A popular buzz word at the moment, Big
Data is set to transform the way cloud
computing will work in the future. With the
big names in cloud computing all vying to support bigger and
better Big Data, it’s obvious that being able to analyse huge
volumes of data will be second nature in the next five years.
How this will trickle down to the consumer level isn’t clear at
present but the pundits have their bets on almost unlimited
storage available for personal cloud use.
BIG DATALooking through a mid-sized
datacentre is something you don’t
forget in a hurry, just imagine what
it will be like looking through the datacentre of the future.
These impressive structures, with their labyrinthine corridors of
monolithic servers will dominate the cloud future. It’s already
been stressed that although power hungry, a datacentre using
carbon neutral energy sources is far more ecological and
economical than a city full of server rooms in every company. DATACENTRESOff the back of
the Big Data
surge comes
ever impressive leaps in Artificial Intelligence and Machine
Learning. Preparing hundreds of terabytes of Big Data for
analysis takes up considerable time for those involved, so
having a powerful computer do the preparation for you will
certainly make sifting through that data easier. Of course
Machine Learning can be expanded on that, helping to
create the cloud-based apps of the future that the consumer
will access via their mobile devices. Despite the Hollywood
negativity of AI, it’s the future of cloud computing. AI AND MACHINE LEARNINGAlthough still quite
exotic in nature,
quantum computing
is quickly becoming a real thing. Even now, you can access
quantum processors and experiment with their built-in semi-
mythical tunnelling, entanglement and Q-Bit architectures. As
the future will no doubt tell, quantum computing will improve
and finally leave behind traditional computing models. When
this happens, expect to see a new generation of AI evolution
and near instantaneous accessing of cloud data. QUANTUM COMPUTINGWhere Next for the Cloud?
