As businesses continue to modernize and digitize their offerings, more companies are turning toward cloud systems to handle their software and data needs. By following the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, companies are seeing faster innovations, enabled by deeper analytics, while reducing the amount of space that is required by traditional data centers. Read on as we discuss the impact of cloud systems and how SaaS offerings are changing traditional data centers.
Everyone knows that digitization is the future of business. From eCommerce websites to healthcare facilities, more businesses are moving toward cloud integration and following the SaaS business model. According to cloudcomputing-news.net, the cloud computing industry is expected to grow by nearly 19 percent by 2020, which far outpaces the rest of the software development industry. This is due to the fact that most IoT integrated companies will utilize similar infrastructure requirements for their data storage.
SaaS platforms are based upon user experience and functionality. With the ability to incorporate real-time analytics, businesses can uniquely customize the site experience for each user. Modern SaaS platforms also allow for efficient scalability. An article from BizTech Magazine projects that 94 percent of all small businesses will use some form of cloud and SaaS applications by the end of 2017, which further demonstrates the need for a platform to scale with the growth of a company.
The same article from cloudcomputing-news.net outlines the new demands that the transition to cloud computing places on data centers and the benefits each technology brings to businesses that have adopted SaaS models.
Solid-State Storage
Enterprise storage platforms are quickly changing over from traditional hard-drive technologies. Software that features the latest solid-state products and incorporates data reduction technologies help companies to prepare their data centers for the future and at a comparable cost to traditional storage methods.
Software-Defined Data Centres
Defined data centers allow companies to be flexible with how they manage their storage systems, but don’t come at the cost of more customized hardware solutions. Software-defined solutions have the ability to easily adapt to new innovations technologies as it’s much more difficult to convert hardware solutions as time goes on.
Convergence
When businesses can link their server resources to a shared storage platform, the flexibility and performance of these systems is greatly enhanced.
New Database Paradigms
As server and storage programs update and refine, database and application development principles will be modified to utilize the features of these new programs. Traditional technologies will be replaced with new programs that allow companies to receive real-time analytics and other features that will greatly enhance the user experience.
In a world where data aggregation and utilization is paramount, the utilization of modern data center technologies is absolutely necessary.
