World is experiencing changes across various facets of life personal and professional, at a speed never seen before. Everywhere we look we see that technology seems to be involved in most of our day to day activities. In such a scenario it becomes more important than ever to prepare the students for the future of work and fulfil their passion to excel in developing cutting edge computer applications. Bennett University believes that it can help many such aspiring students in moving ahead on the path of making their dreams come true. Hence the university has launched the Bachelors in Computer Application (BCA) Program with specializations in the most sought after fields BCA (Data Science) and BCA (Cloud Computing & Cyber Security), from the Academic year 2020-21.

Students will be doing three certifications out of Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity, Data Science. Web Technologies and Artificial Intelligence. With one certification each year, students will be ready to jump to work for the industry without any additional training requirements from the Industry.

Key focus of the program will be Industry ready curriculum with special focus on Futuristic technologies combined with core skills. Lot of emphasis is being given to change the adoption curve of new technologies, so that students can match with the skills required by the employers. Bennett University aims to be the educating and equipping students to become the Most preferred potential employees for any corporate.

The key to choosing these specializations and the skills that they will give to the students is that these skills are not just limited to IT industry, when it comes to work or jobs. Every company or industry that deals with Data now or in the future will always need the experts in Data Science to churn their data to give the critical insights that would define and re-define the businesses.

Similarly as we look around every or any corporate or industry seems to be moving to usage of Cloud storage and thus every company or industry that has IT usage will need experts in the field of Cloud technology and Cyber Security because where there is huge amounts of data there is always the risk of security of the Data. Data is the true treasure of any company or Industry and hence Data security is Critical.

Early adoption of technology will be one of the key Mantra which is being facilitated through Professional Certifications which has been integrated with the regular curriculum.

If you have a job or a steady income from other sources, it can be easy to sometimes forget the United States is in a recession. After all, you have money coming in and the S&P 500 index has largely, though not entirely, recovered from its steep drop that began in mid-February triggered by the worldwide spread of COVID-19. (In 2020, the S&P 500 has returned 0.9% through July 17.)

It's not wise, however, to bury your head in the sand to some hard facts. In the last couple of months, the U.S. unemployment rate has been higher than at any time since the Great Depression and the COVID-19 pandemic is worsening in this country. This is extremely troubling from several aspects, including an economic one.

Another stock market drop is entirely possible, if not likely, in my opinion. This does not mean that long-term investors should stop investing in the market. It's well-established the stock market is the best passive way to grow wealth over the long term. It does mean, however, you should be particularly selective.

One class of stocks that investors should currently favor are the stocks of larger and profitable companies in the broad technology realm.Two top companies in this sphere that should continue to thrive even if the economic environment worsens are e-commerce and cloud computing giant Amazon.comand graphics processing unit (GPU) leader NVIDIA.

Data sources: Yahoo! Finance and YCharts. Data as of July 17, 2020. P/E = price-to-earnings ratio. EPS = earnings per share. YTD = year to date. *Wall Street's consensus estimate.

Amazon a tech stock? The company generates more of its profits from its cloud computing service, Amazon Web Services, the market leader in the public cloud space, than it does from its e-commerce business. So, its stock is arguably at least as much a tech stock as a consumer goods stock.

Amazon is quite diversified, so buying its stock is kind of akin to buying a basket of stocks -- perhaps large e-commerce and cloud computing service stocks, and smaller stocks focused on smart-home tech, grocery retailing, healthcare, digital advertising, and more. This diversification should continue to enable the company to weather -- and even thrive during -- tough economic climates.

In 2020, Amazon's e-commerce revenue is getting a notable boost from the COVID-19 crisis because people worldwide have flocked to online shopping. Existing online shoppers have increased the amount of shopping they do online, while folks who have never shopped online have begun doing so. This acceleration in the shift from shopping at brick-and-mortar stores to online should prove to be a lasting one, in my opinion.

Wall Street expects Amazon to grow earnings at an average annual rate of 34% over the next five years. The company has a good track record of beating analysts' earnings expectations, and there's no reason to believe it won't continue to do so.

