Cloud Trends for IT Services Management in 2018

Have you ever brainstormed over how most of the enterprises manage their data warehouses?

Is it affordable for all enterprises to own an expensive server, appliances and software?

Well, the modern entrepreneurs are smart enough. They know how to gain distinction by spending a little sum. But yes, they desire to generate hefty capital. They want to fly high in the sky of a corporate world. Owning an IT infrastructure, studding it with the desktops, servers, cables, software and networking is a secondary thought for them. Why is it trending?

It’s just because of the cloud computing. Who would like to invest heftily in a pan set up of IT infrastructure in the presence of such an advantageous computing? None would ever like to do so.

Is this concept piquing your curiosity?  Let me introduce you to this term first.   

Cloud computing: 

Do you develop software or an app before using it? You might be finding this question ‘absolutely rubbish’.  But if you look into its bottom line, it would clearly state what the cloud computing is actually. It is a computing that you can access through the internet. This example would clarify it like a crystal.

Let’s say, you want to install 1000s of pictures in your hard drive. Meanwhile, it runs out of space. Who knows, it may crash in the future? So, what would you do?

Google’s Gmail can solve this riddle in a wink. Just log it on and mail to yourself. Later on, you can access them from anywhere and at any time.

Likewise, the cloud-computing functions similarly. You can occupy storage space on the internet, share or download application/software and even, use it desirably. Subsequently, heave a sigh of relief as the managed IT services providers of the cloud would take care of it.      

Shifting trend to Private Cloud:

Some well-off and well-settled organizations prefer to own their own computing resources. But now, it’s not going to be the requirement of just biggies. The SEMs are also looking at this good enough alternative. Its reasons are the cloud & IT support providers. The user has to bear unidentified charges as hidden cost in the bills. After determining that the user’s requirement is fat, they hit by hidden gotchas. Enduring uninformed cost of unexpected line items is unbearable frequently. And it becomes worse when the expected best IT services don’t prove the best. Hacking attempts and deterring performance unleash an additional whip of over-expenditure.     

Moreover, what if the security is at a stake? History is its witness. Time Warner Cable (TWC) is its victim that paid Amazon Web Services (AWS) fat amount for its cloud data security. But, the service provider left around 4 million customers’ record vulnerable. These records consisted of transaction ID, users name, Mac addresses, serial numbers, account numbers, services, category details and more.

To get off such a severe IT security threat, owning a private cloud is the coolest idea. 

Industry-specific cloud:

Today what we see is the nascent face of the cloud. Tomorrow, it’s going to be more exaggerated. It’s an undeniable fact that each industry has its unique requirements. Each one has its distinguished data architecture. Soon, the industry-specific cloud computing will evolve. Thereby, every industry would get data segregation, processing and stockpiling and even, analysis in a tailored way.   

Edge computing & data migration:

Changing host server leads to the need of data migration. The migration process begins with the transmission of data between the computers/server, storage devices in diverse formats. It’s a norm when it comes to upgrading system, data files or software. The vendors shift data to the cloud and then, reinstate properly.

What if the volume of that data is in galore? Transmitting such massive datasets becomes a Herculean task. However, multi-cloud can help you get off of it. But the resources should be overwhelming in that case. Rather than maintaining duplicity in the form of backup files, it’s better to shelf them into the cloud. To make it happen, the expert IT support team should be employed.

Edge computing is an upcoming trend. It’s like accessing peer-to-peer networks as a central data warehouse to pull out. Although a central terminal is snuck for the same, but this computing enables pulling of the data through peripherals. It helps in maintaining the data integrity. And also, the problem of hacking will no more immerse you into the hot water.        

Hybrid cloud:

The hybrid cloud is an ideal blend of private & third party, public and on-premises computing.  It is evolved to boost up the flexibility and best alternative for data stacking. All these clouds share the workload effectively.

The upcoming days will invite Tsunami of the big data from sensors & other electronic devices. The physical environment will merge with the digital to pull that out. In the nutshell, diverse industries will witness the flood of data. For their effective processing in the real-time, an agile, secure and robust IT infrastructure will be a mandate. Therefore, you must be all set to utilize this future trend of cloud computing securely and efficiently.

Except all these, there would be a clean sweep to the traditional style of data stacking. This would also be a trend to watch out as the modern operators tend to shake hands with the artificial intelligence. So, they would prefer the one that would offer them a smooth platform to merge with AI. This is how the potential analysis and business decisions will be intimated to the reality.
