The top five applications currently deployed on the cloud platform

After completing the http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13423.html > Cloud computing Platform, enterprises should consider deploying business applications to cloud computing platforms. It should be noted that the transition of business applications to the cloud computing platform is not achievable overnight. In fact, not every business application should be listed immediately as a candidate to migrate to the cloud computing platform. From the current development of cloud computing, not every business application in the cloud computing platform can have very good results. For example, the cloud computing platform does not represent enough advantages for a workload that is very evenly applied over time. Enterprise users need to evaluate the application and migrate these business applications to the cloud computing platform gradually.

In addition, for a novice who has just built a cloud computing platform, it is a more important and tricky issue to use which strategy and configuration to deploy the application. IDC suggests that enterprise users should learn more and observe the success stories of cloud computing, and examine how applications similar to themselves can run in cloud computing environments to design their own application deployment strategies. Users can also look for vendors with deep experience in the implementation of cloud computing platforms as partners to avoid detours in application deployments.

In 2010, IDC also conducted a nationwide survey of IT applications deployed on cloud computing platforms, which showed the application deployment of domestic cloud computing users and future deployment plans. This result can provide a reference for the enterprise that considers the application deployment priority.

IDC Research shows that the applications that end users currently deploy on the cloud computing platform differ from the applications they plan to deploy. The top five applications currently deployed on cloud computing platforms are: business applications such as finance, CRM, Human resources, ERP, application development/test/deployment platforms, High-performance computing or science and technology (such as design, engineering, research and Development), business intelligence/analytics applications, and Web application self-help services. For the next three years, the top five applications deployed on cloud computing platforms are business applications, Web application self-help services, data backup or archiving services, information security, and IT management and network management.

compares the currently deployed applications and future plans. We will find that companies will migrate more applications to the cloud computing platform in the near future. For now and in the future, the most popular applications are "business applications". At present, some vendors are also providing cloud services based on CRM, ERP and so on, which is also the first accepted part of the user. In the future, some of the current applications on the cloud computing platform will transition from development and testing to more critical business, which is a change that is inevitable as the technology level of cloud computing matures. At the same time, IaaS services (dataBackup or archiving) will also be used more widely.
