Cloud computing is misunderstood but perhaps not important

The

predicts that 2012 will be the year when cloud computing has lost its luster to businesses.

is not because cloud computing disappears. It just happens to be the opposite. It becomes so common that it users become commonplace businesses, and they forget to use cloud software.

An industry survey of the "ubiquitous cloud" over the past three months:

Many people are using the cloud but don't realize it

. A recent survey by Microsoft Canada of 705 companies found that: 19% said that they are not using cloud services at the moment, those using cloud computing solutions and services-because it was a survey conducted by Microsoft, it was pointed out that people are unsure whether some services are part of the cloud, such as Microsoft's Web applications, http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13685.html > Microsoft Office365 and Windows Azure "cloud" services. In fact, the number 19% may be too low. Just as a simple example, everyone uses an online demo service, such as Onweb,citrix, of course, Microsoft's Live Meeting? Is this delivered from the cloud? How many companies are there to use Gmail and calendar functions? Does the user care whether the application they are using is running in the IT department or in the cloud? The

Cloud weaves new technical measures

. There is an assumption that "cloud computing" as a category will continue to grow. But is this supposed to be? No company plans to take or subscribe to the cloud simply because it is "cloud". Instead, it's all about the application, and how they fit into the business. Even venture capitalists have not come up with these distinctions. The Peach Tree Consultancy survey shows that cloud computing technology is expected to grow more than half of its investment in the next three years. However, Barb Darrow looked at the results and wondered how cloud computing could sustain growth while corporate software shrank. Is it a cloud rather than an enterprise software delivery platform? The

IT department is driving the cloud

. Faced with all this messy cloud computing, no matter what the cloud serves. Just as computers eventually become the responsibility of the IT department, so will cloud management. A survey of 257 Oracle users found that the management teams of private and public clouds have been strengthened over the past year, reflecting the importance of the cloud within the enterprise. IT managers are increasingly playing a leading role in managing and identifying cloud resources within and outside their own enterprise. The

Cloud will go deeper into the enterprise and there will be a large number of corresponding problems. For example, who will eventually pay to build cloud services and run a business unit for manyOther people use? How will this be decided? The company will continue to study its security carefully-for its own private cloud as well as the public cloud. Finally, management issues, not the purchase of cloud services in the enterprise part of the business how to integrate into the overall structure of the enterprise.