NVIDIA is also solidly diversified, and has both consumer- and enterprise-focused businesses. In the consumer realm, it's the market leader in discrete GPUs used to make graphics cards for desktop computer gaming. In fiscal Q1 2021, its gaming platform accounted for about 44% of its total revenue. Computer gaming is a worldwide growth market, thanks largely to the explosion in popularity of esports and the improving quality of video games.

Many hard-core or semi-hard-core gamers won't easily give up spending money on their favorite hobby. So, this market is likely to prove more resilient to economic downturns than most consumer discretionary markets.

In fiscal Q2, gaming is poised to be dethroned as the company's largest platform by revenue. NVIDIA's acquisition of networking specialist Mellanox Technologies, which closed on the first day of fiscal Q2, should result in its data center platform becoming its largest platform. In fiscal Q1, this business accounted for 37% of the company's total revenue.

Data center has been NVIDIA's fastest growing platform in recent years. Growth is being driven by the widespread shift to cloud computing and the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) by entities of all sizes. Spending on AI isn't likely to let up, even if the economy worsens. Investing in AI capabilities is a must for most types of companies if they want to remain competitive. This is more true now than ever, as the pandemic has accelerated the shift toward doing many things remotely -- such as working, shopping, and "visiting" a healthcare provider. AI capabilities are needed to enable many remote services and functions.

2 Top Tech Stocks to Buy During the 2020 Coronavirus Recession - Motley Fool

We all know about the inertia associated with starting something new, about comfort in the known, and about resistance to change.

We have inertia in starting something, and when we finally start, we have inertia in stopping what we have started, and are unwilling do something different. Great physicists recognize this tendency of humans and nature, motivating Isaac Newton to create his First Law of Motion back in the days at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom. Yet change is inevitable, and the most successful leaders and businesspeople might as well be those who welcome change with open arms, as an integral part of human experience.

But why do people fear change? I am sure psychologists have fine theories, but for the rest of us, fear of consequences is usually the reason for our unwillingness to change. The fear that the change might create problems for us and make our lives less comfortable. Why fix it when its not broken is a common refrain. As a result, we wait until rapid and formidable disruptions of our lives happen before we enact change. These disruptions could come in the form of massive illness, near-death experience, or even the death of a loved one. For example, I cannot begin to tell you the changes I made in my life following the death of my mother 18 years ago. Some of the changes were things I should have been doing in the first place before my mom died. But when the shockwave of her death arrived, I had no more excuses and nowhere to hide! This is one reason why perfectionism can be very undesirable it does not allow for nimbleness.

My generation essentially started the business of applying hardcore computer simulations to solve engineering problems about 35 or so years ago. Since the 1990s, I have been part of the development and/or management team of a few commercial software packages that solve engineering problems in the mechanical and aerospace engineering field. A significant part of our challenge a few decades ago is the unwillingness of folks to try out the new technologies that we had introduced. Engineering is too risky, and folks would rather opt for physical experiments than vaporware. That is, until they cannot no longer sit on the fence. This is certainly the story of cloud computing today. People dragged their feet until COVID-19 landed. Kurt Marko puts this nicely in his 30 April 2020 article in diginomica.com: disruptive events (of COIVD-19) cut through personal and bureaucratic inertia to catalyze changes at a rate seemingly impossible during placid times. Indeed, the DXC survey documents such behavioral friction in the form of employee foot-dragging and management indecisiveness as prime impediments to digital transformation strategies.

Obviously, the COVID-19 pandemic represents a massive disruption in the lives of virtually every person on earth: sudden deaths by the hundreds of thousands as weve never seen in this generation; and airlines, oil companies, hotel chains, and the recreation enterprise seeing their businesses decimated and stocks dumped. But the pandemic has also created business opportunities in other areas, for people who are positioned to, and are adept at, cashing in.

