Chennai, November 6, 2009: CSS, a leading technology operations management organization headquartered in San Jose, CA, is set to co-host the Amazon Web Services Cloud Workshop 2009 in Chennai on November 10th at the Tidel Park Auditorium.

The AWS workshop is conducted by the AWS User Group in Chennai and is a platform for system integrators, ISVs, software architects and technical decision makers in product engineering to understand the unique characteristics of the AWS cloud.

The highlight of the event is the CSS workshop on the Go Cloud Services by the Go Cloud Project Management from CSS Labs. This would be the first time such a workshop is conducted by CSS specifically for the AWS user community. CSS Labs develops solutions for all platforms, adapting a customer's existing software for the cloud and supporting those implementations across multiple virtual environments.

Developed by CSS Labs, the Research and Development arm of CSS, the organization has recently launched Go Cloud, an entire suite of platforms and services based on cloud computing, that will help companies to become cloud-enabled. The Go Cloud initiative includes innovative, web-based tools to seamlessly leverage the Amazon Cloud Services and maximize the potential of cloud computing technology across companies; and powerful, flexible in-house platforms to effectively enable cloud-based services.

According to Nick Sharma, CEO, CSS Corp, "Cloud Computing is significantly changing the way business is conducted across sectors, today. CSS Corp is established as a player with a strong repertoire of adopting to new technology platforms and innovating, with an objective of enhancing our clients' OPEX optimization." CSS is also a pioneer in Remote Infra Management services (i.e. Infrastructure as a Service) and one of the earliest adopters of cloud computing technology.
