Five trends affecting the adoption of cloud today – ITProPortal
Cloud computing is firmly established as the new normal for enterprise IT. Across industries such as manufacturing and automotive, cloud continues to be one of the fastest-growing segments of IT spend. With greater spend, however, comes greater responsibility for CIOs to invest budgets wisely, and a bigger impact if things go wrong.
CIOs looking to prepare their organisation to succeed in the upcoming turns must take a differentiated approach to cloud computing. It will be essential for CIOs to develop a formal strategy that helps to put individual cloud decisions in the context of the enterprises strategic goals.
In the new era of cloud, cost optimisation will be crucial. Multicloud strategies will warrant provider independence and address concentration risk. The presence of in-house cloud skills will be a key indicator of enterprise agility, including the ability to distribute cloud services where customers want to consume them, on-premises and on the edge while staying secure.
These five factors will impact cloud adoption throughout this year and the steps that CIOs can take to thrive in a cloud-first world.
For an organisation using cloud services across multiple geographies, finding just one public cloud infrastructure provider to meet its needs is a struggle. In organisations like this, the decision to use a multicloud strategy is clear.
In a recent Gartner survey of public cloud users, 81 per cent of respondents said they are working with two or more providers and by 2024 multicloud strategies will reduce vendor dependency for two-thirds of organisations. However, this will primarily happen in ways other than application portability.
Application portability is the ability to migrate an application across platforms without change, and it is seen as benefit of a multicloud strategy. The reality of business practices, though, is that few applications ever move once they have been deployed in production and adopted by the business. Multicloud computing decisions usually rest on three considerations:
Through 2022, insufficient cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS) skills will delay half of enterprise IT organisations migration to the cloud by two years or more. Todays cloud migration strategies tend more toward lift-and-shift than toward modernisation or refactoring. However, lift-and-shift projects do not develop native-cloud skills. This is creating a market where service providers cannot train and certify people quickly enough to satisfy the need for skilled cloud professionals.
As consulting companies struggle to find a bench of talented people with relevant cloud skills, clients are falling short of their cloud adoption objectives. System integrators (SIs) are the fallback, but clients often do not trust them because many SIs are also still learning and struggle to scale their operations to meet demand.
To overcome the challenges of this workforce shortage, enterprises looking to migrate workloads to the cloud should work with managed service providers and SIs that have a proven track record of successful migrations within the target industry. These partners must also be willing to quantify and commit to expected costs and potential savings.
Cloud security breaches consistently make news headlines. Yet, the stories of these breaches are often framed with vague explanations a misconfigured database or mismanagement by an unnamed third party.
The ambiguity that surrounds cloud computing can make securing the enterprise seem daunting. Concerns about security have led some CIOs to limit their organisational use of public cloud services.
However, the challenge exists not in the security of the cloud itself, but in the policies and technologies for security and control of the technology. In nearly all cases, it is the user, not the cloud provider, who fails to manage the controls used to protect an organisations data.
CIOs must change their line of questioning from Is the cloud secure? to Am I using the cloud securely? to then focus on implementing vendor-specific training for their staff and apply risk management practices to support cloud decisions.
Through 2024, nearly all legacy applications migrated to public cloud IaaS will require optimisation to become more cost-effective. Cloud providers will continue to strengthen their native optimisation capabilities to help organisations select the most cost-effective architecture that can deliver the required performance.
The market for third-party cost optimisation tools will also expand, particularly in multicloud environments. Their value will concentrate on higher-quality analytics that can maximise savings without compromising performance, provide independence from cloud providers and offer multicloud management consistency.
Teams need to recognise the need for optimisation as an integral part of cloud migration projects and develop skills and processes early to use tools to analyse operational data and find cost optimisation opportunities. Leveraging what cloud providers offer natively and augmenting it with third-party solutions in key to maximise savings.
By 2023, the leading cloud service providers will have a distributed ATM-like presence to serve a subset of their services for low-latency application requirements. Many cloud service providers are already investing in ways to make their services available closer to the users that need to access them.
This trend will continue as the granularity of the regions covered by these cloud service providers increases. Micro data centres will be located in areas where a high population of users congregates, while pop-up cloud service points will support temporary requirements like sporting events and concerts.
Equipment supporting an appropriate subset of public cloud services will be housed in locations close enough to the point of need to support the low-latency requirements of the applications that use them. This will enable applications with such requirements to run directly from the cloud providers native services without having to build infrastructure. The introduction and spread of ATM-like cloud service points can be thought of as a specific implementation of edge computing, which continues to grow rapidly.
