The Webinar was held in the benign presence of Prof. Subrata Mukhopadhyay, Chairperson, CNA Group and Former Chairperson, IEEE Delhi Section, Dr. Ajay Thakare, Prof. A. K. Saini, Vice President-cum-President Elect, CSI. The webinar began with the welcome address by Prof. Subrata Mukhopadhyay welcoming all the guests and participants. Prof. M. N. Hoda, Director, Bharati Vidyapeeth's Institute of Computer Applications and Management (BVICAM), New Delhi also addressed the session and discussed the background note of conducting such Webinars through virtual platforms. He emphasized that these webinars act as networking tools to connect people from across the world and help them to adapt to a New Normal life, a new ecosystem caused by COVID-19. He also discussed the five phases of COVID-19 i.e. Denial, Anger, Bargain, Depression and Acceptance and motivated the participants to directly move to Acceptance phase from Bargain phase without going into Depression phase, which is also one of the objectives of these weekly webinar series. He also motivated participants to keep learning continuously regardless of all disruptions.

Mr. Deepak Goyal, AVP, Altran, Gurgaon was the lead speaker of the webinar. The webinar was aimed to discuss the Cloud computing application-based software infrastructure that stores data on remote servers, which can be accessed through the internet. The front end enables a user to seamlessly access data stored in the cloud using an internet browser or cloud computing software. It enables the user’s on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage (cloud storage) and computing power, without direct active management by the user. There are three main service models of cloud computing–Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS). In the backdrop of Industrial Revolution 4.0 having a high degree of virtualization, significance of cloud computing is increasing every coming day.

The session concluded with Question & Answer session where participants willingly asked their queries. Prof. M. N. Hoda gave his heartfelt appreciation to Prof. K. Subramanian for his valuable and detailed session. He also thanked all the participants and panellist for giving their precious time in attending this webinar and making all the webinars hosted by BVICAM, a huge success. The webinar attracted more than 400 participants from across the world.
