THE importance of cloud computing to information
technology storage as well as other benefits to its users will be among the
issues to be discussed when the CloudCamp Cebu 2012 takes place July 4 at the
Marriott Hotel in Cebu City.
With Cebu City as the only place in the country
identified for the holding of the global event, the 200 participants expected
to attend it will have a venue to exchange ideas on how to use cloud computing
as a tool in protecting their data at an affordable cost.
Hosted by CloudCamp.org, the CloudCamp Cebu 2012
will also become the venue for the discussion of the types of cloud computing
as it can become a service in terms of being an infratructure, a software and a
platform.
Partners in holding the event include the Cebu
Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Cebu
Education Development Foundation For Information Technology (CEDFIT) and the
Junior International Chamber of Mandaue.
The event will gather people familiar with this
new technology trend and those who want to know more about it, including
companies that have been using the technology in running their businesses, as
well as those who intend to tap cloud computing as a service for their
businesses.
Aside from the breakout sessions for the
discussion of the issues, the daylong event will also be highlighted by the
presentation of sponsors as well as socials and networking among the attendees
so they can start connecting with those whom they think can provide them with
services.
The CloudCamp 2012 in Cebu City is one of the few
of such events held outside the US as most of these camps were held in the
country with the first being held on March 11 in Austin Texas.
Sponsored by big global technology companies, the
CloudCamp, a global event, was conceptualized by those who adopted cloud
computing in its infancy so they can have a venue in discussing issues about
it. In the camp, participants are provided with the venue for them to about the
technologies behind cloud computing.
Organizers of the CloudCamp said it is “an
unconference where early adopters of Cloud Computing technologies exchange
ideas.”
“With the rapid change occurring in the industry,
we need a place we can meet to share our experiences, challenges and
solutions,” they added, pointing out that at the event people are encouraged to
share their thoughts on issues concerning cloud computing.
Those who have taken advantage of cloud computing
have used web browsers or mobile applications in accessing their data which are
stored in remote locations, allowing them to do away with bigger services as
well making their computer systems run faster because they do not need huge
storage facilities.
The concept behind cloud computing is the sharing
of resources similar to electricity grid with the Internet serving as its
network.
