Cloud Computing: Sky High Expectations

A flood of new ‘smart’ devices, increased penetration of cellular networks, and increase in internet bandwidth capacities has given rise to ‘big data’ – which is what the industry calls data sets that grow so large that they are difficult to handle with commonly-used hardware and software tools. As increasingly greater volumes of information get digitized, handling the data that is being generated has become problematic in terms of storage, maintenance and recoverability.

‘Big data’, ‘cloud computing’ and ‘virtualization’ are the latest trends in the tech industry, which are changing the dynamics of how organizations and individuals will handle data solutions in the future.

Cloud computing is a model for delivering tech services, in which online resources are retrieved through web-based tools and applications, rather than a direct connection to a server. Cloud computing allows users access to information as long as they have access to the web. By using the cloud, users are able to minimize the cost of maintaining their own hardware and software, since these are provided by the cloud service provider through its own centralized systems.

How Cloud Computing Works

Let's say you're an executive at a large corporation. Your particular responsibilities include making sure that all of your employees have the right hardware and software they need to do their jobs. Buying computers for everyone isn't enough -- you also have to purchase software or software licenses to give employees the tools they require. Whenever you have a new hire, you have to buy more software or make sure your current software license allows another user. It's so stressful that you find it difficult to go to sleep on your huge pile of money every night.

Soon, there may be an alternative for executives like you. Instead of installing a suite of software for each computer, you'd only have to load one application. Read more

What cloud computing really means

Cloud computing is all the rage. "It's become the phrase du jour," says Gartner senior analyst Ben Pring, echoing many of his peers. The problem is that (as with Web 2.0) everyone seems to have a different definition.

As a metaphor for the Internet, "the cloud" is a familiar cliché, but when combined with "computing," the meaning gets bigger and fuzzier. Some analysts and vendors define cloud computing narrowly as an updated version of utility computing: basically virtual servers available over the Internet. Others go very broad, arguing anything you consume outside the firewall is "in the cloud," including conventional outsourcing.

Cloud computing comes into focus only when you think about what IT always needs: a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. Read more.

SDN Market To Surge As Cloud Computing Grows, Research Firm Says

The software-defined networking (SDN) market will grow sixfold during the next five years, fueled by cloud computing, according to the Dell’Oro Group.

According to the firm's Data Center Disruptors Advanced Research Report, the majority of this market will be composed of Ethernet switches and network security appliances, which are projected to represent 75% of total sales revenue in 2013.

"The data center portion of the Ethernet Switch market that sells into enterprises is plateauing," Alan Weckel, vice president at Dell’Oro Group, said in an email interview. "But the surge [in] cloud deployments is causing the overall data center portion of the Ethernet switch market to grow. It is likely that SDNs biggest impact over the next several years will occur in the cloud -- both public and private -- and not in traditional enterprise data centers." Read more.