In 2020, CIOs should consider how these trends will influence their cloud adoption and migration plans for years to come, taking steps now to prepare their IT infrastructure for the future of cloud.

JD to Snatch Share of China’s Cloud Market Dominated by the Big Three – CapitalWatch
Author: Anna Vodopyanova
After e-commerce and delivery, JD.com Inc. (Nasdaq: JD) is now looking to rival Alibaba Group (NYSE: BABA; HKEX: 9988) in cloud services.
China's major online retailer JD, which also operates JD Logistics and JD Digits, has started shifting its focus to technology this month through its subsidiary, JD Cloud & AI. Chairman of the company's tech committee, Bowen Zhou, discussed the move in a CNBC in a recent interview. He said the ultimate goal is to deliver cloud computing services to Fortune 500 companies, as well as U.S. and European tech firms looking to expand in China.
Thus,JD is entering the highly competitive market dominated by conglomerates Alibaba, Tencent Holdings (HKEX: 0700), and Baidu (Nasdaq: BIDU). Alibaba's cloud computing segment has been its fastest-growing. For the year-end trimester, the giant posted 62% year-over-year revenue growth, at $1.5 billion, in cloud, while its core commerce sector, excluding logistics and local commerce, grew 36%, according to its quarterly report posted in mid-February.
Baidu posted 35% y-o-y growth in "other revenues," which included cloud services, at $1.2 billion, for the same quarter. China's top search engine operator and the developer of the self-driving Apollo program, Baidu already has Tesla Inc. (Nasdaq: TSLA) on its side, providing map cloud services for the American automaker in China.
Tencent, operating in gaming, payments, and social networking, reported $2.4 billion in cloud revenue for the fourth quarter and reached 1 million in paying customers. The company said it especially increased market share in the internet services, municipal services, tourism, and industrial sectors.
All three have also been investing in blockchain and AI, as well as in chip development.
China's Growing Cloud
Canalys estimated in a March 2020 report that China's cloud market grew nearly 67% in the fourth quarter and took up 10.8% of the world total, making it the second-largest. Alibaba held 46.4% of the cloud computing spend, Tencent followed with 18%, and Baidu had 8.8% in China, according to the market analytics firm.
The coronavirus outbreak, which led to massive lockdowns of China's businesses nationwide in the first quarter, will undoubtedly accelerate digitization and cloud computing development.
In a corporate blog last week, JD said it is "now one of the highest investors in R&D among Chinese Internet companies." Starting with the story of how an IBM computer defeated Garry Kasparov in a 1997 chess tournament, describing Bowen Zhou's fascination with technology and AI, through his service at IBM Watson and now JD, the article arrived at JD's trusted (a key word for Chinese businesses) technology services with Zhou as its leader.
The blog cited Zhou as saying, "It is quite natural for JD to open its accumulated mature technology services to external partners, from e-commerce to logistics to finance, to enable partners down and up the supply chain to improve their own efficiency."
On Monday in New York, the stock in JD shifted 2% higher early, but slipped later in the day to $39.83 per American depositary share, 32 cents below Friday's close.

Best ETFs of 2020: The Global X Cloud Computing Fund Should Be a Winner – Investorplace.com
This article is a part of InvestorPlace.coms Best ETFs for 2020 contest. Dana Blankenhorns choice for the contest is the Global X Cloud Computing Fund (NASDAQ:CLOU).
Since the start of 2020, the Global X Cloud Computing Fund (NASDAQ:CLOU) is down by 9%.
In a market infected with fear thanks to the coronavirus from China, that counts as a win.
CLOU had been outperforming the S&P 500 during January and February. The divergence has sharpened since things got serious on Feb. 19. Since then, CLOU is down 18%, but the S&P is down 27%.
CLOU is designed to track the INDXX USA Cloud Computing Index. This index encompasses companies that are actively involved in the cloud computing industry. Most are applications sold as services.
The largest holding of CLOU is Shopify (NYSE:SHOP), an e-commerce application that was one of the markets best performers in 2018 and 2019. Over the last three years it rose from less than $70 per share to a recent high of almost $600 before falling back to its present level of $415.
Other big application providers in the index are Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX), Salesforce(NYSE:CRM) and Twilio (NYSE:TWLO), the latter of which embeds voice, video and text into other applications.
Many CLOU components provide services for other cloud companies. An example is Zscaler (NASDAQ:ZS), a cloud security company whose shares are up 23% so far in 2020. Zscaler has been warning about risks in the shadow IoT world, the laptops and phones used by workers at home.
Not everything CLOU touches has turned to gold. Among the losers so far are Paycom Software (NYSE:PAYC), which provides cloud-based human resources applications. Paycom has been hit hard as companies have moved to lay off workers, and the shares are down 20% so far in 2020.
