The Cloud Landscape of Thailand: Policies, Challenges and Opportunities
3 likes1,668 views
The document summarizes the cloud computing landscape and opportunities in Thailand. It finds that while cloud adoption is growing, there are still challenges around security, broadband access, and a lack of cloud service providers. The government is working to establish cloud policies and a national cloud, but security laws and a reluctance to use foreign cloud services have also limited the market. Overall, the private sector is beginning to invest in private clouds, public IaaS is in demand, and mobile cloud computing presents opportunities for future growth.
