What will cloud computing look like in 5 years?

Cloud computing currently in the domestic development can be described as "in full swing", Cloud mobile phone, Cloud TV, cloud life in front of the overwhelming presence, while we also see a large number of cloud computing companies came into being, not to say how the company's development, it is obvious that cloud computing has become a major trend in the But a recent survey in the United States showed that most American users do not understand how cloud computing works, and that even cloud computing is unknown. So what will cloud computing look like in 5 years? The original author, Phil Wainewright, has a deep research in cloud computing development and, when asked about the future development of cloud computing, publishes a blog post that is sorted out below.

The cloud will shift to the mobile world, including social

If you are consulting a technical expert on the definition of cloud, you will soon be dragged into the discussion of virtualization, automated management, and data center design. If you're consulting business people, they'll talk more about how they can use the application to share resources and keep in touch with each other in different geographic spaces. Business people may be more realistic: the most important advantage of cloud connectivity technology is incredible speed, agility and the ability to make business transition. Some people say that cloud computing is just a buzzword, it is close to the end of the heyday, but the authors still think that the cloud will continue its own glory, and is not just a technical popular language, but a layman to the automatic connection of the title.

Cloud computing will give many businesses a chance to flourish

Cloud, in the broadest sense, is a platform to connect to global network resources, while cloud computing also changes the industry. We can look at the development of various forms of media and publications, retailing, advertising, marketing, and information technology, where companies will use the Web to open up new businesses and drive rapid growth in products and services. Software is developing rapidly and changing the world at the same time.

Many companies are in trouble because of the development of cloud computing

Everything has two sides, there is also a dark side to the success of the new business, and cloud computing will put a lot of old players out of the game, and there is no doubt that this will have a negative impact on the development of society, because the reduction of massive capital investment will inevitably lead to thousands of workers looking for new jobs Many people have to undergo retraining to be competent for new challenges. Most troubling of all, the social influence that giants have spent over the years is not easy to eliminate, they can exert influence on policy makers.

Government will hinder the process of cloud computing development

Just last month, the European Commission announced a new strategy for cloud computing, with the ultimate aim of increasing the EU's gross domestic product by 160 billion euros in 2020, and in order to help achieve that, policymakers want to regulate the development of cloud computing--on the good side, The government will take the development of cloud computing as a powerful motivator. But when old industry giants find that cloud computing will have a damaging impact on their existing industries, they are bound to lobby policymakers, who believe that the government is vulnerable and will soon break the "wings" of cloud computing. Governments in many countries around the world are already cutting their citizens ' access to cloud resources. As the pressure of the economy increases, the development of cloud computing will get worse, but never better.

The cloud does not become a mere public cloud or a private cloud.

Since all enterprises must participate in the competition of today's economic environment, the distinction between private cloud and public cloud becomes "illusory", and all information technology instances have to run in the cloud. Who can guarantee that public cloud providers do a better job, that most of the future organizations are a mix of public cloud resources and private cloud platforms, and that as the industry matures, it will become increasingly reliant on third cloud service providers.

The cloud will certainly be established, and there will never be much discussion on the appellation.

If you ask the CIO of a business: Does your company use cloud computing? I believe very few people will raise their hands. However, if they are asked if they have used Salesforce.com, concur, SuccessFactors, WebEx or some other technology, most people will admit that they are actually using them. As cloud computing becomes more mainstream, it is less likely to be mentioned because it has become a default it mode of operation. There is no need for the future to explicitly mention cloud computing, it will become commonplace things, like hydroelectric power, on demand, pay by volume, I believe very few people will ask, "Do you use electricity today?"
