6. ■ Application frameworks will have a significant role in the growth and evolution of cloud computing. ■ The second or middle (application logic) tier and the third tier (storage) will more often run in the cloud. ■ Rapid evolution will occur for different storage mechanisms, particularly for unstructured data and database scaling strategies such as sharding. ■ Security services will include more and stronger options to protect sensitive data. ■ Over the next decade, companies with valuable data repositories will offer higher-level services hosted on existing clouds, each with a unique API. ■ Adoption and growth of mashups will fuel the further growth of the cloud. ■ What most call PaaS (for example, Google’s App Engine) and its natural extension—Framework as a Service—will become the predominant way applica- tions are constructed in 10 years. ■ More powerful development tools will quickly evolve to make it easy to build mashups. ■ Developers outside the U.S. and Europe will leapfrog the West because they’re not encumbered by legacy IT infrastructure. ■ The cost of creating an application will become so low that it will cease to be a barrier.

7. Main Principles

7.1. Pooled Resources - available to any subscribing user

7.2. Virtualization

11.4. 10 Predictions

11.4.1. ■ The cloud will be cheaper, more reliable, more secure, and easier to use. ■ The cloud will become a real engine of growth for early adopter companies. ■ Cloud providers’ costs will be less than 25% of what corporate data centers cost. ■ Cloud mega-data centers will contain 500,000 servers costing $1B by 2020. ■ The best cloud provider operator’s ratio of administrators to servers will go from 1:1,000 servers to 1:10,000 servers by 2020. ■ Open source will dominate the future of the cloud. ■ Pragmatic standards come from market leaders; Amazon’s API will lead the way. ■ An ultimate ISO cloud standard will emerge. ■ Government will lead enterprises in cloud adoption. ■ SaaS will grow and stay current by using the basic web standards that will them- selves continue to advance.
