Cloud Computing and Artificial Intelligence, a perfect combination (word from Gartner)
It is a multinational joint-stock company that engages in strategic consulting, research and analysis in the field of information technology with over 15,000 clients worldwide. It’s Gartner.
Here, according to Gartner’s latest “forecast“, worldwide end-user spending on Cloud Computing services is expected to grow by 20.4% in 2022 for a totalof $494.7 billion, compared to $410.9 billion in 2021. In short, almost half a billion in Cloud services and this can only mean one thing: growth. In fact, it is no coincidence that according to Gartner “in 2023, end-user spending is expected to reach almost $600 billion”.
In short, impressive numbers especially if you look at the progression: the figure is the result of a 20% year-on-year growth compared to 2021. And there’s an explanation, too: The new reality of hybrid work is pushing organizations away from deploying traditional client computing solutions, such as desktops and other physical tools in the office, to their workforce.
The Cloud is increasingly an essential business model for companies and above all functional. Steve Jobs, simplifying in a very effective way, to explain what the “cloud” was, defined it as “someone else’s computer“. And the contemporary genius was not wrong at all, the Cloud is no longer an appendage of the company but is increasingly integrated into it. But it is somewhere else and does not “weigh” in any way.
Also according to Gartner, the highest growth of any Cloud category in 2022 will be that of Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), i.e. the type of Cloud Computing service that offers essential computing, storage and network resources on demand and on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Among the many benefits , migrating infrastructure to an IaaS solution helps reduce on-premises data center maintenance, save money on hardware costs , and retrieve real-time business insights. Immediately after Infrastructure-as-a-service is Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) whose increase in use will be 26.1% which is used to create, test, deploy and update enterprise software applications, including sophisticated artificial intelligence, business intelligence and Internet of Things capabilities.
And we will tell you more, the fusion of Artificial Intelligence and Cloud Computing will certainly be a means to accelerate business changes. In short, Artificial Intelligence can make the Cloud even more efficient and the Cloud can help companies accelerate Artificial Intelligence paths and projects. It is, therefore, a symbiotic relationship that can only enhance the use of an increasingly consolidated business model .
