Cloud Computing: Four Trends for 2014
Werner Vogels, Vice President & Chief Technology Officer at Amazon.com, recently described to the Guardian the top four trends that he sees for Cloud Computing in 2014.
Cloud content will follow you wherever you go. Data in the cloud means that content is device independent and available anywhere, whether from desktops and laptops, smartphones and tablets. “Regardless of which device we use, or the location, we have will access to our content and subscriptions.”
Cloud analytics will increasingly measure and interact with the offline world. Vogels alludes to a world that is slowly realizing the concept of the “Internet of Things”. Machine-generated data, originating from scientific projects like the Mars rover and DNA sequencing are happening, but there’s also closer-to-home data feeds coming from things like transportation vehicles and industrial and home-based sensors which are changing the way we live and perceive our lives.
Everyone will be able to publish to the cloud. “In 2014 expect a great rise in organizations that are adding media capabilities to their offerings… Cloud based services for pre and post production, as well as distribution, are readily available such that anyone can become an internet broadcaster operating worldwide without any capital investment.” Vogels gives just a few examples of the many industries and organizations that have been able to broaden public exposure to their offerings by developing cloud-based content. Vogels mentions performing arts organizations, like the Berlin Philharmonic, and sports clubs, like LiverpoolTV.
Cloud data processing will increasingly reflect real-time information. “We see almost every industry taking advantage of the cloud to radically improve the speed at which they can process their data… There has always been a close relationship between big data and cloud computing as it requires no limits in terms of compute and storage but by adding real-time processing capabilities, we will see a rise in data analytics that are able to produce results in real-time, radically changing the products companies can build.”
