Cloud Strategies
Corporations have abandoned their in-house computer software department. It was expensive, slow, and error prone. Thus, network SaaS and the Cloud were born almost simultaneously. The major telecommunications companies controlled the network. The (Internet-of-things) was expanding, and the .COM era was almost complete. Corporations such Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are almost totally dependent on the Cloud. One of the earliest applications of the Cloud was the corporate website. The website described all the products and services offered with a value statement attached. Each company has a long list of applications; however, security of the hosting network can be ubiquitous, and vulnerable. The results can be catastrophic. Connectivity to the network platform of choice is usually left up to the customer. The security of the Cloud is questioned, and software runs at the most central level. Cloud is also vulnerable to foreign cyber-attacks. Telecom and Software Companies have made presentations to the “Department of Homeland Security”. The Cloud is global, and involves every computer, laptop, tablet or cellphone, connected to a cyber database.
Corporations who initially made their business as a relational data software provider, now depend upon the Cloud to deliver SaaS. The ROI business case is simply part of every business plan. New corporations, regardless of their size, will depend on the Cloud for communication. Their promise is greater access, better training, and LLM.
However, thousands of new data centers, and “Cybersecurity Software” protection now move to the top of the list.
New Subject: “Step-by-step”, “Pay-as-you-go Model”, “Software-as-a-Service”.
Our economy has accepted the importance of Cloud computing. Supply, and digital demand, the old fashion Rule called, “Bend-but-don’t-Break”. This means companies can vary the amount of Cloud capacity required for sales and digital marketing or AI initiatives.
However, because AI, LLM are Generative data intensive, these projects can greatly increase the cost of Cloud services. For every CIO, annual Cloud spending has increased dramatically. Therefore, tighten budgets, right size the Cloud footprint and work intake. Distribution criteria, implementation practices and compliance within the company. During this year we will talk more about the Hybrid Cloud, on-demand data heavy workloads and scale. Performance and latency issues, cybersecurity, data privacy and compliance concerns.
