Malaysian managed ICT service provider Vads, a unit of Telekom Malaysia, has signed an agreement with Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) to enable ten local independent software vendors (ISVs) to use the Vads Cloud Enablement Programme. The ISVs will receive grants of up to MYR 34,000 each which cover Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), subscription cost (including bandwidth), storage devices, and other services as well to assist them to enable their applications as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). The software vendors will also have access to the Vads Marketplace to offer their applicaitons to SMEs. MDeC launched its MSC Malaysia Cloud Computing Enablement Initiative in October 2011 to boost the adoption of cloud computing.
