With the deployment of innovative Cloud computing solutions, various industrial sectors can modernize their business operations and automate their resources

Karachi, April 11, 2013: Cloud computing has ushered a revolutionary advancement in the field of Information Technology. To create awareness about this innovative platform among the business community of the country, Microsoft Pakistan recently conducted a Private Cloud Immersion session for local media personnel. The event was organized in partnership with Fujitsu, which is the hardware partner of Microsoft Pakistan for the deployment of this cutting-edge technology across various organizations in Pakistan.

Cloud computing is a major paradigm shift in how IT resources are designed, managed and delivered. This new model opens a matchless avenue for innovation and covers virtualized infrastructure, advanced storage management, deep application management and data security. Microsoft solutions for Private Cloud, built on Windows Server, Hyper-V and System Center, are a key part of the company’s end-to-end approach to cloud computing. By improving on the way organizations currently consume IT, Microsoft can help businesses leverage investments and skill sets they already have, while taking advantage of the new value the cloud provides. Most importantly for local businesses the cloud service provider they trust their information or applications to will be around for the long term, because Microsoft’s belief in, and commitment to, the cloud is seen clearly in the fact that much of their annual $9.5 billion R&D budget — more than any other company in the world — is devoted to cloud technologies. Today, 70% of Microsoft’s 40,000 engineers work on cloud-related products and services because the company firmly believes in a cloud based future and the innumerable benefits it brings to industries not only in Pakistan but around the globe.

Speaking on this occasion, Amir Rao, country manager, Microsoft Pakistan said: “Information Technology permeates through every sector of our business environment. In this era of modernity, Microsoft Pakistan provides private cloud solutions to companies through which they can reform the workplace for employees across various departments and offices. Moreover, they enable you to deliver unrivaled services to your external stakeholders and engage with them more directly. Network administrators can explore new network management capabilities and configure the application performance mechanisms which are not possible otherwise. ”

Zafar Ul Islam, Lead Technology Strategist at Microsoft Pakistan briefed the media personnel on Cloud computing concepts and shared Microsoft vision and solution for Public, Private and Hybrid Cloud scenarios. He also explained how Private Cloud Immersion facility launched by Microsoft will help local system integrators and enterprise customers to gear up for this transformation towards cloud computing. Amim Muhammad Khan, CIE Specialist at Microsoft Pakistan presented live demo of Private Cloud Immersion scenarios.

The session was also attended by representatives of Fujitsu. Commenting on the development, Sajjad Abbas, regional sales manager – ME, Fujitsu Technology Solutions said: “Fujitsu is proud to have partnered with Microsoft Pakistan for the deployment of Private Cloud Technology. With the remarkable cloud solutions by Microsoft and adept hardware of our company, businesses will be able to revolutionize their operations and initiate an overall reformation of their infrastructure. This inventive platform gives an edge to every company and ensures a prosperous future.”

The benefits of adopting cloud computing makes it a valuable acquisition for any organization looking to reduce its cost and grow at the same time. The platform offers economies of scale by increasing productivity, reduces un-necessary spending on software licensing and it enables globalization of the workforce as people worldwide can access the cloud database. The Private Cloud Immersion technology by Microsoft Pakistan in partnership with Fujitsu will now enable local organizations to achieve greater efficiency and save on resources which can be utilized elsewhere.

Microsoft Private Cloud Immersion (PCI) facility is now operational at Microsoft Pakistan office, and enterprise customers can reach out to Microsoft team to schedule session for their team.

Windows Update and Microsoft Update usage in Pakistan and worldwide

Microsoft provides several tools and services that enable users to download and install updates directly from Microsoft or from update servers designated by their system administrators. The update client software (called Automatic Updates in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, and simply Windows Update in other currently supported versions of Windows) connects to an update service for the list of available updates. After the update client determines which updates are ap-plicable to the user’s computer, it installs the updates or notifies the user that they are available, depending on the way the client is configured and the nature of each update.

For end users, Microsoft provides two update services that the update clients can use:

• Windows Update provides updates for Windows components and for device drivers provided by Microsoft and other hardware vendors. Win-dows Update also distributes signature updates for Microsoft antimalware products and the monthly release of the MSRT. By default, when a user enables automatic updating, the update client connects to the Windows Update service for updates.
• Microsoft Update provides all of the updates offered through Windows Update and provides updates for other Microsoft software, such as the Microsoft Office system, Microsoft SQL Server, and Microsoft Exchange Server. Users can opt in to the service when installing software that is ser-viced through Microsoft Update or at the Microsoft Update Web site (update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate). Microsoft recommends config-uring computers to use Microsoft Update instead of Windows Update to help ensure they receive timely security updates for Microsoft products.

Enterprise customers can also use Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or the Microsoft System Center family of management products to provide update services for their managed computers.

This chart shows the growth in the number of computers connecting to Windows Update and Microsoft Update in Pakistan over the last four years, indexed to the total usage for both services in Pakistan in 2008.

In 2012, the number of computers connecting to Windows Update and Microsoft Update in Pakistan was up 28.5 percent from 2011, and up 209.7 percent from 2008. By comparison, worldwide use of the two services increased 18.3 percent between 2011 and 2012, and 59.7 percent from 2008 to 2012.

Of the computers using the two update services in Pakistan in 2012, 47.0 percent were configured to use Microsoft Update, compared to 58.5 percent worldwide.

According to Peps Foundation’s survey of 2008, the estimated number of psychologically disturbed people in Pakistan is more than 14 million. The survey also reveals that there is only four major psychiatric hospitals and 20 such units attached to teaching hospitals, barely enough to serve a growing population.

As part of Microsoft’s global initiative – Employee Volunteer Day in which employees are given a day off with pay to adopt a socially responsible cause- this year a team of 36 employees spent their day with the members of Fountain House. The activities of the day included recreational activities like painting competition, music and sports. Microsoft also upgraded software and hardware for the computer lab at Fountain House.

Kamal Ahmed, Country General Manager, Microsoft Pakistan, who led the team, while expressing his views said, "We believe that if given the right support and opportunities, these members of our society will bring about a positive change. I hope that our global initiative, undertaken both on a corporate as well as on employee level, will help improve the lives of fellow Pakistanis and specially those who need more care and attention from us.”

While appreciating the support of Microsoft employees, Dr. ­­­­­­­­Syed Imran said, "We consider this initiative as a vital step in shaping and supporting the community. Instead of relying on the conventional approach of corporate philanthropy, Microsoft employees have gone one step further and have actively volunteered with us, which is really a noble gesture for our members.”

Since its inception in 1971, Fountain House has rehabilitated over 6500 psychiatric patients. The most laudable part of this institution is its self-reliance for funds without any support from the Government or international donor agencies.

Microsoft executed the novel idea of Employee Volunteer Day for the first time in Pakistan last year when a group of employees decided to spend their time and talent with the children of Gehwara – an orphanage on the outskirts of Rawalpindi. The company has multiple citizenship and corporate social responsibility initiatives running across the country.  The company is also a key partner in setting up computer labs in the government schools of Punjab. It has also contributed over US $ 5.0 million for the flood relief efforts in Pakistan – a fact that has been recognized the US Chamber of Commerce recently.
