As companies begin embracing cloud computing, new hardware and software resources to accommodate this new trend are needed. This means that there must be a massive paradigm shift in the way different IT resources are created, delivered to the customer, and consumed altogether. These technologies serve as a foundation of growth and innovation in the world’s IT landscape. Despite being here for decades now, cloud computing as a solution is still confusing many companies mainly due to new terms and the requirements that are necessary to implement. The same can be said about companies that offer cloud-related services. They are confused as well on the software solutions that are going to thrive in the market in the coming days and how they should plan for the changes.
