In expounding upon Brandon's previous look at the future of cloud computing....
We as a group agree with the idea that cloud computing services will become more utility-like in the near future. Eventually, we see the industry shaping up like the telecommunications industry with many regional oligopolies throughout the world that teeter on monopolies. Currently there are many small firms catering to various aspects of cloud computing but eventually the larger firms will purchase or replace the need for these smaller firms.
We expect that American IT workers will be greatly affected as all companies integrate cloud systems and are more easily able to outsource the same work to lower wage employment markets.
A key factor to consider in the future of cloud computing is going to be how the debate surrounding net neutrality plays out. For those unfamiliar, net neutrality refers to the concept of all internet traffic being treated equally. This topic is hot-button in the tech and data world because large growth companies that use large quantities of data streaming could be stifled if they were treated differently from any other users. This makes data streaming services an industry to watch. Specifically, services such as Netflix are under heavy fire for the major increase in data usage caused by their streaming service.
Improvements to cellular and wi-fi signals throughout the world will open up more markets for cloud computing. For the cloud to be efficiently integrated throughout an organization or an individual’s life functions, access to high speed internet is essential. As continued improvements are expected in those areas the result will be improvements to cloud computing.
These are all of course general aspects we can expect to occur. Likely, major, unpredictable innovation in the field will create the path for this area of the technology world.
how long you think the speed rates is in Cloud computing in the future and what feature did it have?
ReplyDeleteHow would your group define the difference between FTP and cloud storage?
ReplyDeleteCloud computing and FTP are two separate Entities. Cloud computing is more on how to make used of various elements of a data-center such as servers, networking, storage, and etc. as a single entity where FTP is a protocol. It can run inside or outside of a cloud on a physical/shared server as well as a virtual host.
DeleteWith the improvements opening up markets for cloud computing, how will the industry be prepared to take on the growth in interest in the market?
ReplyDeleteIs cloud computing safe for the users and can you see it being more safe in the future than what it is now?
ReplyDeleteNothing in this world right now is 100% safe. There are people in the world that can hack anything. So knowing this, the answer could be yes or no. But overall, the security of your information is safe. I do think that it will be more safe in the future because as technology advances, so will the security of the technology
DeleteDo you think the Government will play a major role in regulating cloud computing?
ReplyDeleteI think in some form they will. Indirectly. I think they will monitor the information that is being shared because that is what the government does with basically everything these days. But I think they will let the business pretty much have free will over what they can put on their cloud.
Deletedo you think sometime in the near future that cloud computing will come at a cost?
ReplyDeleteIf you mean that cloud computing will come at a physical price, yes. It already costs businesses some start up costs but these costs are minimal compared to how much money the company will be saving in the future.
