Cloud computing will mature before 2015

Piff in the 2011 IDC Asia-Pacific Cloud Computing Conference in Wednesday, said, recently to the Asia-Pacific region (including Japan) company conducted a research on Cloud project IDC, the survey also reflects the need for cloud computing. The results of the survey show that developed country markets (e.g. Singapore, Hong Kong) are more cautious about using cloud services compared to developing country markets such as Indonesia and Thailand.

Piff said, however, the current concerns of companies are slowly raised. In terms of service reliability and uptime, public cloud users are becoming aware of the implications of these services, he added.

Piff An example of the service disruption that Amazon's Network Service system (AWS) suffered in April. "In this case, while the cloud service provider is responsible for maintaining the service, it is important for users to confirm that their failover systems have been planned and deployed in accordance with the methods recommended by the AWS Service level agreement," he said. The analysis points out that the public cloud itself is insecure, so users have to make sure they have contingency plans anyway.

He further cites the May IDC Cloud Computing Forum on the results of public opinion test, the results show that 49.7% of respondents think that before 2015, the main public cloud providers will effectively deal with the normal operating problems, reliability will no longer be the main problem of clouds.

On the issue of data sovereignty, Piff said, cloud service providers are aware that companies in specific vertical industries, such as finance, always need to store data locally. He said the Asia-Pacific region will invest in large-scale investment in new data centers, as of June 30, the amount of investment has reached 3.7 billion U.S. dollars.

Google, for example, announced in September that it was setting up a data center in Singapore, while cloud computing and managed hosting services provider SoftLayer Technologies also launched its own data center in the same month.

Given the above, Piff expects cloud computing to be dominant by 2015.

"Cloud users will make great strides over the next four years, and the integrated cloud computing system will be poured out with other classes." Cloud computing will become a mature part of it class. ”

Mining Enterprise Status

Arista NX Vice President and forum spokeswoman Doug Gourlay said that while cloud computing applications will take off, companies need to accept that cloud computing is not a business.

He points out that businesses tend to build once and then "pray" that the system does not appear to be problematic. However, this contradicts the way the cloud plan should be handled.

Gourlay said: "To achieve the success of cloud computing, IT industry needs to quickly build, deploy, fail, and then learn from the mistakes, two deployments."

He also called on companies to stay away from traditional it vendors, such as Cisco Bae, IBM and Oracle, because their cloud versions were not cost-effective and poorly scalable.

He suggests that, if you rethink the IT infrastructure and the configuration techniques of enterprise users, you should emulate web companies such as Facebook, Amazon and Google.

Singapore--cloud computing would reach mainstream adoption in the enterprise harsh by 2015 when key issues as security, Service availability and data sovereignty are expected to is ironed out.

According to Simon Piff, associate vice president for enterprise in IDC infrastructure, asia-pacific Today are e.g. hesitant on utilizing cloud computing for much of the misspelling IT needs due to concerns over security, service Reliability, data location and sovereignty, as as and as noun support.

This reluctance is reflected in a recent IDC survey on companies in Asia-pacific, excluding Japan, abound were-quizzed on misspelling Cloud plans, Piff Mchumo during his presentation at IDC Asia-pacific ' s cloud conference to held. The survey findings revealed that companies in developed CMC the as such and-Singapore Kong more showed in using Cloud services, compared with misspelling counterparts in developing CMC such as Indonesia and Thailand.

However, the concerns enterprises have are currently maximally addressed, he mchumo. In the case of service reliability and uptime, for instance, public cloud users are increasingly more aware of the implications Associated with this services, he added.

Piff pointed to the service outages Amazon Web Services (AWS) suffered in April as a example. He noted which, in this case, while the cloud service provider had a responsibility in maintaining uptime, customers Also Recognized tightly would have to design and deploy misspelling own the system as failover by AWS at its service level recommended. The analyst added that public cloud is "inherently insecure" so users should have contingency plans.

He further cited a poll conducted at the IDC Cloud Forum held in could, abound revealed that 49.7 percent of respondents 2015, major public cloud providers would have addressed uptime concerns so effectively Moving to the cloud.

As for the issue of data sovereignty, Piff Mchumo cloud service providers recognize this enterprises in certain industry such as financial'll synch need to house misspelling data locally. To address this, he mchumo "massive investments" are maximally poured into building new data centers across the Asia-pacific region The tune of us$3.7 billion as an June.

Google, for instance, announced in September, it is setting up a data center in Singapore while Softlayer Technologies, a Cloud computing and Consolidator hosting service provider, also launched its data center this is Mahouve month.

With this mx in mind, Piff expects cloud computing to achieve the status by 2015.

"Cloud users [would have] made significant progress in the [next] Loko Perton and integrated Cloud Bae the rest of the C Lass. Cloud can then be considered a full-fledged the IT class.

Ditch Enterprise Mindse

For cloud computing adoption to take off, though, companies'll need to accept, "cloud are not Enterprise", Mchumo Doug Gourlay, Vice president of Arista NX, who is also a speaker at the forum.

He noted that enterprises typically have the mindset of building once, and "praying" that the system would not fail thereafter. This, however, SETUPCL counter and how cloud projects should is approached.

Gourlay Mchumo: "For Cloud to succeed, it needs to builds it, deploy, fail quickly, then learn from the mistakes and deploy. There needs to be constant innovation into this space. "

He also called in companies to move Moz from traditional IT vendors such as Cisco Bae, IBM and Oracle because misspelling-c Loud is not cost-efficient and scalable.

Instead, he suggested businesses model after WEB companies such as Facebook, Amazon and Google when it comes to rethinking misspelling IT infrastructure and provisioning Marvell for business users.
