In this part of our Forecasts, we consider the developing nature of the cloud, architecture, cost management and in fact lower infrastructure levels. Our analysts asked Dana Hernandez, Ivan McPhee, Jon Collins, Whit Walters and William Mcknight for their thoughts.
Jon: Not only with cloud computing, but also in technology presentation, we see that thinking around architecture is matured. Remember that what we know as a cloud is still 25% of the general area-the other three quarters are included in internal or private data centers. Everything should work together as a single conceptual platform, or at least the more we can do it, the more efficient we can.
Even though the keyword is ‘hybrid’, I hope to see decisions based on the accurate shift through hybrid environments, a hybrid shift through design – performance, cost, and indeed governance areas such as sovereignty. Cost management will continue to catalyze this trend, as shown by Finops.
Calf: Finops are developing, many companies move in -house or workloads back from the cloud. In Finopsx, companies were looking at the blended costs of the in -house and cloud. Oracle has now joined Big Three, Microsoft, Google and AWS, and it will be interesting to see who else to jump.
Jon: Another example is recycling that moves the workloads from the cloud and backward.
William: Yes, the return is accelerating, but cloud providers can probably respond until 2025 through more competitive pricing and technical developments that offer more flexibility and safety. We are still going to the cloud and the return can slow down for several years.
Whit: The seller’s response to the return was interesting. For example, Oracle Cloud infrastructure (OCI) and Oracle reduce competitors with pricing models, but there is skepticism – Clavens is concerned that Oracle can later increase costs through licensing problems.
Jon: Also, we see that historically pure game cloud providers are accepted by hybrid models, but they probably don’t even say it loudly. For example, AWS’s police stations can now work with local storage from Netapp, and probably such a partnership will accelerate. I think that “cloud ın should first be seen as an architectural structure that accepts that the provider – hosting companies can do a better flexibility. Organizations need to put the architecture in the first place.
IVAN: We will also see more cloud domestic vehicles to manage these workloads. For example, on the SASE/SSE side, companies like Cato Networks are successful because people do not want to install physical devices over the network. In addition, we see in NDR with companies such as Technologies, where security solutions are natural, not in -house.
Cloud natural solutions such as Cato Networks and Lumu Technologies have more pricing flexibility than those connected to the hardware components. They will be better positioned than traditional in -house solutions to adjust pricing to adopt and increase growth. Some sellers are investigating value -based pricing, considering factors such as customer business value to enter strategic accounts. This can be an exciting change as it goes into the future.