The pandemic lockdowns have caused people to find alternatives to in-person learning, which invariably implies online learning. Well, people also work from home during the pandemic lockdowns. Of course, there are the digital native companies (such as Microsoft, Google, Amazon), for whom the shift to remote working is relatively seamless well, provided they are set up to use cloud facilities. For the everyday business, sustaining operations in the age of the pandemic could represent nightmare that could test the survivability of the entity. The successful ones will probably be those who have been able to expeditiously adapt their operations via accelerated cloud adoption. Managers may need to upskill in crisis management, and cloud-first model may be unavoidable for some businesses. Companies simply must enable an increasingly mobile workforce. In the words of Emil Sayegh on 6 March 2020 in forbes.com, A widespread epidemic validates the need for the maintenance of corporate functionality based on cloud technologies.

Of course, this column in Daily Trust has covered a lot on Cloud Computing since its inception in 2011. In fact, the maiden article, which is based on cloud computing, was written at a time when Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsofts Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) were at infancy. In terms of the market share of cloud infrastructure, AWS, Azure, GCP and Alibaba are the leaders, with respective percentage shares of 32.4, 17.6, 6, and 5.4.

The prospect of cloud deployment in the age of the COVID19 pandemic has been summarized in cloudcomputing-new.com on 17 April 2020: Stores that still use traditional web hosting are likely to experience downtimes as they run out of network resources to handle the drastic increases in traffic. Cloud hosting solutions are highly scalable, so a sudden rise in traffic is unlikely to disrupt business. Additionally, cloud hosting providers are more equipped and experienced in dealing with cyber-attacks. They can protect their servers from DDoS, hacking, and other threats better than organizations that operate on-site servers. This means that cloud solutions help minimize instances of downtimes brought about by cyber-attacks. (DDoS stands for distributed denial of service.)

Pandemic shockwave shatters cultural barriers to cloud adoption - Daily Trust

Enterprises eager to undergo digital transformations and modernize their applications are quick to see the value of adopting a cloud computing platform. They are increasingly finding business agility or cost savings by renting software. Each cloud computing service and deployment model type provides you with different levels of control, flexibility and management. Therefore, its important to understand the differences between them.

Common convention points to public cloud as the delivery model of choice. But, when considering the right architecture of cloud computing for your applications and workloads, you must begin by addressing the unique needs of your business.

This can include many factors, such as government regulations, security, performance, data residency, service levels, time to market, architecture complexity, skills and preventing vendor lock-in. Add in the need to incorporate the emerging technologies, and you can see why IT leaders are challenging the notion that cloud computing migration is easy.

At first glance, the types of cloud computing seem simple: public, private or a hybrid mix of both. In reality, the choices are many. Public cloud can include shared, dedicated and bare metal delivery models. Fully and partially managed clouds are also options. And, in some cases, especially for existing applications where architectures are too complex to move or the cost-benefit ratio is not optimal, cloud may not be the right choice.

The right model depends on your workload. You should understand the advantages and disadvantages of each cloud deployment model and take a methodical approach to determining which workloads to move to which type of cloud for the maximum benefit.

"If you look at SafetyCulture, Culture Amp, and Canva is probably the best example of it, they are all built on the cloud," he said. "A lot of these companies are seeing (the shift to the cloud) accelerate as a result of the coronavirus pandemic."

Meanwhile, Airtree Ventures partner James Cameron pointed to the growth of online cloud computing training provider A Cloud Guru, which reached $116 million in revenue this year, as a good example of how tech startups can make the most of the rush to the cloud.

A Cloud Guru teaches people how to use cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform and has taught two million users since launch in 2015.

"It really has been the right time and right place (for the business) to enjoy that explosive growth," Mr Cameron said.

"They are sitting at this mega trend and of the tailwinds they have got behind them one is online education and the second is the shift into digital reskilling, then there's also the shift in the general software development world to the cloud."

A Cloud Guru co-founder and chief executive Sam Kroonenburg said remote working has been a key catalyst for the shift to the cloud.

"I think the world has a mandate to move to the cloud and this is a major shift that is happening across the world globally," he said. "Companies are wanting to move away from managing their own infrastructure, they want to have the flexibility to send their workforce home and COVID-19 is just accelerating that trend."

