It is been said that by the Year 2011 there will be a huge growth in the technology industry. What do you think about cloud computing industry, will there be any hike in the cloud industry as well?

According to the survey done by IDC - a premier global provider of market intelligence, by the year 2011 along with the technology industry, a growth will be seen in the cloud industry as well. According to them, currently cloud represents about 15% of the total and among the services of information technologies, the cloud computing is one that will grow five times higher over the years than the rest of the industries.

That's true, most of the businesses like large e-commerce stores are now moving towards cloud hosting. With cloud anyone can possibly boost their economic growth by reducing costs and environmental protection by reducing energy consumption. Just as an example, choosing a cloud hosting server, instead of managing a server at your enterprise, you save lot of energy, space and may invest it in increasing your man power.

Today, cloud computing is considered in the eight most happening and growing technologies. It is a business model where the clients has rights to various kinds of services, applications and solutions which are guaranteed by the provider. The core idea behind this is to permit them to have access to their own data or data of the company they are working remotely.

Also, as a fact that, unlike the dedicated web servers, cloud computing trim down the power consumption of data center, because the cloud servers absorb less space and hence doesn't need much power and cooling. Due to these facts, I think by the year 2016, almost 80-90 percent companies will be using cloud technologies. Though it is trend, but most of the people don't know how to utilize it and reach at higher level in industry.

Cloud Computing definitely holds a huge scope for growth in the days to come. The greatest advantage IMO is that the customers would only pay for what they'd use. Apart from that, users aren't restricted to limited resources due to cloud's scalability feature.

Cloud gaming is another area that holds tremendous potential of growth. There is a lot that can be expected in this area.

Cloud hosting definitely has a huge potential in days to come and I think focus will be to reduce the overall cost of the Cloud hosting plans so that more and more customers look forward to it for their hosting requirements. Also, it would be interesting to see if there are some changes bought to the technology for further improvement.
