It will focus on new technologies like Node.Js based on JavaScript. NoSQL has caught the imagination of the industry due to growing use of Cloudant and goDB. “Miracle Software will teach both Cloud Native Application Programming and the Cloud Administration to make AP the most preferred rendezvous for manpower with digital technology skills,” company’s CEO Prasad Lokam told The Hindu on Saturday.
The company’s two locations in North Andhra have 2,000 employees. It has plans to add at 1,000 by setting up a new facility at Rushikonda here.
Mr. Lokam said cloud had turned into ‘go-to’ solution for many enterprises interested to prune their cost on infrastructure and lay emphasis on IT solutions. Leveraging public cloud in the form of shared resources and private cloud or hybrid cloud (dedicated resources) are becoming most preferred options to cut down cost.
