Predictions about the Cloud Computing Market for 2022
Rapid digitalization and significant overhauls of legacy IT infrastructures have defined 2021. Cloud Computing emerged as the most suitable technology platform in terms of capability and cost to pursue business agility and flexibility.
When it comes to the overall appeal of Cloud Computing solutions, it shows no signs of slowing down. However, in 2022, enterprises’ interactions with Cloud Service Providers (CSP) and Cloud Computing solutions will be very different.
In this post, we will look at some of the major predictions for the Cloud Computing market in 2022. These trends or forecasts result from a collaboration between Gartner’s Strategic Technology Trends for 2022 and Forrester’s research.
The Phasing Out of Lift and Shift Approaches
Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic, most businesses have taken a “lift and shift” approach to Cloud Computing. This strategy was chosen primarily to allow employees to work remotely for an extended period.
However, by 2022, we foresee a gradual but unmistakable shift away from the lift-and-shift technique and toward a full-fledged cloud-native approach. Instead of developing apps and processes for the Cloud, this strategy to cloud adoption will focus on developing apps and procedures in the Cloud.
Rise of Industry and Niche-Specific Cloud Solutions
Leading Cloud Service Providers (CSP) have been busy just meeting the soaring demand for cloud solutions in the year 2021. There was little to no time to develop industry-specific cloud solutions in this situation.
However, as we approach the year 2022, this attitude will alter. Leading cloud service providers, such as Synccore cloud, are expected to use their knowledge and years of industry experience to develop industry- or niche-specific cloud solutions.
Cloud providers’ ability to create customized cloud-based solutions synced with the granular needs of a particular industry or specialty will provide them with a competitive advantage over other CSPs in that space.
Geopolitical Tensions will Influence Cloud Provider’s Selection
The current trade disputes between two economic behemoths, the United States and China, are escalating into a full-fledged technology-fueled competition. Unfortunately, this standoff is likely to impact the Cloud Computing area directly.
In 2022, we predict a certain level of “cloud nationalism” will arise, mainly involving pressure on big technological businesses to embrace cloud solutions from only CSPs that fit the geographical profile of both countries concerned.
However, the European region, which primarily consists of EU member states, will be shielded from any technological battle. Enterprises in this region will place a greater emphasis on data governance and compliance issues.
Conclusion
We predict data, cyber security, and regulatory compliance will be significant problems for organizations and Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) in 2022. Cloud strategies will increasingly be a critical component of company strategic decisions.
Cloud technologies have long been known for their flexibility and agility. These aspects of the Cloud will continue to be essential force multipliers for the various cloud service provider operators.