Mr Kroonenburg said he expected this shift to continue even after the pandemic is over.

"It is a long term systemic change," he said.

The Australian government sector is a significant user of the public Cloud and spent almost $A1 billion ($US702 million) on it in 2018, according to a Deloitte Access Economics report.

A new whitepaper calledPerceptions of Cloud Computing in Governmentprepared by Which-50 and sponsored by Rubrik looks at the progress of cloud computing in the Commonwealth Government and reveals the attitudes of senior executives and industry leaders, the criticality of security, and impediments that keep agencies and departments on the sidelines.

The whitepaper also identifies the benefits government IT leaders believe cloud can provide. They include increasing the speed of delivering new platforms which allow for continuous improvement, providing easier access to services, and reducing the effort needed for maintenance, while allowing agencies to focus on improving service delivery.

With studies indicating that the cumulative productivity benefits of public Cloud to the Government sector could already be more than $A2 billion over the past five years, cloud computing offers genuine productivity benefits and transformational opportunities.

Yet while heavily supported by the government, and embraced by its agencies, the move is still stalling on some levels because of confusion around what Cloud really brings. There are also fears that it may not be secure, and consequently that it may pose a threat to highly sensitive data assets.

The authors of the report spoke to technology leaders in and around the Commonwealth Government to understand the issues concerning government guidance and policy related to Cloud services including their view of Cloud generally, their current posture to Cloud computing and their perceptions of how non-technical managers view cloud computing.

The report also draws on recent research by industry analysts and leading management consultants to help readers better understand the current state of play.

Perceptions of cloud computing in goverment - Government News

By Prasad Rajappan, Founder of ZingHR

Cloud computing has emerged as an indispensable organ in the HR technology segment. This technology refers to the use of configurable resources such as software development applications and storage over the Internet. The hardware is managed by a vendor and services are on a paid model. Cloud computing eliminates the use of additional infrastructure to maintain enterprises data and is a scalable investment that functions as a centralized repository for firms. Agility, ease of implementation, cost-efficiency and productivity are the hallmarks of cloud computing technology. A state-of-the-art cloud computing technology not only streamlines the recruitment process but transform the entire gamut of HR functions; it also heralds a new tech-driven culture in an organisation. Discussed are some of the recent trends in cloud computing technology.

The shift from multi-channel to an omnichannel model

Cloud computing has become more portable and ensures a seamless streamlining of functions with the proliferation of data integration platforms and vendors cross-platform alliances. What was multi-channel has now become omnichannel to benefit enterprises that have implemented it.

Role of Internet of Things

Internet of Things and Cloud Computing enjoy a complementary relationship. Greater connectivity by devices serves as a channel to transport massive information for use by firms. Here the technology used by the enterprise is not the only significant; its ramifications even extend to personal devices used by employees. Hence the IoT is a tool that can be utilized to transform massive amounts of data as information quickly. Though IoT generates a huge amount of data, storage is not a hurdle as it can be scaled up.

Key to employee wellness

Cloud computing can play a significant role in employee engagement and wellness that has emerged as a new focus for enterprises. Cloud communication can fill in the missing links in the communication. It also allows managers to review employees performance continuously through a single dedicated platform. It also allows employees to give feedback about their managers.

Key to learning culture

With more and more firms adopting e-learning, in-person and manual training have given way to sophisticated learning platforms. Cloud computing is an important enabler to keep employees in line with industry requirements along with fostering a culture of lifelong learning in an organisation.

Role of modular software

As organisations embrace decentralization, data will be stored in places other than the cloud. The wide adoption of modular software and different serves will enable this change.

Key to an agile workforce

An agile and flexible workforce has gained a new currency in recent times. Cloud Computing is an excellent medium to connect the workforce across diverse geographies and profiles. It provides quick, on-the-go and instant access to communication.

