What is the future of cloud computing? Will cloud computing lead to a reduction in IT expenditure?

Most of the organizations IT are being moved to the cloud. After all, it means a wholesale change in the sourcing and delivery of IT products and services. This leads to: Co-location services are on the rise Cloud cost containment Enterprise apps come to public cloud Hyperconverge your private cloud Not all applications will reduce expenses. In fact, up to 40% of enterprise applications actually cost more in the cloud than they would on premises.

Almost everything in the digital world is connected to the cloud in some way or another unless its specifically kept in local storage for security reasons. As tech giants and startups find new ways to organize, process and present data cloud computing will become a more and more integral part of our lives. The future of cloud computing will most likely represent a combination of cloud based software products and on premises compute to create a hybrid IT solution that balances the scalability and flexibility associated with cloud and the security and control of a private data center. It will help in reducing IT expenditure - 1. No Upfront Investments 2. Fully Hardware Utilization Cloud computing results in economies of scale. It ensures fully utilization of hardware resources depending upon the business workloads. 3. Low Power Costs Cloud consumes less power and is more efficient than having an in-house IT set up. 4. Better hardware utilization results in more efficient use of power. 5. Reduced Workforce With cloud, you no longer have to worry about recruiting expensive human resources for your computing needs.

The main reason that the future of cloud computing will be as powerful and expensive, as it portends to be is that cloud technology is extremely beneficial. For one thing, the extreme agility and accessibility of a cloud is far superior to the use of current technology. No matter where in the world someone happens to be, or what device they are using, they can access their cloud and continue to do their work or share their information. For the reliability, a cloud offers, the security it provides, and the performance it boasts of, the cost of a cloud makes it an incredible option for individuals and corporations alike. It requires low-power processors, which will stimulate the reduction in prices for services of cloud providers. Modular software will be a priority - The complexity and size of individual programs are growing by leaps and bounds. As a result, cloud technologies will require new system thinking, and software development will have to be thought over from different angles. Cost-Reduction - Well, it helps reduce costs, both capital and operating, through economies of scale. To use an analogy, it is like replacing the electricity generator in your home by plugging into electricity supply. When a vendor supports a hundred customers with his bank of servers and support staff, the cost to each individual customer goes down.

Hi, Cloud Computing- Yes, this is the future and in next five years, we all will see such transformation from on-prem to cloud without any doubt. Another yes from me with respect to answering your 2nd question. Definitely moving on to the cloud, any organization can curtail significant CAPEX cost. E.g. if you require installing a server on the premise then you need to spend more or at least Rs. 2-3L for a good server. Now, to manage this server you need a system admin and require to bear salary. Think, your business is expanding and more servers are needed then more system members. Apart from human resources cooling, space, power everything must be considered. In contrast, if you would migrate your infrastructure to the cloud, it's a clear picture how much you can save by only paying monthly subscription charges and much better availability.
