Cloud computing forecasts: Public cloud value becomes smaller

Public cloud unification: internal Cloud will also be placed Gao. In the long run, the internal cloud (the cloud that runs in the enterprise's own data center, also known as the "Private Cloud") has no value.

Geva Perry, a presenter of corporate cloud computing and Industry dynamics, unveiled its predictions for the future of cloud computing as it prepares to hold a seminar on future trends in cloud computing in Israel:

Public cloud unification: internal Cloud will also be placed Gao. In the long run, the internal cloud (the cloud that runs in the enterprise's own data center, also known as the "Private Cloud") has no value.

For several reasons, he argues, there will be some specialized clouds. Different cloud platforms have different characteristics and the applications it supports. Some of the reasons come from the characteristics of the business itself, as well as from institutions such as businesses, banks and governments, and the general demand for privacy requirements and performance. He was convinced that there was no way to have an omnipotent cloud platform.

In addition, his language also raises issues related to standards, portability, and vendor ecosystems.

Control vs. Freedom: All the factors supporting the adoption of cloud computing are free (no upfront costs, on-demand services, self-help, licensing for ordinary people, such as developers). But control or (lack of control) is also a major obstacle to the adoption of cloud computing by large enterprises.

Cloud Federation: Any business that needs a lot of trust, such as IT, foreign brands can't beat local brands. So people will flock to the telecoms and large IT suppliers of the people they trust. On the other hand, cloud computing providers want to serve the world's users, so we will see the advent of the Cloud Federation.

Cloud Standard: This is also inevitable. However, we will see a number of competing standards. At the very least, there will be a formal standard and a number of de facto standards coexisting from business giants such as Amazon and VMWare.

The Battle of ecosystems: the success or failure of the cloud computing battle depends on who can successfully circle an ecosystem, the size and scope of which is important, but more importantly how well it operates internally.

Parallel and Vertical union: As with any industry, the maturity of cloud computing needs to be combined. It requires not only a level of union, such as a large IaaS vendor to be federated to a regional, small IaaS provider, but also vertical syndication, such as a provider of IaaS vendors acquiring cloud management systems (such as Rightscale and Enstratus).