Role in Data Security

The HR function possesses a lot of data about employees credentials that have to be confidential. With data security and privacy emerging as potent concerns in these times, cloud computing if implemented with state-of-the-art security measures can protect the data to the core. Hence more and more enterprises are now relying on platform-specific security solutions rather than on third party solutions

Innovation to be the key

Innovation will still be the centerpiece while adopting cloud computing to enable a tech-driven workforce. New trends such as quantum computing, usage of the Kubernetes platform to overcome barriers among others will redefine the HR technology segment.

Hence cloud computing significantly empowers HR function by enabling it to be more productive, responsive and dynamic to help firms gain a competitive edge over their counterparts.

Cloud Computing- A Revolution In The HR-tech Segment - Express Computer

In a recent blog post, Google announced the introduction of the Accelerator-Optimized VM (A2) family on Google Compute Engine, based on the NVIDIA Ampere A100 Tensor Core GPU. A2 provides up to 16 GPUs in a single VM and is the first A100-based offering in the public cloud.

Google designed the A2-family of VMs to boost training and inference computing performance for its customers. The A2 features the NVIDIA A-100 Tensor Core graphics processing unit based upthe newly NVIDIA Ampere architecture. According to the blog post, the A-100 offers up to 20 times the compute performance compared to the previous generation GPU, and comes with 40 GB of high performance HBM2 GPU memory. Also, A2 VMs come with up to 96 Intel Cascade Lake vCPUs, optional Local SSDs for workloads requiring faster data feeds to GPUs and up to 100 Gbps of networking.

When customers have more demanding workloads, the A2 offers the a2-megagpu-16g instance with 16 A100 GPUs, which include a total of 640 GB of GPU memory, 1.3 TB of system memory and all-in-all connected through NVSwitch with up to 9.6TB/s of aggregate bandwidth.

Source: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/compute/announcing-google-cloud-a2-vm-family-based-on-nvidia-a100-gpu

Note that A2 also offers smaller configurations allowing customers to match their need for GPU compute power. Customers can choose between five configurations, from one to 16 GPUs, with two different CPU- and networking-to-GPU ratios - each GPU to be partitioned into as many as seven GPU instances, owing to Amperes multi-instance group (MIG) capability.

Ian Buck, general managerand vice president of Accelerated Computing at NVIDIA, wrote in a recent company blog post about the availability of the A-100 on GCP:

In cloud data centers, A100 can power a broad range of compute-intensive applications, including AI training and inference, data analytics, scientific computing, genomics, edge video analytics, 5G services, and more.

With the A2 family, VMs Google further expands its portfolio of predefined and custom VMs ranging from compute- to accelerator optimized machines. Moreover, the company continues to compete with other cloud vendors such as Microsoft, which recently released new general purpose and memory-optimized VM families on various Intel Chipsets (AVX-512) and AWS, which recently released EC2 Inf1 instances based on its Inferentia chips. Many of these new VM types are targeted for customers with AI and Machine Learning workloads.

Holger Mueller, principal analyst and vice president at Constellation Research Inc., told InfoQ:

The battle for cloud leadership is primarily fought in the AI battle, and that is all about getting the AI load of enterprises attracted to each vendor's cloud. In the middle are platform vendors like NVidia, that providea cross-cloud platform and on-premise option. So with Google bringing the newest Nvidia platform to its Google Cloud, it makes it easier for CxOs to move AI workloads across on-premises and to the (Google) cloud.

Also, he said:

With Google being the #3 vendor, it has to be more open and more creative at attracting load - and this is another example of the Google strategy. In contrast, the larger AWS and Azure strategy is still to move to cloud proprietary compute architectures for AI loads. CxOs need to be awarethat lock-in is still a desirable outcome for most technology vendors and needs to balance the risks between convenience, speed and lock-in.

Currently, the A2 VM family is in alpha, and customers can request access by signing up. Moreover, Google states that public availability and pricing information will come later in the year. And finally, the company also announced forthcoming Nvidia A100 support for Google Kubernetes Engine, Cloud AI Platform, and other services.

COVID-19 Update: Global CLOUD COMPUTING IN RETAIL BANKING Market is Expected to Grow at a Healthy CAGR with top players China Unicom, Intuit, IBM,...

