When asked what invention will be as revolutionary in the 2020s as smartphones were in the 2010s, Bank of America strategist Haim Isreal said, without hesitation, quantum computing.

At the banks annual year ahead event last week in New York, Israel qualified his prediction, arguing in an interview with MarketWatch that the timing of the smartphones arrival on the scene in the mid-2000s, and its massive impact on the American business landscape in the 2010s, doesnt line up neatly with quantum-computing breakthroughs, which are only now being seen, just a few weeks before the start of the 2020s.

The iPhone already debuted in 2007, enabling its real impact to be felt in the 2010s, he said, while the first business applications for quantum computing won't be seen till toward the end of the coming decade.

But, Israel argued, when all is said and done, quantum computing could be an even more radical technology in terms of its impact on businesses than the smartphone has been. This is going to be a revolution, he said.

Quantum computing is a nascent technology based on quantum theory in physics which explains the behavior of particles at the subatomic level, and states that until observed these particles can exist in different places at the same time. While normal computers store information in ones and zeros, quantum computers are not limited by the binary nature of current data processing and so can provide exponentially more computing power.

Quantum things can be in multiple places at the same time, said Chris Monroe, a University of Maryland physicist and founder of IonQ told the Associated Press . The rules are very simple, theyre just confounding.

In October, Alphabet Inc. GOOG, -0.18% subsidiary Google claimed to have achieved a breakthrough by using a quantum computer to complete a calculation in 200 seconds on a 53-qubit quantum computing chip, a task it calculated would take the fastest current super-computer 10,000 years. Earlier this month, Amazon.com Inc. AMZN, +0.03% announced its intention to collaborate with experts to develop quantum computing technologies that can be used in conjunction with its cloud computing services. International Business Machines Corp. IBM, -0.82% and Microsoft Corp. MSFT, +0.84% are also developing quantum computing technology.

Israel argued these tools will revolutionize several industries, including health care, the internet of things and cyber security. He said that pharmaceutical companies are most likely to be the first commercial users of these devices, given the explosion of data created by health care research.

Pharma companies are right now subject to Moores law in reverse, he said. They are seeing the cost of drug development doubling every nine years, as the amount of data on the human body becomes ever more onerous to process. Data on genomics doubles every 50 days, he added, arguing that only quantum computers will be able to solve the pharmaceutical industrys big-data problem.

Quantum computing will also have a major impact on cybersecurity, an issue that effects nearly every major corporation today. Currently cyber security relies on cryptographic algorithms, but quantum computings ability to solve these equations in the fraction of the time a normal computer does will render current cyber security methods obsolete.

In the future, even robust cryptographic algorithms will be substantially weakened by quantum computing, while others will no longer be secure at all, according to Swaroop Sham, senior product marketing manager at Okta.

For investors, Israel said, it is key to realize that the first one or two companies to develop commercially applicable quantum-computing will be richly rewarded with access to untold amounts of data and that will only make their software services more valuable to potential customers in a virtuous circle.

What weve learned this decade is that whoever controls the data will win big time, he said.

The cloud computing business is growing bigger every day. Between now and 2023, the global cloud computing market size is poised to grow by US$190.32 billion, progressing at a CAGR of over 16 percent.

Attitudes of business owners have certainly changed in the last few years. Where before they would have been sceptical to adopt internet cloud computing, today they cant wait to add more. While Amazon Web Services was the pioneer in this field, Microsoft is catching up as a strong second contender, with its Microsoft Azure unit which supplies cloud-based computer processing and storage growing by 63 percent from a year before in the most recent quarter.

What all this translates to is a wealth of new opportunities emerging for computing professionals today. At Tampere University, a whole department specialises in training computing professionals to take advantage of these opportunities.

The Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences at Finlands second largest university offers a unique and wide range of expertise through research and teaching. From the natural sciences and engineering to event theatre and drama, this is a Faculty that boldly pushes the boundaries of multidisciplinary research and teaching across organisational boundaries. Its also Finnish youths second most popular choice for a university degree out of 25 universities of applied sciences and 13 Finnish universities. In a recent survey, Tampere University was rated among the top three of universities in five categories and topped the categories for attractiveness of fields of study and city attractiveness.

Tampere University

At the core of its vision is the aim to provide the knowledge and solutions to the complex challenges of our global, digital and multicultural society. Their new Master of Science in Software, Web and Cloud and Master of Science Technology in Software, Web and Cloud are two postgraduate offerings from this respected institution that realise this vision and more. The detailed course description will be updated and available on the university curriculum page in March 2020, and the courses will start in August 2020.

