Microsoft 'windows Azure' latest offering in the area of cloud computing




Hi Friend's

In the beginning of the year we talked about the "Top 10 Strategic Technologies for 2010' and "CLOUD COMPUTING" is the No. 1 in that.

Global Giant Microsoft unveiled a portfolio of services in INDIA that will help companies to share software and storage facilities, called CLOUD COMPUTING. With the use of the new service can bring down the IT expense by more than 50%.

Microsoft India Group Director Vikas Arora said that the company latest offering in the are of cloud computing "WINDOWS AZURE" is now available commercially in India.

Cloud computing will be the great technology to reduce the IT expenses and will help company to come out from the recession.In cloud computing, companies share computer resources — such as servers, software and data storage — through the internet, instead of setting up such infrastructure at their own end.

Both individuals and companies are already using cloud computing with services such as web-mail and sharing of software and other applications. The concept is evolving into a simple, pay-per-use way to get services on tap, just like electricity, for businesses.

The cloud is also a green way to do business. Organisations don’t need to set up server banks running lots of software — just pay for what you use. The provider services many users from one set of equipment, halving energy and equipment cost per user.

PayPal Update : RBI has allowed us to continue local bank withdrawals


We have been diligently working with the RBI and our business partners to resume Indian bank withdrawals for the thousands of Indian businesses who depend on PayPal to sell their goods or services in the global marketplace.

Today, we are happy to announce that the RBI has allowed us to continue local bank withdrawals for settlements for exports of goods and services.  We are currently making changes to comply with Indian regulations for settlements for exports of goods and services, and we anticipate that, as of Wednesday,

March 3rd, customers will be able to use our bank withdrawal service.
 

As part of the changes, you will be required to fill out a new field entitled 'Export Code' when you request a withdrawal. This information is required under the current laws of India in order to identify the nature of cross-border merchant transactions. 

Moving forward, the RBI has told us that PayPal needs specific approvals to allow personal remittances to India, which we currently do not have.  Until we get these approvals, personal payments into India will remain suspended.  However, if you are an exporter, you will continue to be able to use the PayPal service for payments of goods and services.  In fact, with the changes we are making to our system, PayPal is now set to be a more powerful engine for exporters in India.  With purpose codes for export transactions and FIRCs (Foreign Inward Remittance Certificates), you should now be able to get the export related benefits you seek.

You can check the PayPal blog for additional updates.
