier is a huge risk to Snap.The company is, as The Information recentlynoted, the biggest consumer Internet company to be built from scratch on top of cloud computing infrastructureit doesnt own. It alsoreported that Google is giving Snap deep discounting and other benefits.
Discounts are enticing, but cloud lock-in is a risk to Snaps operations and economics. By warning that it may build its own infrastructure, Snap could keep its cloud suppliers honest. But that has meaning only if Snap can quickly and seamlessly transition its information technology operations from one cloud provider to another or to its own infrastructure. Cloud neutrality in what Snap builds, how it builds itand how the company runs its systems will have to be a key attribute of its daily development operations if Snap is going to benefit from a cloud neutrality strategy.
Thisrisk is not unique. By 2020, all companies will be doing something in the cloud. The cloud vendors, led by Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Corp. and Google, will want to run and manage theircustomers capacity and may even extend discounts for volume.
For now, that may not seem like a bad deal. For many enterprises, the cloud is mostly about fundamental services, such asstorage and elastic compute capacity. The underlying architecture is standardized around Intel hardware and Linux, which works in any cloud environment.

The lock-in starts when you move to the software services and application layer of the software stack. Cloud providers offer proprietary APIs that reduce the amount of code or work required to getapps going. By using proprietary APIs, you get hooked into that vendors ecosystem. To move services to another cloud vendor or back in house will take, as Snap warned, significant time andexpense.
Enterprises may not even realize theyre getting sucked in. Almost all applications being created rely on a database. Anybody who codes software for Amazons DynamoDB database is basicallylocked into AWS as a cloud provider. Any software written for DynamoDB cant be moved to another cloud provider or transitioned on-premises unless it is rewritten, which is costly and timeconsuming.
In addition to the time and expense to transfer Google Cloud services to another provider, Snap said it has built its software and computer systems to use services provided by Google, some ofwhich do not have an alternative in the market. This comment leaves an open question as to whether buying AWS services alone is enough to mitigate the risk of cloud lock-in. It wont if theyhave to rewrite applications and change their DevOps to benefit from cloud neutrality.
Sadly, companies have been locked in before, when they chose to outsource their IT operations to providers such as IBM Corp. and Electronic Data Systems. They thought experts could manage their IT operations and datacenters better and more cost-effectively.
In the beginning, the economics looked encouraging. Then prices went up on three-year and five-year contracts as outsourcing vendors normalizedexpenses and added margins.They certainly never planned to lose money forever. Eventually, companies paid more for outsourced work than they spent in house. Yet they couldnt reclaim thework because everyone who knew how to manage it now worked for the outsourcing companies, or companies no longer owned their own data center infrastructure.
Enterprises should avoid cloud lock-in so they can get the benefits they get from any competitive marketplace, such as:
* Bargaining on price.Just as pricing increased for IT outsourcing when the suppliers added margin to the equation, so it will for the cloud. By 2020, most cloud consumers will see cloud computing billsthat are significantly higher than on-premises costs. The ability to go somewhere else will be key.
* Picking winners.We are early in this cloud transition, which 451 Research has said represents the biggest IT opportunity in decades. It is too soon to know which companies might dominate.AWS may look like a runaway leader, but Microsoft has made impressive gains. Who knows what innovations and improvements other companies may forge? In three to five years, differentclouds will focus on different things. Youll want to take advantage of what works for you.
* Being more secure. No one is ever completely safe from potential cyberattacks. If a cloud provider has a breach, you may need to move quickly to another provider. Being cloud neutral is aninsurance policy.

Google’s secret weapon in cloud computing: people – Computerworld
SAN FRANCISCO - Google had several big tech and service announcements at this week's second annual Google Cloud Next conference here. But the company is also leveraging a surprising resource to win enterprise customers - people.
It's surprising because Google's biggest successes have come from technology that pretty much sells itself, such as search and related advertising services like AdWords and AdSense.
But in those areas, Google succeeded because it was able to adroitly exploit its first mover advantage. In cloud computing, it trails the clear leader Amazon Web Services (AWS) and second-place Microsoft Azure. So at Cloud Next, the company did what smart competitors do: it unveiled new features and pricing designed to better position the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as a worthy alternative.
Customers, in general, praised the announcements, but then also shared an overlooked aspect of Google's enterprise marketing.
When Jack Constantine, chief digital officer of beauty products retailer Lush, was asked why his company switched from Amazon to GCP, he didn't focus on tech features.
"It's the engineer-to-engineer relationship we have with Google," Constantine said. "It feels like a partnership where we can take on challenges together. We're big in retail, but we're a small technology organization that's passionate about what we do. We're like a startup in some ways and I don't think we could achieve what we've done with GCP in another environment."
That comfort level with Google was key because Lush was under pressure to transition to GCP. The retailer had grown frustrated by certain aspects of AWS and decided -- with just 22 days left on its annual contract -- not to renew the deal.
"We realized it was now or never and we committed to taking a high-risk perspective," he said. That meant a fast-paced move to GCP in three weeks' time, something Constantine likened to an intense training period. "There was a cultural shift for us going to the Google cloud platform, learning how to containerize and use other languages, but everyone was really up for it."
Technology Business Research analyst Meaghan McGrath said Google is pursuing the enterprise market in a unique way. "The things they are doing with customer reliability engineers and site reliability engineers have been proven to help Google products, and transforming that to a customer-facing program is smart," McGrath said.
She recalled that at last year's inaugural Google Cloud Next customers like Spotify and Snap said the amount of attention they received from Google was invaluable. "My reaction to that was that it's easier to target a few use cases, but can this scale? I think Google is showing it's committed to supporting customers and they augmented that with the announcement that they've signed Pivotal and Rackspace for managed support."
Other big-time customers, including eBay, Disney, Home Depot and HSBC, endorsed GCP at the conference.
Troy Toman, director of engineering at Planet Labs, said his firm went with GCP for "the whole package" of what it offers, including technology, more flexible pricing and "Google's willingness to come to us and listen to what we needed."
Planet Labs still has a major investment in AWS, but moved to GCP specifically to help manage and process the millions of images the company generates via thousands of satellites in orbit.
Analysts say Google can continue to make inroads, but won't displace Amazon anytime soon.
"Where Google is now with its focus on the enterprise is something I couldn't imagine two years ago," said Gartner analyst David Mitchell Smith. "There is a lot of greenfield opportunities to go after companies looking to move off legacy systems.
"Google is going to be third one in at some enterprises looking to add cloud services," Smith said. "And that's okay because it promotes competition. Enterprises want an exit strategy so that if one system fails, they have somewhere else to go. It's like an insurance policy. Most companies aren't 100% any one vendor."
McGrath said AWS is likely to remain the de facto provider of cloud services for the foreseeable future -- even after last week's well-publicized outage.
"Amazon's created an aura around themselves with a large partner ecosystem that keeps them top of mind. I think Google understands that, but also is getting enterprises to understand the advantages of a multi-cloud environment. You look at the recent AWS outage and Google is saying, 'We can be your security blanket so your entire company isn't down.'"
While customers no doubt appreciate Google's white-glove support efforts, the provider won't get anywhere without a solid technology underpinning. Case in point, when Anirban Kundu, the CTO of Evernote, was asked at a press briefing to give one reason why his company switched to GCP, he insisted on giving two: "Encryption at rest and the speed of development it offers."

