7 major cloud computing trends

Companies approved cloud computing and hybrid cloud is a trend.

2013 Cloud computing had broadly, the acceptance of the technology companies. Nearly 60% of small and medium enterprises said they use cloud services, while 72% of them use it for their servers. For 2014, further growth of cloud technology for all fronts, including infrastructure, software with personalized service and security policy is expected. CIO.com data suggest that models of computing private and hybrid cloud have information technology departments acting as brokers cloud and have more competition between suppliers. Service maturity will be a factor in the landscape of cloud computing in 2014. According to Michal Warrilow, research director at Gartner, the number of organizations using public and hybrid models (private part, public part) of cloud computing will increase in the next year.

Warrilow still says that IT departments will increasingly act as cloud service providers, intermediaries becoming the buyer / supplier relationship. A factor in this scenario of 2014 is the security and privacy of information. 2013 revelations about the spying of data from the National Security Agency US may lead companies to rethink their cloud computing strategies. 2014 will also be marked by the maturity of cloud computing on mobile devices, according to Rodney Gedda, senior analyst at Telsyte. Report by The Guardian cites some other trends in the sector for that year: cost reduction with IT, accessibility of advanced technologies to all employees of a company and use the cloud as a measurement tool to strengthen the relationship with customers and users. See what is expected for cloud computing and the seven major trends:

1- Hybrid Clouds

It should not be the end of the heated debates about public cloud vs. private cloud architecture in IT companies. Increasing hybrid clouds - security architectures that combine private clouds with powerful, scalable and cost-effective benefits to public clouds - should encourage many companies to adopt a cloud-based infrastructure. Hybrid clouds open up a wide variety of customized solutions for IT decision makers, pleasant both for those who appreciate the security and those who advocate the use of data.

2- Industrial Internet

Look for the Industrial Internet (aka the Internet of Things) to begin transforming its operations in 2014. Solutions combining intelligent machines, large data analysis and end-user applications are standing out through large industries. Platforms cloud computing will play a very important role in creating the next generation of machines, defined by intelligent software that are operable and fully controllable from centralized remote locations.

3- moved to Web Apps

Scalability and efficiency are among the main benefits of cloud computing, followed by the development of cloud-based applications, which are platform independent. With efforts like giving new life to the HTML 5 via JavaScript, the Web will become a great platform for cloud-based applications.

4- BYOD and Cloud IT in Business Personal

The BYOD movement is already reaching corporate environments and should be expanded in 2014. With its end users putting more of their own data personal cloud services for synchronization, backup and storage. IT executives are finding ways to incorporate personal cloud services in the corporate environment, from management techniques such as mobile devices.

5- Platforms Service (PaaS) continue to grow

More companies are going to be outstanding to adopt PaaS solutions in the coming years. The service platform computer (English Platform as a Service - PaaS) is the concept that is the service called hosting and implementation of hardware and software for use and accessibility of applications (software) via internet declining conventional method where programs are installed on the user's machine (s) and thus are restricted by specifications of operational systems and hardwares. PaaS enables applications to be implemented easily, as it eliminates the need of the cost, complexity of installation and management requirements related to hardware and software for each user of the application PaaS. It allows companies to reduce IT costs, as accelerates application development through test and more efficient implementations. According to IDC, the PaaS market will grow from $ 3.8 billion to US $ 14 billion through 2017.

6- Graphics as a Service

high-end graphics applications typically require massive infrastructure hardware, but cloud computing is changing that. With new graphics technologies for cloud-based companies such as AMD and NVIDIA, end users run graphically intensive applications, using nothing more than an HTML5 browser.

7- Identity Management in the Cloud

Cloud services offering accessibility, convenience, high power and redundancy, but with acquisition applications based in the cloud, companies need to be alert to the need to rethink security policies. Ensuring access management solutions, a form of identity and so new paradigms of security for the cloud in 2014.
