Cloud computing-shifting focus to PAAs, analytics and mobility

If you look at the hour clock, you will not notice that it is walking, but you cannot draw the conclusion that the hour is not going to go. Similarly, if you look at what is happening on cloud computing every day, you can hardly see any change. Then, if you take a step back and compare the situation with the current two years ago, you will see a more realistic change.

Do you want to know what is hot in the cloud computing field and what is not? Then you should think about where these startups are putting their entrepreneurial energies, and under the radar conference is a good place to look for promising startups. The conference is held two times a year, about 30 startups, each with six minutes to impress venture capitalists looking for companies with potential ideas.

However, if you want to know how cloud computing has changed over the past two years, it's time to compare the profiles of these startups with those of those companies two years ago.

Focus Shift

Two years ago, the main concern was:

1. Tools for managing cloud applications and environments (27 home 13)

2. The best way to store data in the Cloud (27 home 6)

Then, the focus of this meeting is completely different:

1. PaaS (Platform as service) and other ... Service (10 of 32 families)

2. Different types of analysis, including social analysis and the use of large data (32 out of 7)

3. Provide mobile Solutions (32 of 6)

Yes, there are still 7 of cloud monitoring and management tools, but you'll find that the number is about half the size of two years ago.

Conclusion：

1. Basic cloud facilities are mature and adequately managed

2. Forrester's prediction may be correct, that is, "platform-as-service" development is faster than "infrastructure as Service (IaaS)"

3. Mobility has become the biggest driver of application cloud
