As
Cloud Market researchers, one must think about the cloud as a
holistic platform for creating new services, new experiences, and new
methods to pursue research. Cloud computing is becoming the most
important platform for research. Researchers today need vast
computing resources to collect, share, manipulate, and explore
massive data sets as well as to build and deploy new services for
research.
Wiki
defined “Cloud
computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a
product, whereby shared resources, software, and information are
provided to computers and other devices as a metered service over a
network (typically the Internet).”
Cloud
researchers mainly concentrate on cloud transition rate, Mainly
on-premises to cloud, and the factors influences the transition.
As
many analysts said, the transition majorly depends on areas like
(1)
Cost
(2)
Complexity (Not being able to Manage the Systems/Applications
in-house)
(3)
Compliance/Security (Information Security)
The
functionality of cloud computing company aided analyst touch the ares
like- identifying the technical capabilities of product/service,
evaluating the feasibility for cloud transition (SaaS/web based),
defining the market scope, predicting the emerging areas, where
particular products helps companies for easy transition,
understanding the cost effectiveness, and the data security
assurance.
