How Would We Define Cloud? What Exactly Is A Cloud? What Do We Get Out Of The Cloud?

You must have heard about the terms like “Moved In Cloud” but what do you understand by cloud and how does it works? A cloud is a data center in which the companies can save their stuff which can be accessed anywhere conveniently. The data is only accessed by the company or the group of people who are authorized to access it. Apart from the authorized people, no other person can access or move inside the cloud.

The cloud trend is on high now as people have shifted to work from home. Cloud is coming in handy in accessing the data from anywhere to anywhere. In the last year, we have seen a dramatic digital transformation of the cloud. Let’s have a look at them.

The Adoption Of Remote Work

Since the pandemic has started, people are forced to work for their safety reasons and some of the work from home positions has proved to be effective as people have seen the boost in the enthusiasm of some organizations. Employees work from the comfort of their home and the flexibility to work follows. It has also been seen that since the traveling hours are removed, the employees are giving more time than the usual 8 hours saving the cost of electricity, extra chai, staff boy and a lot more.

According to the survey, in the summer of 2020, almost 50% of employees were working from home and the number will grow 14% more. Now as things seem to fall back and the reopening is soon going to happen, people will get back to offices for work but not all. More than 60% of companies are not willing to pull back the work from home arrangement but are willing to put 60% of employees in permanent work from home arrangement.

Challenges Faced In Work From Home

The foremost challenge is to manage the distributed work environment and the second is the handling of the remote access of the corporate system. Other challenges like the collation numbers in the conference and the tools that are being used and if they are able to hold many numbers.

The complexities evolve rapidly for both managing and being a remote worker. The cloud structure is constantly revisited by IT and business leaders for more flexibility, access and to move the business continuity flow.

Business Collaborations With Cloud Services

The relationship between the cloud services and the client is shifting but the cloud services are maintaining their market against the pandemic surge. The organizations are willing to work with the cloud services providers so they can inculcate in the present and in the future also. The transformation is increasing digitally and the reliability of the cloud services is giving chance to a new level of collaboration with the businesses.

The cloud providers are being asked to build a cloud foundation and pipelines that revolves around data migration and learning on the job. As the project evolves and the skills are built, the dependencies and the associated costs would be reduced.

Data Governance And Cloud Security

This is the most crucial part for the organizations as more ransomware attacks are seen as the hackers found the opportunity of the employees not being in the office. The leaks have increased since 2020 and don’t seem to slow down. 75% of the organizations have agreed that their first priority is cloud security and data governance.

Top headlines nowadays are all about the data breaches because of which the organizations are questionable about their security protocols and tools. A proactive AI cloud security will help in faster responses and higher visibility in recovery and prevention. It goes hand in hand, the tools are becoming better, so are the data threats.  

These were some of the latest cloud trends that are being followed in 2021 too. Do you want cloud security and don’t want your data to be in the hands of cybercriminals? Then contact Zindagi Technologies for cloud security options and perspectives or call us on +919773973971.