The one-size-fits-all cloud model is no longer feasible for most enterprises. They want to optimize overall performance and application agility, while cutting cost and bolstering security -- and many organizations are turning to a multi-cloud strategy to do so.

Multi-cloud computing boasts a number of intriguing advantages, as well as notable drawbacks that users must weigh before adopting this type of architecture. Daryl Plummer, VP and distinguished analyst at Gartner, is a believer in the multi-cloud movement.

"Multi-cloud is necessary, and I believe multi-cloud will get better and better," he said. "There's a lot of great things going on [in the cloud market] despite the potential problems people might run into."

But before organizations go all in on multi-cloud, they must evaluate every aspect of this architecture -- good and bad -- so they know whether to implement this cloud strategy.

Organizations want it all -- flexibility, scalability, and cost and performance optimization. Multi-cloud can often address those demands better than on-premises infrastructure or single-cloud computing.

Plummer attributes three main advantages to this type of cloud infrastructure.

Different cloud providers have different strengths. This can be limiting when you use a single provider, but you can use it to your advantage with multi-cloud computing, Plummer said.

For example, Google Cloud is known for its containerization and AI services. "If you're in the Google developer ecosystem, then you've been in Kubernetes from the beginning -- because they basically came up with [the idea]. The same thing with AI, you get advantages by being associated with their particular ecosystem," said Plummer.

Developers who work with different clouds will have a deeper knowledge of each platform as well as earlier access to tools from those providers. Being up to date on offerings from multiple clouds enables users to optimize performance and management on all their clouds.

In order to attract and retain customers, cloud providers must compete on price, functionality, discounts, consulting and more. If an enterprise can viably use multiple clouds to create its cloud infrastructure, it has the power to negotiate and force vendors to compete for its business.

"Your ability to get the right deal for [your company] is measurably impacted by your willingness to work with different cloud providers."

Cloud providers must constantly evolve and expand their services and capabilities to remain competitive. And to attract new users, they often have to leapfrog their competitors to make it worth the effort to switch providers.

Your ability to get the right deal is measurably impacted by your willingness to work with different cloud providers. Daryl Plummer

If your enterprise wants to advance its IT capabilities in a continuous and seamless manner, it needs to take advantage of this vendor competition, while avoiding excess disruption, Plummer said.

Organizations can then create business value by utilizing the best of what's available across cloud platforms. "That turns into money [and] into new opportunity much quicker than you might imagine," Plummer said.

Multi-cloud is not the end-all, be-all of IT infrastructures. While it is a great choice for many organizations, it's not without its flaws. While acknowledging the benefits of multi-cloud, Plummer also highlights three drawbacks associated with this cloud strategy.

Deploying multiple clouds is complex. IT teams can struggle to configure services on one cloud, let alone configuring services on two or three clouds, Plummer said.

Multi-cloud architectures are not for everyone, especially if developers and administrators aren't prepared for the complicated management required by running more than one cloud.

It's a myth that organizations can uniformly optimize costs with a multi-cloud strategy. While it is possible, it is more complicated than you might think.

"If you do it across multiple cloud players, [you] usually wind up spending more initially, and it takes a lot longer to figure out how to optimize costs in that new model, even with better negotiation," Plummer said. This is not to say that if you adopt a multi-cloud strategy you won't be able to optimize your cost, but there is a learning curve to the process.

If you're overeager to go multi-cloud, you run the risk of picking the wrong clouds for your enterprise.

"If you think spending money, people and time to get deeply embedded in one cloud is hard, what if you pick the second or third one and it's the wrong one, so you have to pick and choose again?" Plummer said.

Enterprises do face a potential downside to cloud providers' constantly evolving platforms. Even if one cloud is a good choice for your workloads now, it doesn't necessarily mean it will continue to be.

Still, even if you pick the wrong cloud, it doesn't mean you should give up, Plummer said. A good multi-cloud strategy will involve some degree of trial and error as you try to identify the best fit for your organization.
