Now that the big data age has arrived, the role of the cloud is becoming increasingly prominent. People can almost get rid of the traditional hardware storage, as long as there is access to the Internet, people can easily from the cloud data Center for storage, transfer of all the required information, such as pictures, documents, high-capacity video and corporate information. So what are the trends in cloud computing and data centers in the next few years? There are 5 important trends that experts have listed below:
1. Cloud Application API
OpenStack, VMware, Cloudstack, and Amazon all create simple methods through "cloud" connections that allow developers to simplify cumbersome procedures and improve infrastructure levels without needing to know the details of source code or internal working mechanisms.
2, Software definition everything
As hardware becomes smaller, more sophisticated, and less expensive, software definitions all encompass the growing market momentum in the context of infrastructure programmability, the interoperability of data centers driven by cloud computing automation, DevOps, and rapid infrastructure delivery.
3. Mixed cloud
In the future of the cloud computing platform, almost everyone will take some kind of hybrid cloud platform, which becomes the trend. Most companies are associated with the cloud, and the goal of a new cloud management solution is to control the cloud, no matter what platform it is on. Mixed, public, private and even community clouds can be controlled. Future cloud computing platforms support hybrid deployments, easily enabling data to be transferred between private and public clouds.
4. Safety
Security is increasingly becoming an important indicator of the enterprise to consider the platform, the production of human life every day is generating a lot of data, and produce faster and faster. The ubiquitous "eye" and predictive power of large data is promoting the development of data privacy protection and security. Future cloud computing platform, cloud Administrator device and cloud server connection can be encrypted, but also can support a variety of authentication mechanisms, that is, based on VPN solutions, shared key + username + password, SAML and other federated identity, smart card authentication, and so on.
5. Mobile
In the post-PC era, the era of personal computers is coming to an end, and the development of handheld devices such as handsets has spawned a wave of mobility. Mobile programs around payments are committed to providing users with the best equipment and services, and in the future there will be more mobile devices and a corresponding service to be born. Local applications, such as iphone, IPad, Android, and Windows Phone, apply to mobile devices, including touch sensing, camera integration, mail integration, and more. In addition, cloud computing platforms and data centers can incorporate all enterprise content, including documentation, reports, bills, web pages, pictures, faxes, and even multimedia audio, video, and so on, and other information carriers and models to centralize management and control, combined with its powerful meta data search engine, for enterprises to provide business intelligence and large data analysis, At the same time provide network access, support online research and development design function, real help enterprises realize information.
