“It’s clear that cloud computing is fundamental to the next wave of digital development.”
According to statistics, the cloud service market is anticipated to grow to 623.3 billion dollars by 2023. The reason behind this massive and consistent growth is the rising importance of data and information safety. Approximately 94% of the enterprises are already using cloud services, either in-house or outsourced.
The global pandemic has also played a crucial role in rapid cloud adoption and migration. In 2022, this sector is expected to outdo. The focus will be on deploying more cloud-based tools and platforms to improve company strategies.
Speaking of deployment and strategies, let’s take a look at the top 3 predicted trends of 2022.
- Evolution With Exciting New Use Cases
Every digital service, be it social media or autonomous internet of things (IoT) infrastructure, requires cloud computing infrastructure. It acts as a backbone of the delivery pipeline of every project. Furthermore, the upcoming networks such as Wi-Fi 6E and 5G require more data to be shifted or used for cloud-based programs.
Such platforms will undoubtedly increase the level of investment. Not to mention, with the evolution of more cloud-based programs, particularly VR and AR, the technology will become faster, lighter, and more accessible. This will act as the key driver of cloud migration in infrastructure and IT operations. As a result, businesses will reduce expenses, improve agility, and gain a competitive advantage.
- Goal Of Becoming Net-Zero Carbon Building
Every enterprise is well-versed with the challenges occurring due to climate change. Therefore, they are working toward accomplishing sustainable goals with the help of innovations and measures.
Big organizations are aiming to become net-zero carbon buildings. In simple terms, buildings are energy efficient, use renewable energy sources (on-site and off-site) to offset carbon balance.
This goal is becoming a driving force behind more environment-friendly cloud innovations.
Wondering- How?
Well, in addition to reducing carbon wastage, the companies are also paying attention to reducing the “downstream” energy by controlling data centers and server farms.
- Use Of Hybrid Cloud
As the companies are migrating to the cloud, they encounter two options, i.e., public and private cloud solutions. Generally, private cloud solutions are used where the data is sensitive and required for regulatory purposes. The companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM (the biggest cloud providers) have their own cloud where they keep all the information that never leaves the premises.
However, now the companies are expanding the horizons of public and private cloud to absorb the best of both worlds. This approach or “Hybrid” model is beneficial for the company and customers. The data which needs to be frequently and quickly accessed by the customers is kept public. While other information is kept in the private servers. It helps in reducing the complexity while streamlining the user experience.
In The Nutshell
Cloud adoption and migration will be on the rise. And bring along numerous benefits to users, both enterprises as well as customers. Nevertheless, it is essential to get in-depth knowledge about the same and formulate strategies that will assist the trends of 2022.
