JAMMU, Nov 18: Kathua Campus of Jammu University organized a guest lecture for the students of MBA and MCA programmes on theme “Emerging Technologies”, in which sixty five students participated.
Amit Nirmal, Project Head at Orange Business Services headquartered at France was the resource person on the occasion. Amit discussed about IT trends in general and touched upon areas as Voice Over IP (VOIP), Cloud computing and Virtualization.
The interactive session was organized under the overall guidance of Prof Neelu Rohmetra, Rector, Kathua Campus, University of Jammu so as to bring in practical insight into the ongoing curriculum of MBA and MCA programmes, thereby value adding along the industry-academia interface dimension.
While interacting, Amit Nirmal appraised that VOIP is one of the cardinal technologies wherein the existing IP (Data) network is used to send the Voice traffic. This helps in achieving significant cost reductions and seamless communication across multiple locations of any company. Contact Centers, Call Centers and most of the tech-supported companies are already using this concept to cater to their customers. He explained how ‘Cloud Concept’ offers another option of off-loading the management overhead and additional cost reductions for anyone who uses the cloud based services offered by key players. There has been a huge growth in this field over the last five years and non IT companies have been more keenly interested into it, he said.
Further Amit elaborated how virtualization helps in cost savings and reducing administrative overhead using one piece of hardware and segmenting it to make multiple virtual machines with each catering to the individual specific business requirement.
Earlier, Dr Naresh Sharma, in-charge MBA Programme and co-ordinator of the workshop presented the welcome, whereas in the end, Dr Vivek Sharma, Academic Coordinator presented formal vote of thanks. Besides the students, the session was also attended by MCA and MBA faculty at Kathua.