With a curriculum that provides a solid foundation in computer science and software engineering, Tampere Universitys goal is for each student to expand their knowledge and skills in the development of high-quality software. Through in-depth studies and skill development, students gain a good understanding of software engineering, the ability to design and implement large software systems, the ability to manage and improve software development processes as well as the competence and ability to understand, design and implement web- and cloud-based systems.

The official language of the programme is English, meaning all courses, exams and student services are offered in English. Applicants can apply to take a Master of Science degree or a Master of Science (Tech) degree in Software, Web and Cloud, but applicants should note that the eligibility criteria of these two tracks are different. For the Masters programme in Computing Sciences, Software, Web and Cloud (MSc Tech) track, your previous degree must be in one of the following (or related) fields: computing, computer science, software engineering, information technology or other closely related field with proficiency in mathematics, programming, data structures, databases and physics.

An industrial perspective in one of the worlds most respected education systems

Located in the Tampere region, these are Master degrees that greatly benefit from industry perspectives thanks to the high concentration of IT companies located here. This means students will be able to leverage on one of the universitys biggest strengths: the ability to apply and test learning in real life situations, whether its in cities, companies or societal services.

For Software, Web and Cloud MSc students, this doesnt just manifest in one final semester capstone project. Instead, the curriculum is designed with real-world problems intentionally incorporated, exploring subjects such as requirements management, software modelling and specification, implementation and testing software, software project management, and the web and cloud. Students can mix and match a variety of minor subject studies according to their unique interests from the wide offering of complementary studies this programme offers, such as Data Structures, Database Programming, Innovative Project and Functional Programming.

There is an option to undertake an internship where students apply their knowledge of computer science to practice, expanding their knowledge according to their workplace requirements. Upon completion, theyll be able to report on their tasks and assess their progress.Add to that the research activities and close collaboration between the university and local industry, and youve got a Masters of high academic quality and real-world relevance to industrial positions.

Tampere University

This bodes well for Tampere graduates entering the global job market today. The US only had 63,744 computer science students join the workforce in 2018, despite more than 500,000 open computing vacancies available nationwide. In Australia, less than 5,000 ICT students graduate annually comprising only one third of creative arts graduates yet demand for the broader group of ICT workers in the county projects the current 660,000 will increase to 750,000 by 2023.

Finland is also struggling with a lack of software professionals. By 2020, the Finnish Information Processing Association estimates the country will be short of up to 15,000 IT experts. With its current undersupply of qualified IT professionals, employers are racing to hire IT talent, offering improved workplaces and focusing on job satisfaction. Almost 90 percent of students pursuing software-related majors at Tampere University are employed on the day they graduate.

This demand for computing talent in software and cloud is unlikely to slow down anytime soon. As internet access broadens and increases, every aspect of modern life will increasingly include computing systems. From retail to agriculture to security, industries are expanding their adoption of technologies like the Internet of Things, big data analytics, artificial intelligence, cloud technology and more. There is an urgent need for companies to invest in more skilled talent in order to capitalise of the new opportunities these technologies will bring.

Tampere University is ready to fill these roles in the continuing digital revolution. With its robust training and industrial awareness, students stand to realise their potential as versatile software professionals, finding employment in commercial and administrative fields, or furthering their studies on the doctoral level. Graduates typically start working as a programmer and then advance towards the expert and/or managerial positions.

How to become a computing expert in software, web and cloud - Study International News

Data is the new oil may have outlasted its usefulness as a metaphor, but one aspect still rings true: Both industries have a serious environmental footprint. According to the Department of Energy, data centers account for about 2 percent of all electricity use in the US.

That means the cloudwhich powers every Netflix binge, PUBG match, and emailhas a lining made not of silver, but of carbon. For individuals, the bits in question dont amount to much. The digital footprints of businesses, however, can be large enough to ding the environment. For them, finding the greenest way to store their data would help cut down on their emissions. But how does a high-minded plutocrat go about that? The answers are not always obvious.

The top three cloud providersAmazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azureaccount for approximately two-thirds of all rentable computing services, so WIRED has compiled a guide to help you understand how they decarbonize your data.

What Makes a Cloud Green?

Some companies still store their data in blinking black boxes in a hallway closet. Others have such massive computing needs that theyve built their own data centers. For everyone in between, there are basically three options: pay either Amazon, Microsoft, or Google for the privilege of stuffing your data into one of their mind-boggingly large hyperscale server farms.

