1. Cloud Computing trends that’ll disrupt the
industry in 2015
If you were to believe IT experts - Cloud Computing is going to be one of the
major IT trends in 2015. Experts are of the belief that cloud computing will
continue to grow manifold. According to Computerworld Forecast Study, “the
growth is expected climb up 42% this year, but given the growing
opportunities, cloud computing is going to face some upheavals along the
way.”
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is going to be an upsurge in mobile technologies and mainstream business, which is
going to push the cloud computing space to new heights. In 2015, with the growing demand
for cloud computing, there are going to be new challenges and opportunities, which could
some way or the other, disrupt the tending space.

2. Let’s read below for some of these key trends that could be a distress to the
industry:
1.Increase in containerization of IT resources
BYOD (bring your own device) policies are increasing of late, thus containerization is bound
to increase. Mobile devices are being used for both personal and business purposes by
employees. Business will want to keep both these domains separate, in order to protect
business data; therefore, organizations will be using containerization to control devices. The
result is that technologies are increasing and provisioning platform is enabled on shared
infrastructure allowing employees to perform more tasks with utilization of less resource.
2.Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) allows business to utilize applications and services on a larger
scale replying on a cloud service provider. As PaaS providers are adding more data
integration and database management capabilities to enable application building on a large
scale; PaaS services are only going to increase, Gartner predicts this to rise to about $1.8
billion in 2015.
3.Immergence of Microsoft cloud
It has been seen in the last year, and it’s a trend that is going to continue in 2015 –
Microsoft has derived more revenues from cloud based services like Azure and Office 365
than from its on-premises applications such as Windows. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's
mobile-first, cloud-first initiative is only speeding this process. As more and more cloud and
on-premises services are integrated with REST and API solutions, data and application
sources will be able to work together in the cloud to enhance functionality.
4.Security is a prevailing issue
Cloud is vulnerable to hacks and as dependence on cloud computing increases, there is
going to be an increase in nefarious intent to breach cloud security. Lack of training and
inappropriate compliance is going to leave business with third-party SaaS and Internet of
Things (Connected consumer electronics) vulnerable to attacks.
