Cloud Computing 2015: Expect Strong Performances from REST, Docker and Hybrid Cloud
What can we expect will happen with cloud computing in 2015?
Forrester has announced their predictions for the 2015 cloud which include:
Microsoft cloud revenues will trump Microsoft on-premise revenues – Microsoft Azure is seeing gangbuster growth. While Microsoft cloud revenues today only account for about 5 percent of of the company’s total revenues, Forrester expects that in 2015 the cloud profit margin percentage for Microsoft will best what Microsoft is able to capture from the rest of their business.
RESTful interfaces will rule – This may not be much of a prediction since REST services seems a given nowadays for most apps, although it is less clear how many companies are using them. James Staten, Forrester analyst notes that, “if you want your back-office applications to be part of this move forward, relying on traditional integration methods such as enterprise service buses, JDBC connections and SOAP is inadequate for modern applications. You’ll have to evolve your integration architecture to REST in 2015.”
Other Forrester 2015 cloud predictions listed by ZDNet include:
Cloud Breaches will continue – Governance failures, poor key management and lax security will continue to leave many cloud applications vulnerable. This prediction seems likely.
Docker containers will see wide acceptance – With support from EBay, Amazon, Google, Microsoft and other companies, this prediction doesn’t seem too risky.
SaaS vendors to provide more Hybrid – Increasingly SaaS providers will offer ways to connect on-premise and cloud applications and data.
Cloud Storage pricing will claim lives – The cloud storage pricing wars among Google, Amazon and Microsoft is expected to make this market sector a difficult one to compete in. Backup and disaster recovery services are especially expected to be hit hard.
