DATA CENTRE PREDICTIONS
more formalised as countries begin to rollout carbon taxes .
Whether it ’ s the carrot or the stick approach , the drive to net zero is clearly going to be a catalyst for more companies adopting cloud computing in 2023 .
3 . A big push on Machine Learning and AI
For me this is an obvious one . Firstly , there are excellent business reasons
THE DRIVE TO NET ZERO IS CLEARLY GOING TO BE A CATALYST FOR MORE COMPANIES ADOPTING CLOUD COMPUTING IN 2023 . for companies to adopt AI and Machine Learning ( ML ). Whether it is at the backend as they automate basic operation tasks , or frontend customer service where chatbots can augment offerings made by human beings , there are all sorts of ways that AI can transform businesses . Also , in an age where the mantra is very much around productivity and cutting costs , AI and ML can generate some big wins very quickly .
Interestingly too , we are only at the start of this journey .
4 . The growing importance of security
The whole tech industry is seemingly obsessed with security issues and it is not surprising given that the average cost of data breaches increased 2.6 % from US $ 4.24 million in 2021 to US $ 4.35 million in 2022 .
As companies use more cloudnative systems , the more they can delegate security .
I think 2023 will see a lot more executives asking their IT leaders about their security systems and is yet another reason why the cloud will appear as a sensible place to be .
5 . Multi-cloud and hybrid cloud are increasingly looking like smart options
I wonder if we will see more hybrid cloud systems emerge in companies in an organic way . That ’ s because as their on-site servers reach a redundancy point they aren ’ t replaced , but their jobs are undertaken by cloud providers .
Microsoft appears to be doing a great job of working with companies that have their own servers . You can install their software in your environment and then they manage so much for you . It can save a lot of time and money .
So 2023 looks like a momentous year for the cloud computing industry with new challenges , new opportunities and new innovations from the leading providers . �
