Gartner: Cloud computing is at its "pinnacle of high expectations"

The Hype cycle (Hype Cycle) is a Gartner report on the cloud computing industry. In the report, Gartner predicts that cloud computing will disappoint some people in the near future. This must happen because the technology has reached its desired peak.

Citing the core message in the report, Gartner argues that cloud computing is at its "pinnacle of high expectations".

Analysts ' reports cover not just cloud computing, but technologies and innovations like micro-blogs, e-book readers, internet TVs, third-generation flat-screen TVs. By tracking the progress of each of these technologies, Gartner made the report "Hype cycle (Hype Cycle)", which includes technology triggers (Marvell Trigger), the culmination of high expectations (Peak of inflated Expectations), the Valley of disillusionment (trough of disillusionment), the enlightened slopes (Slope of Enlightenment), and the Productive highlands (Plateau of productivity).

Factors such as adoption, related markets and investment in technology are considered in the product and technical analysis of the hype cycle (Hype Cycle). An important note is that the company has taken into account all the technologies and new market factors that are based on the hype created by people in the IT field.

Although private cloud computing has just left the technology-triggering phase, cloud computing is slipping from the peak of expectations and heading towards the next stage. The cloud and network platform are in the same phase. This phase shows a growing interest in application development and transmission platforms.

Often, at this stage, people are unusually enthusiastic about the potential of the technology, even leading to false predictions. In the next phase, it will lead to even more disappointment. In this regard, we think about what is happening in the public virtual world. At this stage, each supplier will use industry terminology and technology to support their products, and access to new customers, commitment will bring many benefits to the future of the enterprise.

When the next stage of disillusionment, customers realize that technology to provide enterprises with the benefits of not meeting the commitment of suppliers. In another five years, Gartner predicts, cloud computing will become more mainstream, making it a transformative technology. Cloud computing is already widespread in a variety of businesses.

Some applications, like cloud parallel processes, cloud application development tools, hybrid cloud computing, and virtual Private cloud computing are all on the rise. Cloud enterprise Business Process management platform, PaaS (platform as a service), cloud storage, private cloud computing, cloud elasticity, cloud computing and cloud security services for enterprises are at their peak.

The Hype cycle (Hype Cycle) is useful for analyzing the various stages of new technology and monitoring new technologies on the same platform. So, for example, if an IT manager knows that a technology is about to go into the depths of disillusionment, he will be better able to cope with the disappointment behind it and be able to maximize its potential before the technology hits the bottom. The report is good for choosing the right time and the right type of innovation.

The Hype cycle (Hype Cycle) has tracked 1800 technologies in about 75 different industries. This year, new green it, performance management applications, enterprise architectures, and model-based strategic solutions have been added. In the 2009, cloud computing, virtualization and software services were, to some extent, advertised technologies.

Interestingly, managers can combine the hype cycle (Hype Cycle) with Gartner's precedence matrix (Priority matrix), the priority matrix (Priority matrix) is to put a technology in a grid of technological or innovative advantages that are different from mainstream technologies that have been in use for years.

Companies such as Microsoft and Apple have adopted the hype cycle (Hype Cycle), which can benefit the business. For example, considering their product introduction and management business will get a recommendation on the hype cycle (Hype Cycle) so they can make smarter decisions. Products, such as laptops, smartphones, and related database software technologies, precisely follow the example described in the Hype cycle (Hype Cycle).

As the cloud begins to sink into the depths of disillusionment, it may mean free time for IT managers and for cloud computing vendors who need respite.
