Cloud Computing has made strides in the industry in the recent years but continues to evolve every day, transforming the way businesses around the world operate and how employees access information.
2024 is approaching faster than a bad actor infiltrates your applications and infrastructure, which is why we are bringing you the key trends we expect to see so you can be prepared and up to date with the latest and greatest technological advancements.
Below are the 2024 cloud computing trends that businesses can leverage to drive efficiency, agility and innovation.
- Edge Computing Dominance:
- The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) means that processing data quicker and closer to the source is going to be crucial in the new year. This is where we expect that edge computing will come into play and is poised to take over the cloud computing space. It will eliminate the need to wait for centralised cloud servers, which is particularly important for applications that require real-time data processing.
- Enhanced Security Measures:
- The digital world is getting bigger and bigger and so are many organisation’s security worries. By 2024, we will see organisation ramping up their cyber protection to protect their customer’s information. Things like encryption, multi-factor authentication and AI-powered tools to detect and block hackers will become increasingly more popular. Organisations that rely on cloud services need to ensure they have a shield of steel to keep data safe.
- Serverless Computing Maturity:
- We expect serverless computing to mature and will offer a more sophisticated solution that will allow for development cycles to happen faster and for more resources to be available. Developers will begin to find it easier to build scalable and more cost-effective apps and sites without the traditional infrastructure we have seen in the past.
- AI and Machine Learning Integration:
- AI and machine learning are joining the cloud party! We are seeing a few cloud platforms that are integrating more pre-built AI/ML models and this is just the beginning! These integrations will allow companies to easily create more savvy applications that can analyse data, make certain decisions and automate some processes. This is just the start of an exciting journey of smarter business and we are here for the trend!
Endemik has a range of partners that can help organisations embrace the trends we will see in cloud computing in 2024 as well as integrate their applications with these new cloud computing aspects. These include Cato Networks, Nutanix, Salt Security and more.
In conclusion, the cloud computing landscape in 2024 promises to be dynamic and transformative. From the widespread adoption of edge computing to the emergence of quantum computing and a heightened focus on sustainability, businesses will need to stay agile and proactive to harness the full potential of these trends. As technology continues to shape the future, the evolution of cloud computing remains a fascinating journey, offering new possibilities and opportunities for innovation.
