Evolution of Cloud Computing with Multi-Cloud & its Increasing Demand info@expertsconsult.org +1-971-336-6410 www.expertsconsult.org What is Cloud Computing? The notion of cloud computing came in the 1960s but is believed to be used actively around 2006. However, cloud computing basically came into view to make things easier and better when it comes to data storage over the network called cloud without taking personal space in the personal computers or systems. Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computer resources based on data storage and computing ability without being actively managed by a user. In simple terms, cloud computing is the data centers available online over the internet for several users. Cloud computing enables data storage, data deletion, data editing, data updating, and data management over the internet for everyone to control and use as per their preference, i.e the delivery of different services via the internet. The different resources combine the tools and applications like data storage, databases, software, servers, and networking. Cloud computing provides services based on different modes of its own. The modes include: Platform-based services Platform-based services mean providing a platform as a service to the users as to offer the developers an opportunity of building applications and services over the cloud (internet). It is called a platform as a service or PAAS. Application-based or Software services Application-based services of cloud computing offers the cloud providers to operate application software over the cloud for its client to use and access from the cloud whenever they want. Such services are majorly used in the IT sector based on data and information. It is also called as software as a service (SAAS) or application as a service. These application services are either presented to the users or clients based on their demand or through a subscription mode. It can also include payment mode or free services. The best part about having an application software over a cloud is to let the space in your hardware be free as you don’t need to download or keep the file in your system. Infrastructure based services In infrastructure as a service or IAAS, organizations provide a computing infrastructure as a whole to offer services based on demands. IAAS offers numerous features and types of services that include private networks, email servers, individual servers, disc drives, long term storage devices messaging system, and domain name servers. Types of Cloud In cloud computing, the cloud can be provided to users and clients in different types or forms. Any suitable cloud is adopted and used by the users that match their requirements best. These different types of clouds contain: Private Cloud A private cloud is provided or is suitable for a certain type of user such as custom-based clients who require a tightly secured network with high safety and security on data and information. Public Cloud Public cloud as the name suggests provides services to myriad users and clients which is there for almost everyone to work on. Hybrid Cloud Hybrid is a mixture of both, the public and private cloud facilities which can also be used to transfer the data or information from one cloud to another. Trends in Cloud Computing Cloud computing didn’t just bring a whole aspect of controlling and managing data/information in the best way possible, but it also brought a whole new window of possibilities and opportunities when it comes to data and development. Organizations adopted cloud computing technology and applications related to it to grow and expand its business and operations. Not just this, it hugely helped them to create new services and offer them to clients by being completely transparent and reliable. Cloud computing is scalable and customizable for every user and so it offers flexibility in developing and creating different solitons and services. It can be used to manage the data centralized in a virtual environment. Not just this, the customizable aspect of cloud computing allows vendors and providers to offer services that are in trend or are new by adjusting it according to the users, making it unique in every possible way. Sharing of information and data over the cloud brings easy access and consumes less time and effort. It reaches out to grant its users effective and efficient communication which is secured and also offers stability. The speed is one thing but sharing and getting the solutions in a matter of minutes makes it much better for sharing and communicating. Pros and Cons of Cloud Computing PROS: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● High availability with respect to the internet. You can be connected anytime you want to the cloud services as it depends on the internet network you use. Data Backup is very easily available with the help of the Cloud as it takes no personal space anywhere in your system or phone. It requires very low maintenance as it is designed for gaining such advantages. One tremendous thing to notice here is that there is no need to save the document or data after each update, the moment you update something it gets automatically updated and gets saved too. Reliability is complete in your hands and the speed depends on the internet network you use. Provides quick, instant, and Real-time Service Miniaturization Provides great computing flexibility with its easy accessibility CONS: ● With the increasing technology and digitization, there is a certain increase in cybercrime too which highly demands cybersecurity for every business. ● As cloud computing services are completely accessible and based on the internet network, it is hardly suitable when it comes to mobile or remote areas. ● Dependent on third-party too. ● Migration Problems are always there ● Security and Privacy are quite a concern. ● Requires high bandwidth ● Completely internet-dependent Evolution of Computing Cloud computing promises cheap storage, low computing cost, data input from different sources, and an enhanced data analytics method. There is a state of data explosion in the market with everything based on data and being data-driven that every business is moving towards and even has data-driven services already adopted. From social media platforms, smart homes, smart offices, smart wearables, digitization in healthcare, uber and online cabs, AI, and ML in oil and gas, to the technology-based application, everything is data-driven. More like better data storage and analysis is available now and not just cloud computing, but, it would be deemed as ignorant if we are to say that cloud computing has no role in all this. This is the evolution of cloud computing and how data is being used, managed, and enhanced into multiple assets in businesses with better analytics and applications at hand. Why we need Multi-cloud computing Multi-cloud can be defined differently by different users and providers as it is based on their perception of the term. However, multi-cloud as per the users means accessing data from multiple cloud addresses of public type cloud computing whereas others define it as using multiple clouds for different work purposes or uses, such as different private type clouds. Why do we need multi-cloud has a very simple answer to it. As everything is accelerating with time and age, the demand for every ability to get better is also increasing. Such as the increasing population demands an increase in the number of food products which can be easily achieved by using food robotics or precision agriculture. Similarly, the demand to run better operations with a high success rate requires not just cloud but multi-cloud computing. Multi-cloud strategies are basically required for its ability to● Increase flexibility through the possibility of multiple choices ● Increase agility ● Take advantage of the full potential use of best services provided ● Minimize the vendor-in ● Enhance cost estimation ● And efficiency Moreover, as per Flexera, 93% of enterprises have a multi-cloud strategy. Cloud Computing Market Size Cloud computing is one such technology that is going nowhere ever in the future but its transformation could be possible into a much-enhanced platform or service such as multi-cloud computing. Technology is one thing that is being vastly and widely used by people and organizations in the wake of COVID-19. With people working from home almost till Dec 2020, everyone is using cloud services and platform handle and work better with data. A number of organizations have adopted work from home models and software to track and maintain employees’ efficiency and work which has consequently increased the demand for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based collaboration solutions. Moreover, as per a report by markets and markets, Microsoft Team platform users increased to 44 million globally due to the high demand for collaboration solutions. While the standalone 8x8 Video Meetings cloud solution experienced a more than 300% increase in registered users in the last week of February across 150 countries. Not just this, when it comes to entertainment and using platforms based on data and cloud computing, there is a definite increase in the demand for streaming platforms, such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Disney+, Twitch, YouTube, and Apple TV, as most of the population is staying at home due to country lockdowns. This in consequence to cloud computing has increased the demand for IaaS to handle consumer demands. The increasing adoption of digital transformation by companies is simply accelerating the demand for cloud computing services with consumer services demand soaring along with it. Also, the cloud offers the benefit of the pay-as-you-go model that offers enterprises to pay as per their usage of cloud services, which ultimatley helps in reducing costs. Nonetheless, the global cloud computing market size is expected to grow from USD 371.4 billion in 2020 to USD 832.1 billion by 2025, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 17.5% during the forecast period.
