The shift would be more evident with 80% of the enterprise expected to shift their workloads to cloud by the end of 2020. Here are a few predictions for 2020 in cloud technologies.

Increased Focus on Cloud Security 

Because 2019 witnessed some serious public cloud security breaches, cloud security will be a key focus area in 2020. As more and more enterprises will be shifting to cloud spot light will be on cloud workload security, data encryption and threat intelligence etc.

Edge Computing 

Edge computing is a distributed computing technique which delivers computation and data storage to the location of requirement closer to where it is needed. Thus enhance response time and save bandwidth. As we move more into the future, edge computing will be complimenting cloud technologies for consistent data delivery. As a matter of fact, a powerful cloud infrastructure will surface as the basic necessity for any edge computing effort.

With major transformations happening, hybrid clouds can provide an integrated experience to organizations and resolve serious challenges around latency. Around 50% of IT services company in Dubai are expected to embrace a hybrid cloud model in 2020, which is a major shift. Users can have a cloud like experience without viewing public cloud and on-premise infrastructure as two different entities.       

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Language 

Artificial intelligence and machine learning will see more and more revolutionizing across industries. This will also reflect across cloud computing arena. A recent survey highlighted that more than 60% of the IT industry believe that artificial intelligence and machine learning will be the game changer for cloud transformation in 2020.   

Serverless Computing To Be Of Center Stage

Serverless computing is a cloud computing model in which the server is administered by the cloud provider, while actively managing allocation of resources. It takes away the worry of managing and operating servers, either in the cloud or on-premises. It is expected that 20% of companies would shift to Serverless computing, a whopping increase in comparison with the 5% of 2020.
