Cloud technology:- As technology continues to advance exponentially, it is exciting to gaze into the crystal ball and hypothesize how cloud technologies will innovate into the future.
Although the cloud technology marketplace is starting to mature, the expertise of IT professionals is continuing to evolve quickly. To help you understand where cloud technologies are heading we have done some research and provide some insights and a few predictions for the future.
We take look at how cloud technology will evolve and the obstacles and advancements that will likely challenge cloud technology over the next few years.
Traditionally IT has been based around being reactive and utilizing tools at their disposal to offer system support. Instead, the way cloud technology is developing we could see a complete role reversal for CIO’s and there IT counterparts. It is possible with the switch to cloud technology that IT experts can start acting proactively and implement efficient cloud-based strategies that are innovative and put companies on the front foot.
With cloud technology a lot of IT systems become automated. With this automation, more emphasis can be put into helping the efficiency of the business and creating innovation tools that help performance and production rather than spending time and resources on system maintenance.
More and more companies are switching to cloud technologies. As firms transfer their data across to cloud technology they will have to take stock of their security measures protecting their data and information. This will see a rise in the cloud access security broker (CASB) market. CASB’s are important to help monitor safety, control, malware protection and discernibly of cloud usage.
Investment in to cloud based security will tighten up safety measures. This will instill confidence for businesses that cloud technology is safe and secure. A flow on effect is that more businesses, and larger businesses, will transfer to cloud-based technology as the perceived security risk lowers.
As security enhances, so to will risk of cloud cyber attacks and data breaches. As more business transfer to cloud-based technology the risk of cyber attacks and violation of data become real. In 2016, data facilities not based in the cloud continue to be the focus of cyber attacks and data violations.
However, as more companies continue to place trusted information and data into the cloud, the risk of cyber attack, system breach and loss of cherished data increases. Into the future hackers will see compromising cloud technology as a more effective method to destabilize business.
The large cloud service providers are in a hurried competition to snap up data from existing enterprises. The idea is that these cloud service providers want to attract and lock in an entire company’s data and analytics onto their cloud server before the competition swoop in and snap them up.
Cloud service providers have the advantage of lower costs and are an attractive option for companies trying to synchronize their data across one platform. This ease of storage and reduced cost make it an almighty race to see who can secure the biggest market share in cloud service.
The secret is out for the benefits of cloud technologies for larger companies. Big multi-nationals with a large online presence, across an array of industries are starting to see the benefits of moving their data and analytics to the cloud:

The fundamental function of IT changes
Traditionally IT has been based around being reactive and utilizing tools at their disposal to offer system support. Instead, the way cloud technology is developing we could see a complete role reversal for CIO’s and there IT counterparts. It is possible with the switch to cloud technology that IT experts can start acting proactively and implement efficient cloud-based strategies that are innovative and put companies on the front foot.
With cloud technology a lot of IT systems become automated. With this automation, more emphasis can be put into helping the efficiency of the business and creating innovation tools that help performance and production rather than spending time and resources on system maintenance.
Security measures will tighten up
More and more companies are switching to cloud technologies. As firms transfer their data across to cloud technology they will have to take stock of their security measures protecting their data and information. This will see a rise in the cloud access security broker (CASB) market. CASB’s are important to help monitor safety, control, malware protection and discernibly of cloud usage.
Investment in to cloud based security will tighten up safety measures. This will instill confidence for businesses that cloud technology is safe and secure. A flow on effect is that more businesses, and larger businesses, will transfer to cloud-based technology as the perceived security risk lowers.
Cyber attack risks also rise
As security enhances, so to will risk of cloud cyber attacks and data breaches. As more business transfer to cloud-based technology the risk of cyber attacks and violation of data become real. In 2016, data facilities not based in the cloud continue to be the focus of cyber attacks and data violations.
However, as more companies continue to place trusted information and data into the cloud, the risk of cyber attack, system breach and loss of cherished data increases. Into the future hackers will see compromising cloud technology as a more effective method to destabilize business.
There is a big battle ahead for cloud companies
The large cloud service providers are in a hurried competition to snap up data from existing enterprises. The idea is that these cloud service providers want to attract and lock in an entire company’s data and analytics onto their cloud server before the competition swoop in and snap them up.
Cloud service providers have the advantage of lower costs and are an attractive option for companies trying to synchronize their data across one platform. This ease of storage and reduced cost make it an almighty race to see who can secure the biggest market share in cloud service.
Large companies begin to understand the benefits of moving to the cloud
The secret is out for the benefits of cloud technologies for larger companies. Big multi-nationals with a large online presence, across an array of industries are starting to see the benefits of moving their data and analytics to the cloud:
- Cloud technologies lower costs of storing data
- Lower overheads results in increased expenditure in other areas of IT and see a shift to more innovation.
- There is harmonization across the company with cloud technology. Large companies are able to deliver a better service, run their operations more efficiently and lower the risks by operating on cloud technology.
Eventually all production apps will be in the cloud
The cloud allows for production apps to make gains in efficiency and be developed more cheaply. Financially, it is a sound decision to move production apps to the cloud. Cloud technology allows production apps to be created by using only what is necessary, significantly reducing overheads.
Technically, there are advantages of developing production apps in the cloud as well. The biggest advantage of cloud technology for production apps is providing the ability to scale easily. Increasing proficiency with growth saves time, resources and ultimately money. Cloud technology is smoothing the path for production apps and eventually they will all be in the cloud..
