• The future and benefits of Cloud
Computing
IDC predicts cloud computing will reach $42 billion
in 2012.
Gartner Inc. projects world-wide cloud-services
revenue will rise 21.3% in 2009 to $56.3 billion.
Merrill Lynch last year estimated cloud-computing
revenues would reach $160 billion in 2011
Salesforce started using the term cloud computing,
its revenue grew 44%.

10. Conclusion
Cloud Computing aren’t yet at the center of
most users’ and developers’ attention. The
odds are good, though, that this won’t be
true five years from now. The attraction of
cloud-based computing, including
scalability and lower cost, are very real. So,
it’s expected the cloud to play an
increasing role in the future. The next
generation of computing is here.
