Five Focus Points of Cloud Computing

Over the past few years, with the exponential growth of cloud computing, it has indeed gone through its conceptual period. According to statistics, by the end of 2013, 60% of SMEs already use cloud services, and 70% of these enterprises have virtualized the core content of their servers. This shows that cloud computing will only increase in the future trend will not be reduced. So, the main focus of cloud computing landing in the future will be where?

1. Hybrid cloud

Since the advent of cloud computing, the debate over whether to use public cloud or private cloud has never stopped. For the enterprise, private cloud is more secure and more popular. However, as the public environment can not completely abandon the public cloud because of the public environment, the hybrid cloud is the best choice for some time until the public Cloud security is fully guaranteed. The hybrid cloud infrastructure combines the security and cost-efficiency of private clouds with the scalability of the public cloud. As hybrid clouds become more mainstream, more and more enterprises adopt this cloud deployment model.

2. Platform as a Service (PaaS)

PaaS solutions enable organizations to reduce their IT costs while improving test productivity and improving development approaches as applications are developed. According to an analysis by International Data Corporation, the global market for PaaS is expected to expand from 3.7 billion U.S. dollars to 14 billion U.S. dollars by 2017.

Big data

With the continuous development of science and technology comes a lot of data, massive data, that is, big data. More and more enterprises are realizing that the combination of big data analysis and cloud computing will make big data analysis more and more simple, Better find the value in big data. In the coming years, Big Data Analytics as a Service will be available to all businesses as a tool, regardless of size, to enhance its competitiveness in the global marketplace.

4. Graphics as a service

Often, running high-end graphics applications requires significant hardware infrastructure investment. However, cloud computing has changed this fact. There are a lot of cloud-based graphics technologies on the market today, all from leading graphics companies, including NVIDIA and AMD, who allow end-users to run high-end graphic design applications using a simple HTML5 browser.

Identity management and protection

With the Prism Gate incident in 2013, and the recent "Heart Bleeding" loophole, there is no doubt that the security issue is going to be a spatter for the cloud. This problem will become even more important as more and more entrepreneurs transfer more information to the cloud server. It is expected that more cloud-based security models will emerge in the coming year.
