Web Hosting Hit

Hosting and cloud enablement software firm Parallels (www.parallels.com) announced on Thursday that its annual Parallels APAC Summit will return to Asia in September this year, scheduled for September 24 to 26, 2010, in Singapore.

According to the announcement, the aim of the summit is to provide cloud service providers – a group that includes hosts, telcos, communications service providers, distributors VARs and ISVs – with insight and strategy for enhancing productivity and efficiency in Asia.

“The success of last year’s Summit demonstrated both the sizeable opportunity represented by cloud computing and Parallels’ position as a key strategic partner for players, especially in Asia Pacific where we are experiencing tremendous growth,” says Serguei Beloussov, CEO of Parallels, quoted in the press release. “The fastest adoption of cloud services is amongst small businesses where the cloud allows for fast deployment of IT services in a cost effective and flexible manner. Asia is a huge growth area for cloud services as an estimated 38 percent of the world’s small businesses are in this region. The Parallels APAC Summit is the key event in Asia for hosters and service providers to profit from the cloud.”

The three-day summit will take place during the SingTel Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend, and, according to Parallels, will feature keynote sessions presented by Parallels executives, as well as guest speakers from other organizations, including Warren Adelman, president and COO of Go Daddy.

Adelman was a presenter at the Parallels Summit in Miami, held in February of this year. And in a Thursday announcement on the opening of a new office in Hiawatha, Iowa, Go Daddy mentioned plans to open an Asian office this fall.

Parallels APAC Summit will also include a cloud services panel featuring a range of Asian service providers, including Bhavin Turakhia from Directi in India, Daryl Webb from Webvisions in Singapore, Jason Frisch from Tsukaeru.net in Japan, Michael McGoogan from AussieHQ in Australia, and Natalie Kong from PacHosting in Hong Kong.

Bryan Powell, Director of Recruiting at Rackspace explained, ”itzbig is different in that it allows us to find high-performing employees who would otherwise not feel comfortable exploring jobs on the Internet. itzbig is attractive to these candidates because it offers privacy, security, and anonymity as well as the ability to see exactly how they match up against the specific job opportunity.”

According to the company, from the candidate’s side, itzbig is different than other available online recruiting services. itzbig’s networked approach gives prospective employees the ability to control their job search in that they determine what input they chose to provide for each respective position.
