With a promise of resource optimization, faster ROI and a cost-effective investment scheme, cloud computing emerged recently as the top technology of choice for local CIOs at the conclusion of a series of CIO Forums led by G2iX (Global Gateway Innovation Exchange), a local pioneer of cloud computing services.

Cloud computing, which has experienced widespread adoption not only locally but especially abroad, remains at the helm of inexpensive yet effective solutions that answer common enterprise problems, especially during the recent crisis.

“Infrastructure is generally underutilized. The enterprise ecosystem in the Philippines, particularly the telecommunications sector, can bank on cloud computing and Software as a Service (SaaS) to significantly reduce time, costs, as well as headaches and deliver innovations within their organization,” remarked Winston Damarillo, CEO, G2iX.

Measuring up to market demands, Morph Labs, a division of G2iX that provides cloud computing services in the country, recently unveiled Morph Cloudserver, a cloud platform patterned after Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud and Eucalypus that enables firms to massively develop and deploy software throughout the enterprise.

“Cloud computing technology, such as the Filipino co-developed Morph Cloud Server, provides emerging countries with affordable access to world-class ICT infrastructure,” commented Secretary Ray Anthony Roxas-Chua of the CICT (Commission on Information and Communications Technology).

G2iX is hoping to hold more CIO Forums in 2010 to further discover trends and share best practices among the country’s top innovators. – John Mark V. Tuazon
