Large data analysis, fire

As cloud computing moves from test to production, the real world is increasingly focused on the details of cloud computing. We found the trend of cloud computing in the new Year. These hot topics may not be the hottest, but 2012 has been the technology, the point of interest has begun to warm up, some cloud computing problems and the main idea we will be in 2013 years to face.

Large data analysis

This year has proven the power of large data and the competitive advantage it can bring to businesses. According to Gartner, the impact of big data in the 2013 was only expanded through research on the web.

Businesses are beginning to see the benefits of using business Intelligence (BI) in large data bundles that are bound in cloud computing. Cloud computing provides scalability, making it a practical vehicle for large data analysis. Hadoop, Cloudera, and other large data tools and devices will be the headlines of the 2013, and the trend in cloud computing is a new perspective, such as the consideration of putting large data into the cloud.

Cloud computing Standards

Data security was a barrier to corporate cloud applications in the 2013, but as this concern diminished, the lack of cloud-computing standards and compliance issues began to emerge. According to Google Trends, the search for the term "cloud computing standards" has climbed at the end of the year, showing concern in this area.

It experts want to stop the war on the Cloud Application Interface (API), which is caused by cloud application management platform (CAMP), Platform-Service (PaaS) management APIs created by the seven major cloud service providers. However, there is still a boundary between Amazon Web Services (AWS) APIs, a new standard, and the alternative comes from OpenStack vendors. Because many companies are not in the same row, cloud computing standards are still the controversial topic of the 2013.

BYOD strategy

Google Zeitgeist 2012, which lists the top keyword trends of the year by category, the top 10 list in Consumer electronics includes the ipad Mini, the Kindle Fire, Microsoft surface, and six other personal mobile devices. The only non mobile device is PlayStation, ranked sixth. No surprise, the desktop is everywhere. is not a notebook computer.

BYOD has become a wave of the year, but this year the company will use mobile devices to capture its end users by creating policies and protocols. BYOD is developing in the enterprise, as is the case with small and medium-sized enterprises, regardless of whether it department knows or likes it. This year when it had to know about mobile devices in its enterprise, it was necessary to create security and other BYOD strategies to protect the company's data and even take advantage of the benefits and innovations that BYOD could bring.

IaaS Cloud Manufacturers

Autumn is a busy season for infrastructure, the service (IaaS) market. Major IAAS vendors are involved in price wars, while smaller providers are starting to win heads. Amazon's Web services, Rackspace, and other large IaaS cloud providers cut prices, hoping to master the market, with smaller manufacturers using more economic to attract more attention, such as Profitbricks and Cloudsigma.

Gartner has proposed that PAAs accelerate in the 2012 choice of services, but many risk-averse companies are concerned about delivery to IaaS. In the new year, all the changes in the IaaS market are the winners and losers.

Cloud Certification

IT managers worry about the areas where they work because of cloud computing, which leads to job security, and companies looking for cloud talent will focus on cloud certification. "Cloud Training Program" at the end of 2012 search volume is also rising, showing the cloud cloud market at any time to achieve the continuous increase in the lack of talent.

"A friend who worked at Google said that data scientists are like ' pink unicorns ' and there are only 120 pink unicorns in the world, real data scientists know how to manipulate and manage large data and deliver business value," said Brian Lent, co-founder and chief technology officer of Medio.

Rackspace began OpenStack certification last October and plans to release other cloud training programs. The company aims to help employees find qualified cloud experts. There is a growing demand for cloud computing expertise in many areas of it. Existing IT pros worry about their jobs and expect to be "pink unicorns".

Cloudstack/openstack

Since April si jie from openstack separation, created Cloudstack, two big open source cloud choice is in a fiery competition.

Rackspace in the Cloudstack in August, eventually providing a OpenStack-based public cloud service that provides a heavyweight API. However, it is still unclear whether other manufacturers will follow the trend in 2013. At the same time, other cloudstack and OpenStack alternatives have also attracted a lot of attention, eucalyptus to support the cloud giants AWS and Opennebula. In this battle of the war, not to see the open source of the light can grasp the vision of corporate it.
