CLOUD COMPUTING : Nitin Hiranandani, Director, HP India
CLOUD COMPUTING
It can be said without a shadow of doubt that transition of cloud computing from being the latest industry buzz word to an accepted operational expenditure is nearing completion. Cloud has emerged as an IT service that businesses, both enterprises and SMBs, have already adopted or are in the process of evaluating its adoption. The adoption of cloud computing by SMEs is also increasing at a greater pace. According to a survey, it has been found that the number of companies with 10 or fewer employees adopting paid cloud services will triple in the next three years.
Concerns around understanding security requirements for cloud services are top of the mind for nearly half of business and technology executives in India. More than half of those surveyed also indicated that they are concerned about how to secure and consume big data.
However, for all the benefits cloud computing provides, it cannot be said to have foolproof security. The very nature of cloud makes it more accessible to more people. And therein lies the danger as well.
A private cloud environment can be protected from impending threats by using intrusion detection software and firewalls. However, it becomes all the more trickier when it comes to securing SaaS and IaaS solutions hosted in the public cloud.

Nitin’s role as the Director of Printing Systems at HP PPS India gives him the opportunity to build a strong interface between the customer’s needs and the company’s product offerings, which he constantly innovates to meet the changing behaviour and requirements. The biggest goal for Nitin personally is to listen to his customers, identify their needs, and then match those needs with the right product or solution from HP’s extensive portfolio.
Realizing the key IT trends of mobility and cloud, HP printers are today empowering the customers with anytime, anywhere and seamless printing experience with features such as ePrint, wireless direct, NFC touch to print, etc. This way, Nitin is challenging the marketplace to broaden the definition of a “printer”. HP is also enabling transformation of printers to productivity devices with market-leading innovations like HP Hotspot MFP – the world’s first All-in-One with an inbuilt wireless hotspot, the HP Officejet Pro X 500 series – the world’s fastest desktop printer, Flow MFPs and cloud-enabled printers.
Nitin has a thorough and in-depth understanding of not only technologies and products, but also, and, more importantly, end-user’s needs and requirements. His role as a technology evangelist to correctly match customer’s requirements with the right product or solution has been well appreciated.
