Key takeaways
- More than 80% of the enterprises are expected to shift to the cloud platform by 2020.
- Cloud technology allows various people in an company to access files and data in real-time, which eventually results in increased efficiency, improved agility, cost savings, and opportunities to innovate and grow.
- The business entities ranging from small start-ups to multi-national companies are adopting cloud technology for their daily workloads and data sharing.
More than 80% of the enterprises are expected to shift to the cloud platform by 2020. Cloud technology allows various people in an company to access files and data in real-time, which eventually results in increased efficiency, improved agility, cost savings, and opportunities to innovate and grow. The business entities ranging from small start-ups to multi-national companies are adopting cloud technology for their daily workloads and data sharing. Being one of the powerful technology, cloud computing and technology are innovating and emerging at a high pace. Let’s look at what it will hold in this new decade.
Serverless computing has ascent quite a popularity with an extensive improvement. The advantage of serverless is that it enables a developer to focus on their core product rather than managing and operating servers on cloud or on-premises. These programs are flexible and would enable company to manage their expenses of cloud hosting. It’s predicted that by 2020 more than 20% of global enterprises would adopt serverless computing.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) would stay the focus for companies across industries in 2020. The innovations in AI are giving companies the chance to automate their processes and manage big data in the most efficient way possible. AI algorithms allow companies to handle both structured and unstructured data with great accuracy and speed. AI and ML are driving a lot of investments from various sectors of industries. According to a recent survey, 67% of the IT professionals believe that AI/ML will be a primary catalyst for cloud adoption in 2020.
Companies are storing consumer data, involving confidential and personal details. The breach in the system seen in 2019 made cloud security one of the primary focus for this year. Data privacy, leakage, loss, and security are the growing concern as more and more companies are now using cloud system for their data.
Apart from these, there is Edge Computing, Quantum Computing, Omni-Cloud, and Kubernetes, among others, to look forward this year.
Words this piece uses #
The draft already used these words. The lines below only say what they mean. They are not new findings.
Machine learning is software that gets better at a task by finding patterns in examples, instead of only following rules a person wrote.
In this kind of writing, artificial intelligence means software that does a task people used to judge by hand. The useful question is which task, and what happens when it is wrong.
Kubernetes is a free tool that runs many small programs across a group of computers. It restarts a piece that fails and gives you one place to look.
Cloud computing means renting computers, storage, or software that someone else runs, and reaching it over a network.
