The technology that underpinned the world’s economy, global supply chains, and remote workforces during the COVID-19 pandemic is most likely to continue to be an essential target for organizations that are looking for business continuity, cost efficiency, and increased stability in 2021. Yes, we’re talking about Cloud Computing.

All companies are finding ways to catch up with the future cloud computing trends of 2021 to stay ahead of the game. But are you aware of these trends? Lucky for you, we have these trends jotted down together, so make sure you make the most of it.

Global Public Cloud Infrastructure Market
As the cloud continues to take the center stage, the global cloud infrastructure market is predicted to grow 35% to $120 billion in 2021, as per Forrester Research. The move towards cloud solutions is already proceeding at a healthy rate and is likely to spike in 2021, yielding greater enterprise adoption, cloud provider revenue, and business value.

The increased use of public cloud services has strengthened cloud adoption to be the ‘new normal’. Along with this, the ability to use on-demand and scalable cloud models to achieve cost efficiency and business continuity is motivating organizations to rapidly accelerate their digital business transformation plans.

Edge Is the New Cloud
The reason why edge computing is making its case is because of the rise in the usage of IoT devices and the arrival of the much-anticipated 5G network. In a future with a comparatively heavy data network and billions of devices connected to the internet, faster and more reliable data processing will become extensively crucial. And although cloud computing has proven to be a cost-effective and flexible measure so far, edge computing will gradually take over because the networking bandwidth will have more strain.

Artificial Intelligence Engineering

AI has clearly reached unforeseen peaks. It has not only helped technology revolutionize business processes but has also paired up with cloud computing to help organizations be more effective, strategic, and insight-driven. It also helps organizations in saving costs and brings agility which is absolutely essential in the cloud. AI is also likely to have a huge impact on the value of several industries. According to McKinsey, the value added by AI in cloud computing could be as high as 15.4$ billion.

Serverless
Enterprises can feel free to rely on serverless computing because it provides space to work on core products without the pressure to operate or manage servers. Did you know that the CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella also favors serverless cloud? Yes! Serverless was in fact one of the top five fastest-growing PaaS cloud services for 2020, according to Flexera.
