Cloud Technologies are Changing the IT Landscape

Top 5 Ways Cloud Technologies are Changing the IT Landscape



Building and maintaining a traditional IT environment is costly. Buying hardware and servers, installing software, implementing infrastructure change management, maintaining a proper security posture, providing robust development and test environments and responding to business demands quickly requires a dedicated and skilled IT staff. While this may be the commonplace model in many IT shops, cloud technologies are beginning to make serious inroads into changing the way fully internal IT shops operate. Here are the top five ways cloud technologies are changing the IT landscape.



1. IT Infrastructure
2. Job Skills

3. Platform as a Service (PaaS)
4. Data Management
5. Security

Conclusion
In today’s economic climate, companies need to do more with less while trying to maintain a competitive edge over other players in the market. One of the most effective ways to do that is to be agile, to be able to change direction and innovate quickly. By moving certain key infrastructure and development processes to the cloud, both business and IT agility can be effectively realized. But it takes a lot of up-front planning to ensure a successful migration to cloud technologies.
