Cloud hosting set to surpass in-house IT by 2015
The popularity of cloud hosting is increasing as IaaS clouds become more relevant to growing IT demands.
IaaS cloud’s impact on the enterprise
Many companies today require high-power computing, but lack the expertise or an in-house staff that can develop and manage solutions. For this reason, many businesses have turned to infrastructure-as-a-service clouds to meet cumbersome IT demands.
Cloud hype is justified when looking at its benefits
Nowadays, it’s hard to not hear about the cloud. The technology has immersed itself among businesses, individual consumers and government IT initiatives.
Improving IT through IaaS cloud solutions
While cloud computing has greatly benefited businesses in terms of cost-savings and increased efficiency, it has also given CIOs a larger role within organizations and provides IT professionals with one of the most valuable job skills.
Private clouds overshadow public platforms
The rate of private cloud adoption has been gaining momentum as many users prefer to settle for more secure and flexible solutions offered by cloud service providers.
Adoption of the private cloud driving revenue
The cloud has grown rapidly over the past few years, with more companies then ever deploying cloud models. Still there is the lingering question of whether the private or public enterprise cloud will be the dominant deployment.
High-tech workers pushing enterprise cloud adoption
Tech-savvy employees are often ahead of the technology curve compared with their employers. Equipped with everything from mobile devices to their own personal clouds, these productive workers are helping to push businesses toward cloud adoption.
Government IT turns to cloud service providers
While government IT hasn’t received the positive attention it was hoping for over the past month due to the troubled launch of HealthCare.gov, that hasn’t put a damper on continued IT investments in both private and public cloud computing.
Need for cloud service providers grows as skills gap widens
As the cloud-related skills gap widens, cloud service providers will play a larger role in providing effective solutions.
What Amazon Web Services got wrong about private clouds
Amazon maintains a great deal of pride in its public cloud platform, Amazon Web Services. The company stated earlier this year that AWS has unique benefits over private clouds including lower costs, rapid deployment and pay-as-you-go-models. However, each of these advantages also pertain to private platforms as well.
