For the field of cloud computing, 2019 is a landmark year. Among them, the development momentum of the hybrid multi-cloud field is the fastest.
Many companies are looking for a flexible and efficient way to move workloads to the cloud, while at the same time hoping to reduce costs.
Therefore, hybrid multi-cloud has become a strategy favored by enterprises, which can help enterprises increase productivity and avoid vendor lock-in.
With these huge advantages, hybrid multi-cloud has now become a market opportunity worth up to 1.2 trillion US dollars.
"No cloud, no future" hybrid cloud will become the mainstream choice for enterprises
Recently, a new report released by the American cloud computing software company called the "Enterprise Cloud Index" shows that China is the world leader in hybrid cloud applications, and it is expected to rapidly expand its leading position in the next few years.
17% of Chinese companies have deployed hybrid clouds, compared with 13% and 11% globally and in the Asia-Pacific region.
Chinese companies plan to actively shift their investments to hybrid cloud architectures in the next five years, and it is expected that hybrid cloud penetration will reach 70% by 2024.
The willingness of Chinese companies to go to the cloud will be stronger than before, but there is a difference from the global market: the application rate of traditional data centers of Chinese companies in 2019 will be around 55%.
In the next 3-5 years, the share of traditional data centers will drop to about 13%. At the same time, the growth rate of hybrid cloud is the fastest, and it is expected that the growth rate of hybrid cloud deployment of Chinese enterprises in the next 3-5 years will be as high as 53%.
For security reasons or following relevant regulatory policies, large and medium-sized government and enterprise users prefer private clouds and hybrid clouds (edge businesses use public clouds, core business private clouds or proprietary clouds). In contrast, foreign users prefer public clouds The acceptance level is relatively high.
As many traditional companies plan to upgrade and optimize their business in the next 10 years, this will become one of the main needs of Chinese companies.
This shift will help Chinese companies get rid of dependence on outdated technology and simplify IT management and operations.
In 2020, the development of hybrid multi-cloud will be further accelerated. Enterprises from all walks of life will use the hybrid multi-cloud strategy to quickly launch various applications that can accelerate the digital transformation of enterprises and provide customers with an excellent experience.
At the same time, more and more enterprises will adopt advanced encryption protection solutions to ensure that the enterprise cloud can remain safe in this threatening environment. Enterprises will also use emerging technologies such as edge computing to expand their capabilities.
Integrated hardware and software automation is the next stage of hybrid cloud
Although hybrid cloud is the general trend in the future, managing a hybrid multi-cloud environment is a very important challenge.
In 2020, more enterprises will adopt a multi-cloud strategy, and how to effectively manage all data distributed in multiple cloud environments will be the key factor that determines the success or failure of enterprise investment.
To this end, more companies will use automated tools to ensure that their complex cloud ecosystems can function properly, saving managers peace of mind.
Automation tools, including early products using artificial intelligence technology, will come out in 2020 to help companies manage this complexity.
Hillary Hunter, vice president and chief technology officer of IBM Public Cloud, said that artificial intelligence is turning into a function that helps manage operational complexity and security.
With the continuous emergence of automated tools, a dashboard that can indicate the operating overview of the cloud platform will become an important tool for administrators.
Enterprises can use this tool to adjust the environment and place the right workloads in the right place to effectively control costs and manage security keys and encryption processes.
In addition, as the business scale of cloud computing is getting larger and larger, the combination of software and hardware has become a rigid need.
The integrated hardware and software technology will further develop, providing developers with a stronger infrastructure platform, improving cloud computing performance and resource utilization, and ultimately providing developers with stable and more cost-effective services.
The technical dividend brought by the integration of software and hardware deserves the attention of every developer.
In the long run, in the competition in the cloud market, relying too much on a single product line or a small number of customers is not a long-term solution, and companies with more balanced product lines are more competitive.
In the future, more and more enterprise storage grades will become services, which will enable enterprises to go to the cloud with zero-transformation of key business code, eliminating the biggest bottleneck of enterprise key business cloud.
Open source tools will proliferate enterprises to use Kubernetes more easily
In 2019, companies begin to use open source software to modernize their infrastructure and accelerate the adoption of hybrid multicloud.
In 2020, developers will focus on developing tools that can support rapid application deployment, and their companies need to use these tools to ensure that companies are always at the forefront of digital transformation.
This means that enterprises will widely adopt the continuous delivery model and accept the DevOps concept-rapid build, test and deployment.
As developers continue to develop cloud-native applications deployed through containers and Kubernetes from the beginning, the continuous delivery model has evolved.
In the coming year, more and more enterprises will migrate to Kubernetes and OpenShift, and they will begin to adopt technologies such as Red Hat Operators to become part of the Kubernetes ecosystem.
Looking ahead, companies will have more and more options available that can help companies strengthen workload management, accelerate application deployment, ensure the highest security, and leverage additional technologies such as edge computing.
In the next ten years, the new cloud world that is about to open will bring us unprecedented value, disaster preparedness and response capabilities, and just a few years ago, all this was just a dream.