Poll: Where readers stand on artificial intelligence, cloud computing and population health – Healthcare IT News
When IBM CEO Ginni Rometty delivered the opening keynote at HIMSS17 sheeffectively set the stagefor artificial intelligence, cognitive computing and machine learning to be prevalent themes throughout the rest of the conference.
Other top trends buzzed about in Orlando: cloud computing and population health.
Healthcare IT News asked our readers where they stand in terms of these initiatives. And we threw in a bonus question to figure out what their favorite part of HIMSS17 was.
Some 70 percent of respondents are either actively planning or researching artificial intelligence, cognitive computing and machine learning technologies while 7 percent are rolling them out and 1 percent have already completed an implementation.
A Sunday afternoon session featuring AI startups demonstrated the big promise of such tools as well as the persistent questions, skepticism and even fearwhen it comes to these emerging technologies.
Whereas AI was considerably more prominent in the HIMSS17 discourse than in years past, population health management has been among the top trends for the last couple conferences.
Its not entirely surprising that more respondents, 30 percent,are either rolling out or have completed a rollout of population health technologies, while 50 percent are either researching actively planning to do so.
One striking similarity between AI and population health is the 20 percent of participants responding that they have no interest in either. For cloud computing, meanwhile, only 7 percent indicated they are not interested.
Though cloud computing is not a new concept, it is widely seen as such in the HIPAA-sensitive world of personally-identifiable and protected health information. The overarching themes at the pre-conference HIMSS and Healthcare IT News Cloud Computing Forum on Sunday were that security is not a core competency of hospital and health systems, thus many cloud providers can better protect health data and the ability to spin up server, storage and compute resources on Amazon, Google or Microsoft is enabling a whole new era of innovation that simply is not possible when hospitals have to invest in their own infrastructure to run proofs-of-concept and pilot programs. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, for instance,cut $5 million from its annual infrastructure budgetby opting for infrastructure-as-a-service.
Here comes the bonus question: What was your favorite part of HIMSS17?
The show floor won hands-down, followed by education sessions, then networking events and, in a neck-and-neck tie are keynotes and parties/nightlife.

Google Touts New Cloud Computing Clients, Aquires Kaggle – icrunchdata News (press release) (blog)
(Reuters) Alphabets Google is making progress in taking on cloud computing leaders Amazon and Microsoft, executives said on Wednesday, as the search engine company stakes more of its future on the cloud as a new source of growth.
At a conference in San Francisco, Google cloud computing chief Diane Greene ticked off a host of new clients, including HSBC, Colgate, Verizon and eBay.
The company also announced it had acquired Kaggle, a popular platform for data scientists that could boost Googles edge in the crowded field of artificial intelligence.
Despite the announcements, analysts said Google remains a distant third in the market for cloud computing, the increasingly popular practice of using remote internet servers to store, manage and process data.
The big challenge Google faces is that, for all the names it announced today, its still miles behind Amazon and Microsoft in terms of scale, said analyst Jan Dawson of Jackdaw Research. It has a long way to go, and a few more client announcements arent going to close the gap.
Those at the event were more impressed with Googles growing prowess in artificial intelligence (AI), long a strength of the company. The audience cheered when Google announced that it would release software tools to identify objects in videos using AI.
Kaggle, which will keep operating as an independent brand, reflects Googles interest in marketplaces for data, said Fei-Fei Li, Google Clouds chief scientist of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Kaggle allows companies and researchers to post data and uses crowdsourcing competitions among experts to produce usable models.
What Kaggle has contributed to the community is the democratization of data, she said.
While analysts expressed caution about Google as a competitor in cloud computing, company executives insisted they are making brisk progress in the market.
Alphabet Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt cited the recent initial public offering of Snap, a Google Cloud client, to illustrate the power of the companys services.
We put $30 billion into this platform, he said. I know because I approved it. Its real.
Greene said the company has been successful closing deals, hinting many more client announcements are in the offing.
Already we are winning more than half our deals, she said.
