The concept
of Cloud Hosting was established in
the year 1996 and was brought into existence in the year 2006 by Amazon. The technology experts predicted that Cloud
Hosting would revolutionise all the industries starting from huge gaming industries
to small enterprises. Also, the statistics say that it will bring the digital
cities into life thus ensuring the availability of digital infrastructures like
smart elevators, automated parking lots, driverless vehicles and AI managed
farms and power plants. The internet
survey says, by 2020 most of the enterprises and people will recognise the
importance of Cloud
Hosting
and will start effectively using it for accessing the information and
applications online. It was poised to bring in the significant transformation
in the IT sector by enabling online sharing of computer system resources and
high-level services over the internet. The cloud capabilities have improved
storing, managing and processing of data over the internet.
A survey
predicted that more than 50% of the global enterprises would rely on the clouds
by 2020 to contribute their share in the digital transformation of the
industries. Also, 6 billion of the world
population will enjoy the luxury of digital cities and will live by 2045. There
is an enormous possibility of Cloud Hosting dominating the market in the next
decade. Also, SaaS (Software as a Service) will lead to progressive
transformations in the era of Cloud Hosting also, sharing half of its market revenue.
Social networking sites are the best examples of SaaS as a Cloud Service used
today. Facebook is one of the popular Cloud application where more than 500
million people share and store their data. In 2006 Facebook made a drastic
shift from heavy load servers to distributed cloud architecture due to its
improved capabilities. Similarly, blogging services like Twitter and WordPress
have also started taking advantage of Cloud
Computing. Small mid-sized businesses have even started shifting to Cloud
usage thus, joining hands with the digital era.
Here are a few lessons how Cloud Hosting will be
the foundation of the digital age:
• Cloud
Hosting: Stepping Stone of the Internet
The birth of
the internet in the year 1990, took the industry by storm and lead to the dawn
of a new era. Cloud Hosting revolutionised internet technology with hardware
virtualisation and Service-oriented architecture. Since 1994, the increased capabilities of
Clouds have encouraged the small and large scale companies to end spending on
the storage of internal digital data. Over the last 20 years, Cloud has become
the vital and significant component of the Internet Infrastructure. The data
transfer over the internet has become an easy and quick task with Cloud
architecture. Every Single person on this earth who uses the internet is taking
advantage of the cloud. The next decade will find Cloud computing becoming an integral part of every business entity
thus ensuring custom infrastructure with complete data security to flourish in
the market. Cloud facility is enjoyed
even by the desk workers who make use of the internet on their computers.
• Artificial
Intelligence
Cloud
hosting has given wings to Artificial
Intelligence
by enabling them to adapt to the upcoming platforms including smartphones. The industries claim that cloud technology will play a vital role
in their AI projects. Flexibility is one of the major reason behind the success
of Ai enabled Cloud Computing. The fusion of Artificial Intelligence and
Cloud has transformed the world of Information Technology positively and hence,
is believed to be the future of the corporate world. A survey says, both Artificial Intelligence
and Cloud Hosting together will be
the core pillars for digital innovation.
Enterprises
using a fusion of AI with Cloud are
capable of driving the digital innovations using the resources they
possess. Cloud environments store vast
volumes of data, and AI feeds on it. More and more access to data enables the
AI to behave smarter than humans.
• Information
Technology Infrastructure:
Cloud Computing has proved to be a boon to the IT
industry. The reason for the significant shift of IT sector from hardware
services to Cloud services is
virtualised It systems to access the software applications on the
internet. Now a day, most of the
software applications are moved to on Public or Private clouds instead of
storing it on the hardware thus, reducing the cost. Since managing data is one
of the most significant aspects of IT industry they have started moving towards
the cloud technology as it minimises
the efforts required to handle and process the data as it becomes the vendor’s
responsibility.
The shift of
IT industries shows that they believe to focus on the areas they are best at
instead of just spending on the IT processes.
• Online
Streaming:
Initially,
movies and songs had to be consumed at theatres. Later, movies could be
downloaded once; the user pays for it. But, Cloud technology changed the media
industry in such a way that the movies, songs or web series can be consumed
online. Netflix, Amazon, Gaana.com, etc. are the best examples of online
streaming applications leveraging cloud technology effectively. These applications
enable offline availability of data which means, videos and songs can be viewed
even without the internet connectivity. The songs and videos can be consumed
from anywhere and at any time wit in the application. In other words, once the
user logins to his account he can consume the data from any corner of the
world.
This
positive transformation has led the media Industry to contribute to the digital
era.
