But many organizations keep putting it off. And you can’t blame them. Cloud migration is difficult, complex, and causes a general disruption in your business. And disruptions are potentially expensive.
In a nutshell, cloud adoption is risky and easy to put off if you don’t see an immediate need. But as Bill Kleyman put it, if you want to disrupt a digital-driven market, you yourself must be disrupted.
And with this greater spend comes a greater focus on optimization, reliability, security, and more. For many enterprises, cloud adoption is no longer a choice – but a competitive requirement. Customers expect speed and scalability as well as lower costs and security.
In order to keep up with the complexity of multi-cloud strategies, new trends in cloud computing are emerging. Here 5 cloud trends we’re seeing in 2020.
July 2014’s Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference in Washington DC had some great advice from Microsoft partners on their strategies – and the challenges they face – in delivering .NET, cloud-based computing services.
First, the challenges. There is the perpetual challenge of getting customers already invested in hardware and software to be proactive in moving off of their existing platforms. Customers tend to be happy with the solution they have, and don’t always see the value in changing technology.
Yes, in ten years, we will hardly ever mention “the Cloud” and all related buzzwords surrounding cloud computing.
Notice what I am not saying: that cloud computing will go away.
Cloud computing will simply have been ingrained in the technology we use, and will cease to become a meaningful term for technologists. We’ll all be cloud computing pros, in enterprise and consumer fields alike. Says a recent article:
“Cloud computing in ten years will have gone off in various directions, all systemic to how we handle enterprise computing in the future.”
Buy one Xbox One console, get three virtual consoles along with it — those companions will be stored in the cloud.
That’s the news to come out of Microsoft since its announcement of the Xbox One. Xbox Incubation and Prototyping program manager Jeff Henshaw said that for each console built, the company will provision the CPU and storage equivalent of three consoles in the cloud. Sources on the subject conclude this will allow for immense resources for developers to build bigger on and for the new console.
Sources have also been quoted purporting the new system to be ten times more powerful than the Xbox 360, and “effectively forty time greater” in terms of processing capabilities, because of the cloud.
For the past few decades, the relational database has been the dominant model for database management. But non-relational — the “cloud” or NoSQL option — is gaining ground now, as a strong, viable alternate as businesses see that a relational database model may not be the best solution for all.
It cannot be ignored: choosing SQL or NoSQL to manage your database is important. If your data matters, then it also matters which query language is applied to your databases. You cannot afford to leave it to the IT experts alone.
Each has its strengths and weaknesses, its benefits and drawbacks for your enterprise. So which one is best? That depends on what you need it to do.
In a dynamic business environment, it’s often unclear what type of marketing activities achieve results or what new experiments to try. In times when the stock market changes by double digits in a month, common wisdom doesn’t always apply.
Innovative companies experiment with new approaches, but need to be able to measure the results of small micro-campaigns or use historic trends to justify investment. We ran into a situation where we wanted to better understand how periodic follow up affected revenue. While this data was already in Saleforce.com, there was no way to rank and sort leads based on the number of tasks. The goal was to create a score to focus on the ones that had gotten the least attention.