CLOU doesnt just feature cloud application providers.
Akamai Technologies (NASDAQ:AKAM), originally created as a Content Delivery Network in 1998, now offers a host of security and connectivity solutions for carriers. Its software works inside the network, invisible to most users. Its customers include service providers as well as enterprises. Akamai shares are up nearly 3% so far this year.
Another big holding is Digital Realty Trust (NYSE:DLR), a real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns data centers. These are the buildings, filled with computers and networking gear, through which enterprises connect with the cloud and clouds connect to each other. REITs are organized to build with debt and pay income back to shareholders. DLRs dividend of $4.48 per share last year yielded 3.34%. Since the start of the year, DLR shares are up 13%.
Proofpoint (NASDAQ:PFPT) focuses on protecting e-mail, both the messages themselves and the mailboxes they rest in. This has become the most expensive problem in all of cybercrime, the company says. Since the start of 2020, however, Proofpoint shares are down by 14%, because it has been delaying profits in favor of growth. Thats an approach that is in bad taste right now.
I had no idea a global pandemic was around the corner when I chose to recommend CLOU late last year.
I was just looking to win the contest. It seemed to me that remote work, and cloud applications, were fated to grow fast. Most CLOU holdings are growth companies, not dividend payers, and that aggressive approach will usually win.
As I wrote at the time, To win a contest you must be bold. Even by the end of 2019, the transition to the cloud was only 20% complete, according to International Business Machines (NYSE:IBM).
That puts cloud applications at the center of their growth curve. Such companies have ample pricing power, limited competition and innovative solutions to offer. The way to growth is always on the leading edge.
So, it seems, is the way to safety in a panic.

Blog: How cloud companies are reacting to Covid-19 and services offered: AWS, Alibaba, and more – Cloud Tech
LIVE As the Covid-19 pandemic continues, with citizens across many countries urged to work from home where possible, it has posed a unique challenge for both frontend applications and the backend technologies underpinning them.
A lot of attention has, understandably, focused on the former. Zoom, which appears to be the videoconferencing tool du jour for many businesses, has held up well thus far, although at the time of print (March 23) some downtime issues in the UK have been detected. Similarly, outside of work, Netflix is lowering its video quality to keep up with demand. Yet underneath it all, cloud infrastructure providers are aiming to keep their systems online throughout the pandemic.
Whether it is cloud software or infrastructure, many of the worlds leading companies are making their tools available for certain users primarily healthcare organisations or researchers working on Covid-19.
CloudTech is putting together a list of offerings from vendors reacting to the Covid-19 crisis, which can be found below. If your organisation is not on this list and is making products available, let us know at editorial@techforge.pub.
Alibaba Cloud said on March 23 that the Alibaba Foundation and Jack Ma Foundation had recently launched the Global MediXchange for Combating Covid-19. The project, with the support of Alibaba Cloud Intelligence and Alibaba Health, was established to facilitate continued communication and collaboration across borders, as well as to provide the necessary computing capabilities and data intelligence to empower pivotal research efforts, the company said. You can find out more about the initiative here.
In a previous Canalys report, Alibaba Cloud had been praised for offering credits to organisations enabling them to buy its Elastic Compute Service, as well as cybersecurity services. The company also made its AI-powered platform freely available to research institutions working on treating and preventing coronavirus. You can find out more about these services here.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced on March 20 that it was committing $20 million for customers working on diagnostics solutions. The AWS Diagnostic Development Initiative is open to accredited research institutions and private entities using AWS to support research-oriented workloads for the development of Covid-19 testing and diagnostics.
The initiative is being put together alongside 35 global research institutions, startups, and other businesses, and is being aided by an outside technical advisory group of leading scientists and global health policy experts. You can find out more about the project here.
Google Cloud announced on March 3 that it was rolling out free access to advanced Hangouts Meet videoconferencing capabilities to all G Suite and G Suite for Education customers globally, including larger meetings up to 250 participants per call as well as live streaming up to 100,000 viewers, and the ability to record meetings and save them to Google Drive.
The company has already taken other steps. On March 17, Google postponed its Cloud Next event, having previously made the decision to take its April 6-8 gathering virtual-only.
IBM said on March 22 that it was collaborating with the White House and the US Department of Energy among others to launch the Covid-19 High Performance Computing Consortium. The company said it would pool an unprecedented amount of computing power 16 systems with more than 330 petaflops, 775,000 CPU cores, 34,000 GPUs and more to help researchers everywhere better understand Covid-19, its treatments and potential cures.
