The Impact Of Cloud Computing 2.0

While it is safe to say that the first phase of cloud computing has created major changes for businesses using the service, there is still more that cloud computing can do.

As the technology continues to evolve and improve, cloud computing 2.0 will bring even more of an impact on those enjoying the current benefits of cloud services. People talk often about how much cloud computing expands flexibility and allows you to pay based on the services you use.

With new versions of cloud computing and growing development of the concept there will be even more for businesses to get out of the technology than just the basic features of the past services.

New Cloud Computing Services 

With new cloud computing services you will no longer have to pick from a list of sizes for your storage capacity. You can independently choose the number of CPU cores, RAM and disk space with cloud computing 2.0 to fit the system to your specific needs. With older services you could potentially be wasting money by using unsuitable sizes that you are not using to their full capacity.

With cloud computing a lot of thought has been put into scaling horizontally but people have forgotten about scaling vertically by adding resources to an existing server. The next phase of cloud computing would involve adding more CPU cores or memory to a system rather than more instances that do not fit correctly. Cloud computing 2.0 will include vertical scaling instead of just horizontal scaling up as a part of their standard features.

The First Phase 

The first phase of cloud computing had issues with performance that needs to be resolved with the new version of the cloud. In the past cloud services would often launch too many VM instances that ended up not being used. The problem of over-provisioning and mismatched hardware led to inefficient performance that can easily be improved upon.

Cloud computing 2.0 will be more creative and effective with its virtual resource provisioning. This ultimately will mean better and more consistent performance for customers of the new cloud services.  Cloud computing will also become easier for the customer to use in the next generation of services.

Cloud Computing Audience

The audience for cloud computing was originally the developer so it could appear abstract for those who could make the necessary mental links. Cloud computing 2.0 will cater to a larger audience and be more comprehensible and much easier to use with a graphical interface.

Cloud computing has always had a lot to offer those looking for its kind of services but in no way has it been completely perfected. It will continue to be developed and improved so that it is more efficient, performs better and is easier to use for the average person.

The next phase of cloud computing will reduce many of the obvious problems that held back the technology from being as flexible and beneficial as it could be. In the future of cloud computing, users will be able to utilize the technology to its full potential.
