Can Cloud Computing Help Enterprises Weather the Economic Storm?
Datamonitor, May 2009, Pages: 37
The rapid pace of proliferation of the term 'cloud computing' is nothing short of astonishing. However, many doubts remain regarding the exact scope and definition of the term or the long-term impact of the business model it denotes.
Scope
- Defines cloud computing, describes its model of operation and provides a classification of cloud computing services.
- Considers drivers and inhibitors of cloud computing adoption in the context of the current global recession.
- Outlines the emerging competitive landscape for cloud computing services and related technologies.
- Recommends the stance that enterprises, technology vendors and service providers should adopt regarding cloud computing.
Highlights of this title
In merely 18 months the neologism 'cloud computing' has gone from obscurity to pervasiveness. Although elusive to define, the emerging paradigm is clearly capturing the imagination of the IT market. It is believed that the level of interest in the alternative models of IT consumption is driven by the ongoing commoditization of IT technology.
Datamonitor defines cloud computing as an IT consumption pattern that relies on abstracted resources delivered as utility services. Such approach to IT generation, delivery and deployment allows for a more efficient way to carry out IT tasks due to the inherent benefits of services over products.
While the current global recession will accelerate take-up of cloud computing, the nature of computing resources and a slew of migration challenges mean that the adoption will not be universal. Nevertheless, it remains clear to Datamonitor that the cloud computing model will play an increasingly important role in the future.
