Cloud computing
With cloud computing playing an even more important role in the management of Big Data, the number of servers worldwide is expected to grow tenfold and the amount of information managed directly by enterprise data centers to grow by a factor of 14. As the infrastructure of the digital universe becomes ever more connected, information won’t reside within the region where it is consumed, nor will it need to. By 2020, IDC estimates that nearly 40% of data will be “touched” by cloud computing (private and public), meaning that somewhere between a byte’s origination and consumption, it will be stored or processed in a cloud. IT professionals will be at the forefront of this changing technology landscape and would need to lead by evolving their skills and knowledge to take-up new roles emerging in the industry. EMC Corporation has taken lead in helping industry and academia develop the next generation of IT professionals, with a strong understanding of virtualization and cloud computing technologies thru its Cloud Infrastructure and Services.
FUTURE OF CLOUD
Cloud presents the perfect solution and is revolutionizing the IT process by making it possible to run IT As-AService. IDC projects that the digital universe will reach 40 zettabytes (ZB) by 2020, an amount that exceeds previous forecasts by 5 ZBs, resulting in a 50-fold growth from the beginning of 2010. As result, investment in spending on IT hardware, software, services, telecommunications and staff that could be considered the “infrastructure” of the digital universe will grow by 40% between 2012 and 2020. Investment in targeted areas like storage management, security, Big Data, and cloud computing will grow considerably faster. As per EMC - Zinnov study, private cloud opportunity alone will create 100,000 jobs in India by 2015. It also warns that companies are currently under skilled in addressing cloud computing implementations. Besides technical jobs, marketing and selling of cloud-based solutions will also be required, which in turn will create a host of new positions. Cloud computing is also giving rise to a new generation of software product companies, which can now sell their products on an on-demand basis over the Internet. It is early days yet, but IT engineers who can write cloud-ready applications, provision and maintain the infrastructure at the back-end, appear to have an edge over their peers. The cloud's impact on other parts of the economy will also be significant. According to a paper by research firm IDC, “jobs will be created across functional areas such as marketing, sales, finance and administration, production and service.”
