5 Key Cloud Computing Trends That Will Shape Enterprise Computing In 2021
Cloud computing is the delivery of on-demand IT services that includes compute, storage, networks, datacenter, servers, databases, software, and applications over the web that provide innovations, flexibility, and scalability in business.
Everything nowadays moving to cloud. Thus, enterprises are switching their information over cloud. This method is not only secure but also time and cost saving.
It has become one of the most adopted platforms with its enabled digital transformation that resulted in fast growth and improved productivity of IT business.
Though there are certain real-time challenges faced with traditional cloud computing such as security problems, multi-cloud management, increased latency, and disaster recovery, which are being overcome by the upcoming trends in cloud computing.
Let us explore more about top 5 cloud computing trends that will shape enterprise computing in 2021:
1. Advance Level of Maintaining Total Cost of Ownership (TCO):
With cloud technologies, an enterprise can sum-up with maintaining the total cost of ownership of their infrastructure and its usability. Our product “CloudsIntel” is a platform where user can compare the cost related to the current client’s setup and the cost if the selected setup is moved to the cloud. CloudsIntel collects all the information from the user related to the on-prem resources that are discovered automatically. Advance level of maintaining total cost of ownership by CloudsIntel brings out a detailed report that shows the costing involved and highlights to the user with benefit that organization would achieve if moved to the cloud.
2. Multi-Cloud Provider Offerings:
Working on single cloud now is somewhat old and out of the technology scope. Companies are switching towards multi-cloud management. “CloudsBrain” by Click2Cloud is a multi-cloud management platform. This platform is an umbrella with multiple facilities that operate multi-functionalities. User can perform multi-cloud migration with “CloudsBrain”. Enterprises now adapting multi-cloud management platform for saving overall infra spends, saving time and money. Leveraging multi-cloud offerings benefits with maintaining the storage of infra, database, applications, servers, and networks. Multi-cloud management utilize public, private, and hybrid cloud services that benefits into a good business investment for enterprises. Multi-cloud offering avoids lock-in with one specific vendor. It maximizes the opportunity to optimize the costs and performance.
3. Improved Efficiency with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning:
The world of technology is enhancing in such a greater way that it leads many expertise and technical engineers with a roadblock. In cloud computing, many programming languages have been taken a good place in order to prove theories and software. Still, many enterprises face problems to come up with an idea in the world of artificial intelligence and machine learning with cloud computing. Machine learning and artificial intelligence platform helps in improving the efficiency that helps data engineers, scientists, researchers, scholars, developers, technical expertise to solve their issues related to gathering of data and moving to cloud, robotics learning, data analytics, data mining, evaluation of data, prediction model, and many more. CloudsIntel help enterprises to overcome these problems with advanced level technology and platform that helps to assess the information and switching the data over cloud.
4. Edge computing to reduce latency
Increased latency is one of the attributes that affect network speed and results in the delay of travelling cloud data from source to destination. So, to avoid such inefficiencies, edge computing comes to the forefront. It is a method to enhance cloud computing network by processing data, application, and compute resources at the edge of the network or nearby to the end-user.
Precisely, edge computing brings computation and data storage to local platforms such as CPU/laptop, IoT device, and edge server instead of centralized cloud computing. This reduces latency with help of network topology between client and server that results in reduced bandwidth, cloud resources, and cost. Hence, edge computing provides support to a large-scale enterprises looking for big data solutions.
5. Disaster Recovery and Backup
Network interventions, data interruption, system crash and network failure are some of the loopholes in cloud computing faced by different businesses. This leads to the loss of important data files and information. To overcome such challenges, disaster recovery and backup have become a trending solution.
It is a cloud computing backup strategy that utilizes cloud resources to protect its data and application in the event of human or natural catastrophe. It favours the organization by providing an entire system backup that allows smooth functioning of business. By replicating your entire cloud data, it acts as a secondary infrastructure that enables users and organizations to continue with daily business processes and run applications on VM’s in case primary system suffers any kind of disaster.
CloudsIntel with its backup and disaster recovery helps users to keep the storage at safe.
Summary!
These 5 keys cloud computing trends are already around the corner of implementation. Enterprises, which intend to increase their dependency on cloud computing should analyse the roles of total cost of ownership, multi-cloud management, improved efficiency with AI and ML, edge computing and cloud data backup to overcome the past challenges and take up the best cloud concepts that meets their business requirements and organizational growth.
