Cloud Computing – Trends, Security, Costs and Common Problems

By Aleksandra Sidorowicz

If you want to stay competitive in today’s fast-paced world, implementing cloud computing becomes a necessity. Download Future Processing’s ebook on different sides of successful cloud computing adoption and gain a full insight into the digital transformation with the cloud.

According to a recent survey by Gartner, by 2025 95% of new digital workloads will be deployed on cloud-native platforms, up from 30% in 2021. It’s a significant shift in the way organisations work, which was immensely accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, it’s the best illustration of why in today’s world cloud computing is not an option, but a must.

But the cloud computing world is not the easiest one to grasp, especially when it’s not the only thing you are doing. It can be draining to try to understand its various aspects and not get lost in all technicalities.

The world of cloud computing is massive: its trends, security, costs, and common problems associated with it are some basic things that you have to understand when you start your cloud journey. What you need is as much useful and digestible information as possible, so that you can feel confident and at ease when it comes to your business’s digital transformation with the cloud. It is a good idea to turn to a cloud computing consultant who will guide you through the whole process, too.

The cloud computing trends are basically an overview of what cloud computing really is – the delivery of computing resources (storage, processing power, and software) over the internet – types of cloud services, their top uses and benefits and the reasons for why cloud computing is the future that cannot be omitted.

One of the most important aspects of cloud computing is security. To be able to implement the cloud, you need to be aware of the most common cloud security threats and how important a cloud security manager is – meaning a person who will take care of the risks and challenges of cloud security and manage a comprehensive cloud security strategy for your organisation, including common cloud security standards and memberships.

Some of the best practices for securing data and systems in the cloud are:

  • Data encryption
  • Access control
  • Network security
  • Security monitoring
  • Security updates
  • Data backup, disaster recovery
  • Employee education
  • Compliance and regulatory requirements

The financial aspects of cloud computing are also crucial for you to understand. The cost of cloud migration and ROI are individual aspects for every organisation, and you have to know the reality of cloud migration costs and expenses that need to be considered.

Everyone can encounter some of the common problems within a cloud, so you should know how to avoid them. There are several reasons why cloud implementation may fail – for example, not enough planning, systems and applications that are not compatible with the chosen cloud type, or security issues. To avoid these potential problems, choosing the right partner that can take you on your cloud migration journey is vital.

Future Processing’s ebook on cloud computing will give you all that we mentioned above and more; it will allow you to find not only answers to your questions about cloud but also some useful tips that you can implement straight away and get advantage of. It will also give you some things you may want to think about in the nearest future to make your organisation even more successful and to stay ahead of your competition.