The next step, IBM added, is to work with consortium partners to evaluate proposals from researchers around the world and provide access to this supercomputing capacity for the projects that can have the most immediate impact. According to reports, citing President Trump, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft are also part of the consortium.
Microsoft announced on March 19 that National Health Service (NHS) staff in the UK can use collaboration tool Microsoft Teams for free. NHS Digital rolled out Teams across all NHSmail users between March 16 and March 20.
In the US, Microsoft has helped design a coronavirus self-checker in a project alongside the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As reported on March 23 the bot, called Clara, aims to help people make decisions about what to do if they have potential Covid-19 symptoms.
It was reported by ZDnet on March 24that the company is throttling some of its services to maintain Office 365 performance.
March 25: Linux software provider SUSE has announced it is offering free operating system and container technologies to medical device manufacturers working on Covid-19. Interested organisations should email CCO@suse.com.

Women in STEM: Giving back to the community – Gigabit Magazine – Technology News, Magazine and Website
At present in the UK, only 15% of Engineering graduates are female. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) has historically been male dominant, which in turn, has led to more men in the talent pool. In some regions, there are also accessibility barriers, such as reduced access to computer rooms and unequipped teaching facilities and expertise, which have led to an imbalance in engineering teams when it comes to diversity. Whilst, weve come a long way in diversifying STEM, we still have a way to go before the tech industry will have a truly diverse workforce. Businesses have an opportunity and an obligation to help diversify not only their workforces, but the talent pool.
Having worked with Girls Who Code, the non-profit organisation which aims to support and increase the number of women in computer science, its clear to see the difference it makes when you give young women the opportunity to learn coding. The alumni of Girls Who Code went on to major in computer science at 15 times the national average.
Inspiring the next generation of women in technology and science fields must focus on education in software programming, especially in areas where learning is limited. In developing countries, educating women in STEM has the ability to give women the power to gain financial independence, an agent for changing lives for the better.
But these communities require more than just investment. Businesses and leaders in STEM can give back by sharing career advice, knowledge, inspiration, experiences and resources to help educate and empower young women to consider a path in STEM.
Bringing more women into the sector is not just the right thing to do, its the smart thing to do. As technologies such as AI and ML begin to take off, the importance and capacity of data and its frameworks is growing. In the past data was an outcome, however, data is now implemented within technologies, responsible for informing all our systems. This is where potential data bias can evolve. Several research centres, such as the AI Now Institute, have reported that voice and speech recognition systems performed worse for women. Most recently, YouGov found that close to two-thirds of women say voice assistants such as Siri and Alexa have difficulties responding to their commands because they are built predominantly by men.
Recently, an HR recruitment tool taught itself to downgrade female candidates because men have historically held technological jobs and therefore saw males as more suitable. As a result, Amazon had to shut down a number of AI driven programmes due to this bias. Facial recognition systems have also been more error-bound with female faces and in fact find it harder to identify faces from minorities. Photos used to train computer systems include more male white than from any other demographic. A balanced developer-base will be key to developing robust, neutral frameworks and anticipating future challenges, helping to create successful end-products which work equally well for both men and women.
SEE ALSO:
Exposure to STEM is made more likely through private education or being closely located to major tech hubs such as Silicon Valley or Silicon roundabout. Finding opportunities within STEM can otherwise be difficult. There are even greater challenges in developing or war-torn countries like Afghanistan, where theres unfortunately not a market for STEM graduates. Yet, it was a computer programming insights programme in my hometown, Kabul, which piqued my interest and ignited my passion for computer programming.
Its important for businesses and voices within the STEM community to give back and help give young people exposure to these subjects. Businesses have the power to educate young people on the need for talented and creative young people in the sector and why a balanced developer base is so important. It is the next wave of developers, scientists and programmers which are key to businesses future prosperity, so its in their best interests to engage with the younger community and open their eyes to a career in STEM. Ideally, computer programming should be studied from an early age, which is something leaders should be actively campaigning for.
With the rise of social media, its never been easier for leaders and mentors to reach out to aspiring members of the STEM community. Social media platforms have the benefit of cutting out the middle-man, giving people direct access to anyone and any community with a social media account. Linkedin, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and online forums have become hot spots where young people in STEM can feel connected, discuss careers in STEM, hear from role models and help others by sharing experiences.
A recent movement on Instagram, where women in science use the hashtag #ScientistsWhoSelfie, reveals a community where women feel empowered by connecting and sharing their stories. This hashtag has become a powerful tool in encouraging young, non-white women to come into the sector, breaking down the stereotype of what scientists have historically looked like. Businesses can give back via social media by using their own social networks to promote diversity, as well as hosting programmes, forums and blogs where young people can come for advice and inspiration.