To assess the relative greenness of different clouds, Jonathan Koomey, an expert on the topic, highlights three metrics: The efficiency of a data center's infrastructure (lights, cooling, and so on), the efficiency of its servers, and the source of its electricity.

Each of the Big Three cloud providers has ironed out inefficiencies in the hardware and software running in their data centers. They run virtual machines on their servers to limit downtime, install custom cooling systems, automate wherever possible, and so on. This ruthless pursuit of efficiency has helped the data center industry keep its energy needs fairly constant over the past decade. It also means that when companies move their data from in-house servers to the cloud, they will almost certainly end up reducing their energy consumption.

It wont stay that way forever, warns Dale Sartor, a staff scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory who studies energy efficiency. Someday well hit a tipping point, when most organizations have already moved their data centers offsite. Then the energy demands of the cloud will start to rise. I dont think anybody envisions a reduction in the growth of our appetite for computation, Sartor says. So the chances were going to see an explosion in energy use sometime in the next couple of decades is pretty high.

Thats why a critical measure of a data centers greenness is the source of its energy. The Big Three have all pledged to completely decarbonize their data centers, but none has entirely ditched fossil fuels yet.

To clean up their carbon footprints, these companies lean heavily on a tool known as a renewable energy credit, which is basically a token representing a utilitys green energy generation. RECs are how companies like Google and Microsoft can claim their data centers are powered 100 percent by renewables while still being connected to grids that use fossil fuels. In reality, only a fraction of each companys energy comes directly from solar or wind installations; the rest comes from RECs.

Calculating the greenness of a cloud is rife with nuanced distinctions. In the report card below, weve highlighted some of the most important factors to consider if youre looking to decarbonize your data.

Google Cloud

What they say:

Of the Big Three, Google has the smallest share of the market, but it has arguably done the most to decarbonize its data. In 2017, the company announced it achieved 100 percent renewable energy across all of its operations, including its data centers. It claims that all data processed by Google Cloud has zero net carbon emissions.

Cloud Computing in Healthcare Market 2019 Size, Share, Technological Innovations & Growth Forecast To 2025 - The Raleigh Recorder

Hybrid cloud is a cloud computing environment that uses a mix of on-premises, private cloud, and third-party, public cloud services with orchestration between the two platforms. It allows enterprises to manage their cloud transition dynamically, selecting acceptable levels of downtime and overcoming the constraints of legacy systems and silos. It can help address the barriers that determine the difference between successful and unsuccessful cloud deployments.

According to a study by the IBM Institute of Business Value (IBV) on the Hybrid Cloud market in India, suggests that almost 60% of the Indian organizations surveyed plan to have all their data on the cloud within the next decade. Among them, 99% have the possibility of using multiple hybrid clouds within the next three years.

Moreover, practically half of the respondents surveyed accept that- over 80 percent of the organizations will receive a cloud-first-strategy as more than 80 percent of new applications will be built on the cloud. Accordingly, more than 80 percent of those applications will be created using containers Hybrid cloud.

In other words, Hybrid Cloud is all set to emerge as the cutting-edge cloud technology for the next-generation business worldwide.

Vikas Arora, Vice President, Cloud & Cognitive Software & Services, IBM India/South Asia, said,We foresee Indian organizations to witness extensive adoption of cloud technologies in the next few years, with a majority of them using Hybrid Cloud within three years itself. If the next phase of cloud benefits is to be realized, a Hybrid cloud strategy is needed.

We believe Hybrid Cloud adoption, containerization of applications, Multi-Cloud management, and modernizing the Information Architecture to create self-service data platforms will be the key trends for 2020. IBMs Cloud strategy is in-line with the industry trend, and with our enterprise expertise and ability to run large, complex systems for our clients positions us to lead the way as the # 1 hybrid cloud provider by 2020.

Hybrid cloud allows organizations to innovate with scale and agility, improving responsiveness and constraining cost, despite growing complexity. Although, despite most associations, the main Chapter of Cloud saw just 20 percent of workloads moving to public cloudand these are not yet organizations core mission-critical workloads.

But the real enterprise value lies in the remaining 80%. The industry is now at an inflection point.

The study pointed, New levels of data portability and interoperability offered by the hybrid cloud will help companies realize the virtue of write once, run anywhere.

Focusing on the adoption mechanism to the Hybrid cloud, the study pointed out four r key steps to get started with Hybrid cloud:
