If your company regularly develops digital apps, there’s a good chance your development strategy is going to shift, or may already have shifted, to a “cloud-native” mindset.
In case you’re not familiar with the term, let’s go over its advantages and take a look at why it might become essential for developers in the very near future.
If you’ve been visiting the doctor regularly, good for you! Some parts of the digital-first healthcare experience will already be familiar to you. But for those of us who might’ve let a few years go by without a routine checkup, some of technology’s impact on health care might take you by surprise.
Cloud technology has been especially consequential and helpful when it comes to providing health services and observing the related administrative requirements. Let’s take a quick look at why and how.
The progress of technology has forced many businesses to improve just so they can keep up. Robots and automation are driving some of this pace, but there are far more sophisticated options only the Internet and similar technology can provide.
Businesses are moving their entire structures to the cloud to become more high-tech and speed up their manufacturing. Becoming a cloud-native company is not an immediate or easy task, but the long-term rewards are worth the price.
Many consumers already do most of their business online anyway. Becoming cloud-native shouldn’t be a company’s first step into online business, but rather the goal.
Cloud computing and remote technologies are enabling so many opportunities in regards to data storage, processing, and analytics, the list is seemingly endless. These technologies have also enabled the rise of bigger, more robust data collection policies and procedures.
In 2008, Google was processing 20,000 terabytes of data per day. That number has grown. Furthermore, over 2.7 Zettabytes of data exists in the digital universe today. These stats are positively insane, but they are nothing more than a drop in the hat compared to what will be in ten years’ time.
Data is being created at alarming rates, and we need better, faster tools to make sense of it all. That’s exactly where machine learning and AI platforms come into play.
The Internet of Things is expected to grow rapidly in the next year. In fact, predictions by Gartner say there will be 20.8 connected devices and used worldwide by 2020. From manufacturers to marketing professionals, everyone is jumping on board the IoT trend.
This growth has lead to a challenge with getting data processed from so many connected devices. To overcome that challenge, we have seen the growth of cloud computing and most recently the introduction of edge computing.
Hybrid cloud computing utilizes a mixture of an on-premises private cloud environment and third-party public cloud services, with workloads moving between the private and public clouds, adjusting based on changes in computing needs and cost fluctuations. Generally, the hybrid cloud provides businesses with increased data deployment options and superior flexibility to alternatives. The cloud computing environment offers a variety of benefits for many industries.
There are several reasons why hybrid cloud computing could be the next big move for the cloud.
Everything is in the cloud these days, and it’s common for businesses to take advantage of multiple cloud-based services. Not all of these services function in the same way though.
When you hear the term “cloud” used in reference to a business application, it is typically concerning cloud computing or cloud storage. These are not the same thing. Cloud storage is a specific type of cloud-based service, but cloud computing is a more generic term.
Many businesses can benefit from cloud storage and other cloud computing services; here are the key differences between them.
