As per a report by Forrester Research, “the global
public cloud infrastructure market will grow 35 per cent to $120 billion in
2021.” This rise has much to do with the global pandemic that forced each of us
to stay home and generate unprecedented market dynamics. Cloud computing is one
of the fundamental technologies on which almost every aspect of technology
depends. Today, we will look at how the DACH region’s cloud industry looks like
in 2021: the advantages of cloud computing, emerging technologies, and the DACH
industry’s professional requirements. Let’s get started!
Advantages of cloud
computing
Cost-effective and
consistent availability
Cloud computing eliminates the vast expenditures on
hardware. It lets businesses leverage ‘a pay as they operate model’ as per
their subscription plan. Hence, they pay only for the critical services and
components, thereby reducing overheads substantially. Along with that, cloud
computing claims an uptime of 99.9%, which means that services are always
available. This reliability factor gives the cloud a sharp edge in the current
day and age.
Enhanced flexibility
The shapeshifting operational models also alter
bandwidth requirements for businesses. Cloud computing makes it a breeze. It
meets the wavering bandwidth demands with ease. Companies can quickly deploy
remote servers to meet escalating demands. Conversely, they can also free up
some servers if the bandwidth demands take a dip.
Automatic software
updates
The off-premise infrastructure of cloud computing
gives it a significant advantage. The systems are managed and governed by
third-party stakeholders. Hence, the servers can release updates by themselves,
which frees the hassle to check updates regularly.
High-security
standards
Cloud computing is like the apocalyptic safe house for
businesses. If the in-house data centres are compromised, the backup on cloud
servers will save the day for you. Since the data is on the cloud, every
business stakeholder can easily access the data.
Emerging cloud
technologies
Cloud computing has been rapidly evolving to support
and sustain the latest technological advancements. Here are the most prominent
technologies that would take cloud computing to the next level in 2021:
Artificial
Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is the primary driving force
behind futuristic technology. Hence, AI also plays a decisive role in the world
of cloud computing. AI is responsible for making the existing cloud
infrastructure more advanced and adaptable. Once AI is deployed at large, it
will make clouds a lot smarter. Aspects such as language processing tools,
image recognition tools, and recommendation engines would be better integrated
and implemented. This trend would lead to higher effectiveness and overall
efficiency of the cloud infrastructure.
Multi-cloud
infrastructure
The evolving customer demands and market dynamics have
made the multi-cloud model imperative for the modern-day cloud industry. The
existing cloud platforms are being slowly transformed to offer exhaustive cloud
services as per the specific client’s requirements.
Hybrid and on-premise
cloud solutions
The choice between a public, private, or hybrid cloud
infrastructure has always been a difficult one. The one-size-fits-all approach
seems to underplay with the advancement in technology. Service providers need
to switch to a more customized model that lets users pick individual cloud
services as per their needs.
Following Amazon and Google’s footsteps, major cloud
service providers such as Microsoft and IBM are tending to offer a combination
of public and private or on-premise solutions.
Automated cloud
computing
As was the case in 2020, cloud platforms will continue
migrating towards automation. This is the result of the increased inclination
towards cloud infrastructure at the enterprise level. As more and more services
and applications move to cloud servers, managing interconnected services will
become more complex. Hence, cloud automation will be the key to
better-optimized and executed cloud computing and cloud transformation
operations.
