3 Things That Could Halt The Growth Of Cloud Computing

In fact, it is expected to grow by leaps and bounds: a recent Morgan Stanley report states AWS revenue is expected to hit $24 billion by 2023.

Issues will come up, just like anything else in the tech world, that will not only slow the growth of this infrastructure, but halt it dead in its tracks if these issues aren’t addressed. Here are three issues that could hinder the success of cloud computing, in order to lessen their chances of occurring.

1.False Advertisement
Some cloud hosting vendors are hoping you have no idea what the cloud is all about. In this way, they are able to sell you on their definition of the cloud and how their solution is going to be perfect for your company, without once asking about the applications you rely on. If those who know nothing of the cloud believe these fantasies and sign up for cloud hosting services, there is bound to be an issue that results in failure somewhere along the line. This failure will then be blamed on the cloud, when instead it was nothing more than a compatibility issue easily resolved by having a firmer understanding of the cloud and all of the options available…

2.Lack Of Knowledge
The previous problem leads to this problem, which is unfortunately quite common. The powers that be select a board member (who happens to lack any sort of tech knowledge) to choose a cloud hosting solution. But how will this poorly informed decision benefit the company? It won’t. Prior to choosing a cloud solution, you need to look at your needs in depth. What applications does your company use? what does your current infrastructure look like?…
