As the world spins towards 2022, it is clear that the new year will see the reliance on cloud technologies become more vital than ever before.
Cloud computing has dramatically changed the world in the last decade and has seen a dizzying period of growth. We have also witnessed data centre’s transformation towards private cloud and the rise of cloud-native.
Advances with the cloud and its offerings will significantly impact how the coming year takes shape. According to predictions from Gartner, global spending on cloud services is expected to reach over $482 billion in 2022, up from $313 billion in 2020. Cloud computing infrastructure is the backbone of the delivery pipeline of just about every digital service, from social media and streaming entertainment to connected cars and autonomous Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure.
OmniClouds has a simple mantra: “Don’t buy technology, use technology.” OmniClouds solves problems and creates value through its technology expertise. The company specialises in application modernisation and cloud engineering, which helps businesses and enterprises create meaningful change and drive innovation through cloud and technology services.
Shaista Shaw, Head of Global Marketing at OmniClouds highlighted how the cloud market is changing and why the company is ahead of the game. “Our momentum is strong as we enter the fiscal year 2022 with a strategy that’s more relevant to customers and partners than ever before, and a sharp focus on execution,” she said.
“During 2020 and 2021, cloud computing exploded as work went virtual and businesses adapted to the global pandemic by focusing on the delivery of digital services. In 2022, we will undoubtedly see a continuation of rapid adoption and growth. Augmenting the abilities of remote and hybridised workforces will remain a key trend but we will see ongoing innovation in cloud and data centre infrastructure too. Technologies like IaaS and PaaS and SaaS have now established themselves as the foundation of IT. Cloud and artificial intelligence are now deeply intertwined. Cloud computing will also continue to play a key role in the deliverance of AI services,” added Shaw.
SD-WAN solutions (software-defined WAN) are the latest highly efficient technology for enterprise networks. They provide significant cost savings with secure, flexible and fast business connectivity across the globe.
SD-WAN shows promise as a secure remote access solution when integrated with services like Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) or Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA). SASE backed up by an SD-WAN solution will likely replace an organisations MPLS backbone sooner or later.
“OmniClouds pioneered the SD-WAN market with a new approach designed to modernise branch networks for evolving cloud, IoT and mobility requirements. Integration of cloud-managed SD-WAN, wired and wireless networking solutions, secured with context-based policy enforcement, allows network operators to improve network availability and application performance, while reducing management time and costs–all from a single point of control,” explained Shaw.
According to Shaw, as the new central hub for the multi-load enterprise, SD-WAN’s centralised control provides IT professionals with flexible hybrid connectivity and bundled security features needed for cloud transformation. “However, we’re seeing SD-WAN move past the early years of connectivity, next-gen firewalls and secure internet breakouts. Now, it’s taking a deeper dive into cloud security and AI-based network automation. IDC analysts predict the SD-WAN market will grow 40.4% each year to at least 2022 when it will reach $4.5 billion,” she said.
OmniClouds cloud solutions provide an end-to-end approach, from envisioning and planning through cloud migration, implementations, and cloud consulting services. As a partner of major cloud vendors, OmniClouds is one of the leading cloud computing consulting companies that can ensure their partners and customers get the most out of their cloud environment. There is a notable increase in cloud strategy initiatives to align cloud adoption with defined business outcomes, including cost-savings, agility, innovation, and the strategic use of the cloud for IT modernisation and digital transformation.
It is definitely a company to watch out for in the year 2022!
