Cloud Computing Trends & Future Technology 2021 | Datamation - 1 views

  • Enterprise leaders are quickly recognizing that not all clouds work for all of their needs, and some of their legacy systems and applications work better on their existing on-premises infrastructure. These realizations, and a growing need for both flexibility and reliable security, have ushered in a period of growth for hybrid and multicloud setups. 
  • which polled more than 2,600 global IT decision-makers globally – and highlighted that hybrid cloud is now the most common choice, with 46% of respondents now using a hybrid cloud (a 12% increase since their previous survey).
  • Instead of relying on embedded, native security features, tech experts are advocating for the increased use of managed security service providers (MSSPs) and a better organizational policy for user access management. Organizations are recognizing that security incidents can come from both internal accidents and external actors, so it’s important that all users are trained and compliant with an organization’s security policies.

  • By implementing the ZTNA model for secure network access, IT teams can have full control over who is granted access, enters, and leaves the network at all times. This model has gained much more recognition since being mandated in President Biden’s executive order.”
  • The entire world is starting to shift its attention to Kubernetes and the orchestration of containers,” Cusimano said. “It’s the next iterative shift — we went from physical to virtual to cloud, and now we’re going to microservices and containers. 
  • Although few cloud vendors have adopted the circular model, most are changing their business models to emphasize more renewable energy use, carbon offsets, and data center efficiency boosts.
  • cloud is typically more energy efficient than on-premises infrastructure, the growth of AI and the Internet of Things (IoT) is causing cloud technology to work harder than ever.
  • “Sustainability is a massive trend in IT – from enterprises seeking to ensure cloud providers leverage renewable energy in data centers to enterprises increasingly seeking to minimize their own supply carbon footprint via sustainably sourced, circular IT solutions,” Fenn said.
  • “Cloud-native technologies will also lead and help companies to build, migrate, and modernize customer-facing and analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) apps more easily and at scale.”

      This article discussed the five major trends and developments in cloud computing. The first point explains how there was a big trend towards cloud-only computing and away from on-premise infrastructure. We are realizing this isn't always the the best scenario and that a hybrid model allows for an enterprise to operate data-intensive processes while taking advantage of tech advancements associated with cloud computing. The second trend is utilizing "managed security service providers (MSSPs). This is because security is important to control both internally and externally. It also mentions "Zero-Trust Network Access" as a new executive order issued by President Biden. The third section discusses Kubernetes (Further research explained this is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.) Kubernetes is also known as "K8s." This is a large shift from physical on-site infrastructure to "containers." This is packaging software for the deployment and the sharing of technology. The reason this is a trend is because it is cost-effective and improves performance. The final major trend is sustainability efforts. Cloud technology is more energy-efficient than on-site infrastructure, but advancements in (IoT) is causing significant growth and use of cloud tech which requires increased energy consumption. Cloud vendors are changing to ensure they are using renewable energy, carbon offsets, and data center efficiency. The most interesting part of this to me is the Kubernetes and Containerization as I have yet to read or hear anything about this. Open source is always interesting. The story behind K8's being developed by Google and now an independent foundation is good for our society and a good trend.

Technology of the Year 2016: The best hardware, software, and cloud services | InfoWorld - 2 views

  •  
    "And the changes keep coming. Among this year's winners, handpicked by InfoWorld editors and product reviewers, you'll find a number of "traditional" names: Cisco, IBM, Microsoft, Red Hat. But you'll also find the names of more open source projects than we've ever seen in the Technology of the Year winner's circle, thanks to the huge role open source has come to play in software development, data center (and cloud) infrastructure, and big data analytics. [ Read about the winning hardware, software, development tools, and cloud services in our slideshow: InfoWorld's 2016 Technology of the Year Award winners. | Get a digest of the day's top tech stories in the InfoWorld Daily newsletter. ] Docker, Kubernetes, Mesos, Spark -- these are only a few of this year's winners from the open source camp. In one way or another, each brings something new to the enterprise. Docker's clever take on Linux containers was so popular with developers, it became a standard even Microsoft sought fit to adopt. Kubernetes brings Google's cloud-tested technology for container management to the rest of us, while Mesos -- the U.C. Berkeley AMPLab project that gave birth to Spark -- offers an elegant solution to cluster resource management. "
