Heads Further in the Clouds

Cloud computing is going to continue to rise to the top of the priority list because while it is an investment, it’s a flexible one that can change with the business.

“The cloud allows businesses to eliminate large IT investments and obtain an ROI over many years by moving to a more efficient pay-for-what-you-need monthly payment model.” —Will Ominsky, senior director, MSP sales, Nerdio

“Businesses are realizing that cloud is here to stay. A younger workforce will demand the latest tools and technology, which means companies can’t offer outdated technology. For example, IT can no longer have long update cycles where they could run older versions of Windows for years. This means they will need to invest in tools that let them update to new technology often. Otherwise, they risk losing business opportunities if they don’t adopt some new technology quickly enough. Technologies that will rise to the top – Intune for endpoint management, app testing tools like Rimo3, and single-pane-of-glass tools as app sprawl will get out of control.” —Amol Dalvi, vice president of product, Nerdio

“Cloud-native technologies such as containers and serverless models have become more popular across the public cloud in recent years, allowing for faster application development and deployment at scale. For enterprises looking to innovate quickly or overhaul their cloud infrastructure without major costs in 2023, cloud-native application development might be the answer to their modernization goals. New developments in edge computing and 5G are expected to further boost cloud-native adoption and innovation in the industry in the coming year, providing a bigger opportunity for organizations to quickly scale up their data in the cloud and gain access to new capabilities with their software.” —Sean Mahoney, vice president and general manager, Ensono Digital
