Frost & Sullivan: Wider Deployment of Cloud Computing Makes a Case for UPS Installation in the Asia Pacific PR Newswire KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, June 14, 2012 - Better Trained Manpower Crucial to Convince Reluctant End Users to Adopt UPS Based on New Technologies KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, June 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Several projects that were deferred during the economic downturn are now getting off the ground, generating demand for UPS systems. The market is expected to recover fully by 2015, mainly due to governments' emphasis on cloud computing, green technology and smart grids. New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.powersupplies.frost.com), Asia- Pacific Uninterruptible Power Supplies Market, finds that the market earned revenues of US$1.46 billion in 2011 and estimates this to reach US$2.03 billion in 2017. Data centres' popularity has raised the profile of cloud computing in Southeast Asia, Australia and Japan. Following this development, governments have been eager to adopt cloud computing to accelerate economic development, which, in turn, has accelerated the uptake of UPS systems. "Several public and private companies are included in governments' programmes to convert all government agencies' computing systems to a public cloud system, creating a cast market for UPS devices," says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Avanthika Satheesh.
