There is no denying that people have been
adopting cloud on a global level as all enterprises have been gaining the
awareness of its benefits including its scalability, speed, and future
experimentation. McAfee had released a report stating that people adopting for
cloud has shown three times the growth in the year 2017.
Major organizations have also claimed that
their IT solutions are set to turn cloud-based within the upcoming 15 months.
Ian Massingham, who has been working with Amazon Web Services for a decade has
been speaking on the evolvement of cloud computing in today’s time.
Enterprises
are said to be much comfortable with cloud
Massingham has explained about the change
that adoption of cloud services has brought to the enterprise and the comfort
levels that such organizations are experiencing with the deployment of cloud
technology.
Massingham says that when he first joined
AWS, it mainly consisted of course users who were classified as enterprise
users, but cloud usage wasn’t done entirely. AWS had very few customers engaged
in cloud services as most of them were beginning to make the change from the IT
sector to AWS.
He further added, saying that the past five
years has seen AWS customers begin the process of migrating towards the cloud,
including companies Capital One and News Corp. He has seen companies on a large
scale show their trust in cloud computing, which has made it an attractive
option for other enterprises to adopt.
AWS and Massingham have seen the enterprises
first begin using cloud mainly for development of products to enterprises now
using it for core applications including all services related to the IT sector.
Myriad
benefits:
Massingham says that people have been warming
up to the cloud because of its effective benefits. These benefits have brought
greater freedom for all enterprises with respect to reducing the reliance on
physical infrastructure bringing financial flexibility within.
Trading on the data centers and IT sector’s
capital cost for elastic variable cost, it will be able to scale the usage of
the applications and its services so that wastage has been avoided, claims
Massingham. Due to the malleability that cloud shows, there will not be any issue
towards capacity planning whenever experiments are done towards validation of
quick app development.
AWS cloud service users will also receive a
major boost due to international deployment and compliance. For example, being
a customer of AWS and having customers in the southeastern regions of Asia and
if they want to be served locally in Singapore, there are a few regions where a
copy of the application can be made within a few minutes.
The business will then be in a position to
entirely bring focus and their effort on those things that customers really
find valuable, especially in areas where customer service and knowledge will be
a key business differential.
Change
in security
Massingham has emphasized towards security
and the cloud stating that it will always be AWS’ first priority. But, he has
also noticed every top-level executive have all been engaged in security
conversations compared to the past two years.
For the people who are still hesitating to
migrate a part or their entire services to the cloud provider, Massingham
provides the evidence through the benefits that Capital One and News Corp have
been getting since adapting to a cloud provider, thus looking to eliminate the
reluctance that people are showing towards adopting newer technologies.
Even though some companies lack the staff
having the necessary IT skills or do not possess the necessary training for
managing cloud-based services, they could be concerned about the benefits of
adapting to a cloud provider. But, Massingham states that the key is to go
ahead and ask the experts and don’t fear the cloud.
