On-demand computing services are a real global trend overtaking the business world as we speak. Delivering these services is becoming invaluable to enterprises that have gradually grown accustomed to relying on applications and platforms from the cloud. Cloud computing services are in fact becoming a big industry, which is expected to grow exponentially in the next two years.

Now that companies have realized fully the potential of cloud services for enhancing their processes, there are a lot more advancements, close competitors in the cloud marketplace, and more cost-effective options for businesses to choose from. Cloud computing solutions like DaaS, SaaS, and PaaS are giving businesses better scalability, which also boosts the true value of cloud services, immediately making them more commonplace. But what trends do we begin to see in the cloud computing space as a whole since earlier in the year?

Three Cloud Computing Trends

 

1. Hybrid cloud is the market leader in cloud computing

 

In previous blog posts, we have discussed the differences between cloud solutions based on the type of cloud infrastructure used for managing workloads. What we see today is something growing into a real trend in the cloud computing space – it is the adoption of hybrid clouds. In order to meet their individual needs, businesses prefer to choose a more flexible approach and make use of the latest advancements in the cloud computing space. Companies are also being smarter with planning their needs and understanding their targets in the IT side of the businesses, which makes hybrid cloud solutions a more multi-lateral business approach overall.

2. Third-party cloud providers

 

The role of third-party companies that specialize in cloud computing is to reduce the costs for other businesses when spending on their own infrastructure and operating needs. Cloud vendors are the partners to enterprises that give them valuable insights and real solutions for managing their IT infrastructure externally while keeping the spending to a minimum. Another great benefit of choosing a third-party cloud vendor is the expertise you receive with hiring the company for their cloud services offering. Recognized cloud computing companies are providing comprehensive services, cloud consulting, and support to clients that need good guidance.

 

3. Cloud computing – ‘As a service’

 

One of the easiest gateways for companies to the cloud is through the ‘as a service’ model hosed by cloud providers like we-IT. This is an incredibly flexible and scalable model that comes in a comprehensive solution offering- as a cloud service. There are plenty of different cloud-hosted services on the marketplace like Platform as a Service (PaaS), Desktop as a Service (DaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), Disaster Relief as a Service (DRaaS), and so on. All of these were built to help small and mid-sized businesses operate faster and more efficiently by using managed services for a given subscription cost. Because of the pandemic, we saw a big rise in the number of managed services providers and the types of applications offered along with them. We are surely going to continue businesses adjusting to remote working mode and cloud-based services, as we will also witness a lot more applications, created by means of cloud computing to serve customers all over the world.

Final words

 

We are seeing cloud computing services transforming the business world by the day. Because of the fast advancement and the high availability of many services like hybrid cloud and managed cloud services, we will continue to witness the surge in the use of these services by businesses of all sizes and operational capabilities in the near future.