Theres never been a better or more crucial time to give back to our communities in STEM. The lack of representation is already creating repercussions when it comes to general product design, and bias within AI. To ensure female talent avoids slipping through the net, it will take a fully pledged drive from the ground-up, giving back to the community and offering a lending hand to our future workforce.

4 Ways the Coronavirus Pandemic Could Impact IBM – Motley Fool
The coronavirus outbreak represents a serious threat for industries such as restaurants and airlines sincetheir activities are greatly reduced, if not shut down. In contrast,the consequences of social distancing to fight against the spread of the virus should boost other businesses that offer remote working and communications capabilities -- the video communication specialist Zoom Communications and the tech company Citrix Systems come to mind.
But for IBM (NYSE:IBM), the situation is more complex because of its diversified activities and ongoing transformation. Here are four ways the coronavirus pandemic could impact the 109-year-old tech giant.
From a high-level perspective, IBM's business consists of selling computing infrastructure and services to enterprises. As such, it's exposed to the information technology (IT) global spending that should slow down this year.Because of the coronavirus outbreak, the research company IDC estimates IT spending could increase by only 1% in 2020, down from 4% previously.
But the consequences for IBM could be much more pronounced. With its footprint across many industries in 175 countries, the company also depends on the global economy. Given the wide range of economic forecasts for this year, predictions remain hazardous. But the downside potential seems inevitable. For instance, Reutersreported thatMorgan Stanley analysts expected global growth to plunge to global financial crisis lows in 2020.
Some of IBM's segments, such as cybersecurity and cloud, should benefit from the social distancing measures that change the way enterprises work. But given the potential impact of the coronavirus on the worldwide economy, IBM's global business may not thrive in this environment.
Management hasn't updated its guidance yet, but the first-quarter earnings call on April 20 should provide a precious update about IBM's short-term outlook.

Over the last several years, IBM has been struggling with diminishing revenue. Because of some asset divestiture and the decline of some of its legacy businesses that deal with on-premises computing infrastructures, revenue dropped from $81.7 billion in 2015 to $77.1 billion in 2019. But the company has been investing in growth areas such as blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud computing to offset this decline.
Cloud technology has become a key element of IBM's portfolio.During the last quarter, cloud represented 31.2% of total revenue, up from 4% in 2013, boosted by the acquisition of Red Hat in July 2019.
The immediate impact of the coronavirus on IBM's cloud business remains uncertain. Social distancing means that at least one-third of the worldwide population will stay home, which should increase the consumption of cloud-based services. But the potential slowdown of the global economy could also reduce the demand for IBM's solutions in this area.
Beyond these short-term uncertainties, working from home may become a secular trend. Cloud computing provides the infrastructure to support that shift, which should boost the company's cloud business after the coronavirus situation settles.
Since IBM spent $34.8 billion in cash to acquire Red Hat, its net debt -- total debt minus cash and equivalents -- increased in a meaningful way, from $33.6 billion at the end of 2018 to $53.9 billion at the end of last year.As a result, the rating agency Moody'shas downgraded IBM's long-term debt rating from A1 to A2, but that still corresponds to a solid investment grade. In addition, management had expressed its goal of keeping a strong credit ratingby reducing the debt load, thanks to the company's strongfree cash flow, which reached$11.9 billionlast year.
But that was before thecoronavirus outbreak.However, that level of free cash flow represents a comfortable safety net to keep on reducing the net debt -- at a slower pace, though -- even if a recession materializes.
IBM has been paying a dividend for 104 consecutive years. It's also on the way to becoming a Dividend Aristocratif it increases its dividend this year, as planned before the coronavirus outbreak.
The free cash flow of $11.9 billion more than covered the $5.7 billion of dividends it paid in 2019. And in January, management said that free cash flow would increase this year, which bodes well for sustaining the dividend.
However, shareholders should moderate their expectations. Before the pandemic, I had argued a strong dividend increase was unlikelybecause of the focus on reducing the company's debt load. And depending on the severity of the crisis and its impact on IBM's free cash flow, not increasing -- or cutting -- the dividend has become a possibility. Such a decision may disappoint income-oriented investors, which could have a negative impact on IBM's stock price.

Summary
Initially approached with caution by healthcare organizations, cloud computing is becoming more widely adopted. In 2017, cloud adoption in healthcare increased, as cost savings outweigh potential data protection concerns. Healthcare IT systems are historically expensive to implement, update and maintain. Cloud economics changes that by shifting from individual budgets to cost-sharing models enabled by private, multi-tenant, and in some cases, public clouds.
