2013 Cloud Computing Market focus

2012 for the cloud computing market can be said to be a very important year, many it vendors to help enterprises, the government to build their own data centers, to achieve the real fall of cloud computing. What are the changes in the cloud computing market in 2013 worth looking forward to? Which manufacturer will be the biggest winner in 13? What will be the leading technology in the coming year? Take these questions and see how the experts answer them.

Here are some comments from journalists who are closely watching cloud computing.

Bill Claybrook

Software as a service (SaaS) as more customers realize the value of leasing software will be blowout. Cloud computing technology will address centralized management and centralized security requirements. There are two areas that deserve attention in the 2013, including mobile cloud computing and large data.

VMware will be the biggest winner following Amazon's Web Services (AWS). Manufacturers like Red Hat will not be able to achieve the success of any market outside their installation base. SuSE Cloud and SuSE manager like SuSE will affect the Linux cloud domain.

Mobile cloud computing technology will be the key to resolving the problem of managing and ensuring multiple mobile devices, especially with BYOD strategic cooperation. Large data will be integrated with cloud computing technology to help solve problems with large data management and large data security management.

I expect the infrastructure as a service (IaaS) to continue to evolve, and the platform as a service (PaaS) conversation continues around "everyone has a ... Definition "to develop something. If enough people start doing big data in the cloud, rather than talking about cloud data, 2013 will reach its peak.

The biggest winner? AWS, AWS, and ultimately AWS. Microsoft will continue to develop with its traditional zeal to gain respect. Microsoft can show the best Wuchang numbers if that's what you call winners.

Large data and media services will be the hot technology of the 2013. Everyone is busy with IaaS, but not so hot.

I think 2013 of all the major cloud services will grow, and the combined annual growth of SaaS, PAAs and IaaS will be around 25%. PAAs and IaaS alone will increase from $96.4 million trillion to $3.9 billion in 2013 from 2010. Platform agnostic IaaS will continue to accumulate the largest share, but the vendor agnostic PAAs will become the biggest cake-maker as the developer becomes more and more accustomed to shifting from local applications.

Amazon will continue to maintain its market-leading edge by continually cutting prices and introducing increased class PAAs performance frequently. Rich providers will catch up with Amazon's price, but smaller companies will be out, leading to more market consolidation. Forrester Research commented on the phenomenal growth of Windows Azure; Cloud products from IBM and HP did not even appear in the "Other" options of Forrester's survey of cloud developers. I personally think that Amazon and Microsoft will be my Cloud provider choice for the next two years.

The business unit will focus on large data, while developers are keen on Hadoop high-performance Computing (HPC), which will also result in increased revenue from IaaS and PAAs vendors leasing server clusters. Amazon's resilient MapReduce and Microsoft's Windows Azure hdinsight service may catch up with major Hadoop customers. Mobile platform applications, regardless of what system is running on, IOS, Android, Windows RT, Windows Phone 8, will dominate the cloud client. HTML5 promises OS agnostic client applications, so HTML5 becomes a time-saving tool, such as visual Studio LightSwitch HTML Client extension will help minimize development costs.

We will see more cloud-based system implementations in 2013, so we will be more concerned about what technologies are worth doing and what they can bring value. We'll see some pretty obvious failures and successes, and some of the new best practices revolve around the proper use of cloud computing.

We will continue to see the growth of PAAs and the integration of PAAs and IAAS systems as we see vendors like Google, AWS and Microsoft. This can also lead to many new PAAs-based development projects, and many midsize enterprises are on the way.

Smaller vendors provide service governance, management, and identity-based security, such as Layer 7, Apigee, Enstratus, and ping identities, which will be the biggest winners. After implementing the cloud computing project, it is necessary to manage and ensure that the Cloud application interface (API) and service security are all present.

In addition to the technology mentioned above, I would like to add a cloud performance management that focuses on better performance with distributed and complex systems and can be extended between public, private, and traditional IT systems.

The number of cloud vendors focused on adding "services" to IaaS to become increasingly PAAs-oriented will increase. More cloud providers will focus on services similar to Windows Azure, and software vendors will start offering versions of cloud-hosted design.

Microsoft will get a bigger share than others because the azure platform is a natural platform for small and medium businesses and developers/integrators. To make it a serious cloud competitor at the right pace, the biggest step is for other providers to also host Azure services. The Windows Service Bus is also a hybrid cloud-follower.

Mobile cloud will be the first, software definition network is second.

Dan Sullivan.

Cloud customers will have more options, such as the Google Computing engine, HP, and other providers who switch from test-mode products to full-scale products. How they compete with Microsoft and Amazon is an open question.

More customers will establish their own time and discipline to use IaaS, PAAs, and SaaS. will focus more on consolidating workflows and single sign-on. No one wants to see the migration from the local infrastructure to the cloud causing it islands. There will also be more technical support, such as single sign-on, cloud resource optimization, and data integration.

Windows Azure's IaaS and PAAs blends make it a very easy platform for administrators to use. The Azure SDK works with the primary programming language and is not Microsoft's core, so it is ideal for IT departments to support multiple programming languages while using Windows Server and Linux,azure.

However, Amazon has shown no sign of weakening its introduction of new services, while driving commercial products to reduce prices. If Amazon can maintain an ecosystem, it will allow integration of other services, and SaaS providers like Workday and FreshBooks will continue to evolve.

Consolidating access control is an important element in consolidating cross vendor and service workflows. Businesses like OneLogin will work. Data Analysis Services are necessary to extract value from large data. Analytics services will become more turnkey services, and users do not need to be MapReduce programming experts or Hadoop managers.
