5 enterprise cloud strategy trends for 2019

What does a cloud architect do

Cloud computing has become the model of choice for modernizing IT portfolios, with companies gaining agility and speed to market by renting public cloud software.

But more and more CIOs are standing up so-called hybrid cloud systems in which they shuttle business applications between public clouds from Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and private clouds running internally, or even hosted off-site by a provider.

Stay on budget with these 6 cloud cost management tips, learn the 5 fundamentals of effective cloud management and beware hidden cloud migration gotchas. Get the latest cloud computing insights by signing up for our newsletter.

“In the early days of cloud, many organizations chose one cloud services provider to work with exclusively,” says Charlie Li, Capgemini’s chief cloud officer. “Today, that approach doesn’t go far enough, and organizations are recognizing the benefits of multi-cloud, such as improved organizational flexibility, efficiency, and performance, as well as avoidance of vendor lock-in.”

CIO.com looks at the key trends that will shape cloud adoption in 2020.

Cars in the clouds

Terrafugia - an airplane car that handles and parks like a car, but can fly - was unveiled at the New York Auto Show.

Now all information about accidents, about normal and dangerous driving, GPS-navigator data, cameras and audio for each car - everything is recorded and stored in the cloud. All large trucking companies are required to make daily reports on the performance of their drivers based on the data received. And Japanese parents are demanding that such "smart gizmos" be installed on all school buses technical customer service.

In this case, clouds play the role of storing information from various sources and are practically the only convenient option for such a resource-intensive task.
