While not many firms are currently using cloud computing in Taiwan, there seems to be an ever-growing demand for the new technology, according to 104 Job Bank. The company said there were a total of 1,640 cloud related positions being offered in the country as of this week, up from 1,341 in November.

“Despite the global economic uncertainties led by the eurozone debt crisis, demand for cloud computing professionals from local companies is quite strong,” 104 Job Bank marketing director Regis Chen said during a press conference, according to Taipei Times. He said the increase in demand for cloud applications also reflects a higher amount of wages for cloud computing experts with monthly salaries increasing 10 percent to $1,280.

While only 25 percent of firms in Taiwan have built a cloud computing platform, compared to what the The China Post said is 60 percent globally, there have been indications that there will be increased demand, according to Barry Chen, president of global virtualization and cloud infrastructure service at VMware.

The cloud continues to enhance operations for businesses throughout the world by increasing flexibility and scalability without jeopardizing data security. As countries like Taiwan make their moves into the cloud, expect the industry to experience even more innovations in technology.
