With a 2018 Gartner study predicting a more than doubling of cloud use by 2021, some 90 percent of organizations are expected to be employing cloud strategies by the following year. One major enabler of this shift is the hybrid cloud, which can use a diversity of public and private clouds and thus offers scalable, highly targeted options such as pay-per-use, on-demand, and Software-as-a-Service. In parallel with this is the concept of multi-cloud, which employs multiple data-storage and cloud-computing systems within a unified IT architecture.
Another trend on the horizon is serverless computing, which does not do away, as its name suggests, with the server as a processing operation foundation. The innovation is rather that server management, provisioning, and scalability are automatically administered, regardless of the underlying infrastructure for running applications. Amazon has had a pioneering serverless model in AWS Lambda. IBM, Google, and Microsoft now have their own offerings in this rapidly growing segment that now makes up nearly a quarter of corporate cloud usage.
