The rapid growth in cloud technology has altered the way organizations look to integrate cloud technology in their business model.

For this very reason, RightScale, a leader in the cloud management declared milestones highlighting the importance of cloud management.

The Immediate Future of Cloud Computing

IDC research foresees that cloud computing industry will do a business of about $3.6 billion by the year 2016. A large percentage of enterprise IT strategists believe that in order to avail cloud services, they need to acquire management software not already available to them.  As CEO of RightScale, Michell Crandell says, “More forward-thinking companies than ever are embracing the cloud as an enabler for agility and scalability. From improving your time-to-market for delivering new products and services to driving more revenue, RightScale’s cloud management provides a powerful platform to help you meet business goals leveraging new approaches to IT.”

As more and more organizations are inclined towards using cloud, RightScale pinpoints three cloud trends in the future:

1.      Multi-Cloud is the Future

It seems that all enterprises now prefer going for a hybrid cloud solution. The reason is that a multi-cloud enables companies to choose the infrastructure that best suits them. It is forecasted that 2013 will see a further incline towards using hybrid clouds by enterprises.

2.      From Secret to Being Strategic

Initially companies used cloud for only specific projects. However due to improved cloud management services such as those provided by RightScale, companies will be able to control and navigate a wider set of applications all the while, with keeping the costs of cloud under control.

3.      The Middlemen’s Profits

Application producers and promoters will move towards cloud to avail costs benefits. The real benefits of this move will be revealed when ‘middle layer organizations’ move towards cloud to maximize their profits.

RightScale Commute in the Near Future
