Knowledge is key whether you\u2019re new to cloud computing, considering a migration, or you\u2019ve been operating in the cloud for years. With a firm understanding of the cloud, you\u2019ll be able to leverage it to make smart decisions.\u00a0First and foremost, the world of cloud computing is never static. There are constant updates, new developments, and headlines surfacing daily. There are three big players in cloud services:<\/p>\r\n
Below, we\u2019ll take a look at each provider. We\u2019ll also dig into some of the latest trending topics and where these cloud players are headed for the rest of 2019.<\/p>\r\n
Amazon Web Services<\/a>\u00a0(AWS) combines Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) to create scalable cloud solutions for businesses worldwide. Founded in 2006, AWS boasts a history as a prominent player in the cloud computing space. AWS is available for use by small businesses to global enterprises. It offers 165 services that combine as a robust application that eliminates delays caused by storage or network issues. Moreover, the AWS model ensures that businesses can select individual services based on their needs. Pay as you go option also makes it a scalable solution with agility and cost savings at the forefront of other attractive features. As AWS moves into the future, there are several key developments underway, and one example is:<\/p>\r\n Data lakes are centralized storage areas where businesses can store all of their data, without the need to first structure the data before storage. From the data lake, businesses can run a great variety of analytics in real-time, such as visualizations or dashboards, as well as using machine learning to bolster their digital strategies.<\/p>\r\n Why do data lakes matter to your business? A recent study showed that businesses that use data lakes are outperforming competitors who don\u2019t use data lakes by\u00a09 percent in organic revenue growth<\/a>. Using data lakes allows businesses to stay on their toes and act quickly. This type of agility, thanks to machine learning, allows these businesses to rapidly identify business opportunities and adopt new strategies for business growth.<\/p>\r\n Google Cloud Platform<\/a>\u00a0is available to customers on a pay-as-you-go basis, allowing businesses to customize the service components they need. As a public cloud, Google Cloud Platform allows businesses to enhance their reach to a wider customer base and penetrate global markets through the applications you build.<\/p>\r\n One of the hottest areas that Google Cloud Platform is leading is the\u00a0Internet of Things<\/a>. IoT technology is difficult to define as one set solution but is transforming the tech industry in exciting ways. The technology brings devices like refrigerators, cars, lights, heating systems, and other systems into the tech realm through serverless cloud services.<\/p>\r\n IoT connectivity brings these devices into the tech landscape and integrates their use and data to build better products and solutions for homes and businesses. Depending on the nature of your business, IoT technology may be an exciting area of exploration and a Google Cloud Platform solution to add to your existing suite of services.<\/p>\r\n Launched in 2010,\u00a0Microsoft Azure<\/a>\u00a0offers a collection of cloud computing services for businesses. This range of solutions includes managed MS and open technologies like Linux. With Microsoft Azure, businesses can enjoy a pay-per-use model that allows them to scale their capacity on demand. Azure\u2019s cloud computing services are designed for businesses to test, create, and manage new applications through Microsoft\u2019s cloud-based data centers. Azure remains a popular choice for businesses that are migrating their data from an on-premises model to the cloud.<\/p>\r\n AI and machine learning are hot conversation topics in business. AI has moved from the tech world into much everyday business and personal computing functions and this type of technology is rapidly expanding. Machine learning mimics human intelligence and makes predictions through data.\u00a0July 2019 saw Microsoft contribute\u00a0$1 billion to OpenAI<\/a>\u00a0to support the development of AI technology. Businesses across every sector can use AI, from streamlining operations to improving your customer experience, and more. Ultimately, it helps you expedite mundane tasks to focus more time on bigger projects.<\/p>\r\n The possibilities for leveraging data to your organization\u2019s competitive advantage are endless. Cloud computing trends demonstrate how technology is constantly evolving. It is constantly improving the ways we do business from increased agility, enhanced security, and better disaster recovery planning.
