The future of the Cloud and the Cloud of the future: what are the trends of the coming years
More than 10 years have passed since the Cloud Evangelist and founder of VMEngine Fabio Cecaro instructed the employees of the marketing department of the company that had its headquarters on the outskirts of Naples. “The Cloud is not the future, the Cloud is the present,” he said. He was right.
However, today there are many who wonder what will happen in the coming years. What will be the trends and technologies that will be the most popular, that will be safer and more convenient?
What does the future hold?
Among the main technological trends that Gartner, the US multinational that deals with strategic consulting, research and analysis in the field of information technology, invites us not to lose sight of is undoubtedly the distributed Cloud. And again according to
Gartner
, by 2025 many of the Cloud platforms will be able to provide at least some distributed Cloud services directly at the edge , i.e. a distributed computing model in which data processing takes place as close as possible to where the data is requested.
However, the challenges that the Cloud will have to face in the future are not many and compelling. Very interesting are, for example, the results of a report carried out by
KPMG France
, commissioned by InfraNum, Talan and Linkt, in which the tests that the Cloud will have to face in the near future of the Old Continent are analyzed in great depth.
According to analysts, the cloud computing market in Europe grew by 27% annually between 2017 and 2019, reaching €53 billion in 2020. The strong growth trend will continue over the next decade, with an expected value of between 300 and 500 billion euros by 2027-2030.
Among the various hypotheses that are envisaged is that of the growth of European providers, mainly driven by emerging market needs that are still underestimated such as edge computing, artificial intelligence for industrial data and public spending.
Then there would also be the hypothesis of a new important regulatory phase, similar to the one observed in the telecommunications market, with the emergence of a Cloud regulatory body that binds providers.
