1. Cloud computing in the year 2010
Introduction:
The drone around cloud computing has been reached so high in recent trend
from the year 2009 to till date. Even though there are hype for cloud
computing, there is a widespread identification and acceptance that the
operational and economic model of cloud computing will transform IT over
the next few years.
The year 2009, which was a year of uncertainty, reduced budgets and
cautious recovery for most in the IT industry, it is believed that we are at a
peak point for extensive adoption of cloud services in the year 2010. Here
are some of the cloud computing predictions for the upcoming year:
Predictions:
1. Propaganda replaced by realistic acceptance
2. Transformation from ‘VMs on Demand’ to Cloud Computing
3. Emergence of Best Practices
4. Cloud Consolidation
5. The climb of Cloud Consulting
Let us see each predictions of upcoming year regarding the cloud
computing one by one.
1. Propaganda replaced by realistic acceptance
Many projects or enterprises see the possible of the cloud computing model,
but have been trying to understand the proven use cases before taking the
plunge. Fortunately, we’ve seen many early adopters lead the way this year
and there is an rising agreement around the top scenarios which take

2. advantage of the scalable, multi-tenant and on-demand nature of cloud
computing. These scenarios include:
a. Development and Test,
b. IT Proof-of-Concepts (POCs),
c. Scalable Web Hosting,
d. Email hosting services,
e. Collaboration and
f. Grid Computing
In 2010 we see these scenarios became well-defined outline for enterprise
adoption of cloud services.
2. Transformation from ‘VMs on Demand’ to Cloud Computing
We now see a swing of companies that offers ‘Virtual Machines on
Demand’ for few cents per hour. However, it still requires organization to do
much of the work to make these ‘Infrastructure-as-a-Service’ offerings
available to their employees.
Over the next year, we’ll see vendors who offer cloud services as complete
solutions win over basic infrastructure offerings.
For example, the solutions that help integrating internal and external clouds
provide enterprise single sign-on and security, offer billing and refunding
mechanisms, enable business processes and workflow, and automate
complex tasks will prove more valuable to enterprise customers that uses
cloud computing than hosted virtual machines.
3. Emergence of Best Practices
In the year 2009 through early adopters the definition for cloud computing at
different scenarios were defined but in 2010 it will be the year of following

3. best practices in cloud computing. As more and more IT users gain
experience with cloud services, this knowledge will broadcast in the industry
and best practices around security, networking, custom cloud, application
architecture and IT policies will become common. It will also include best
practices around negotiating service level agreements (SLAs) and contracts.
4. Cloud Consolidation
As more and more organizations adopting cloud solutions, we can see
vendors differing from on support and services, enterprise integration and
pricing models, performance and SLAs. In respect to vendors differentiating
their offerings, we can also able to see some consolidation in the industry as
major vendors may look for developing their portfolio of offerings through
their existing channels and sales ventures. Obviously, it is likely that some
early cloud service agencies will gain grip to protect enterprises from
negotiating with different vendors around SLAs and pricing.
5. The climb of Cloud Consulting
Taking the view or high interest in cloud computing and organizations
looking for fair advice in the face of a puzzling vendor background. We can
able to see consulting practices building around design and implementation
of the major cloud situation. Initially, it will be driven by boutique
consulting ventures, but by the end of 2010 we can see many of the major
players will offer consulting practices and advice for migrating to the cloud-
based infrastructure.
