GigaOM, the popular technology blog, has put together a great infographic which gathers some recent research and trends for cloud computing. You can see it below.
The trend is that we, as individuals and companies, are increasingly relying on and using services and products that are “in the cloud” or cloud based. One survey by Pew Research asked, “By the year 2020, will we live in the cloud rather than on the desktop (computer)?”
71% of respondents agreed that by 2020 we will mostly live in the cloud, rather than the desktop.
Another trend that is touched upon is the growth and fast pace of expansion of the digital universe. Basically, the trend is that we as individuals and businesses are creating new data at unprecedented rates. There are many reasons for this (which are different for both individuals and business obviously) but all this new data needs to be stored somewhere. The question is where? Who do you and your business trust to keep that data accessible and safe?
We are here to earn your trust and keep your data safe and sound. We have a lot more thoughts on this topic that we will leave for another future post.
In the meantime, here is the cloud computing trends infographic.
