Cloud computing: an opportunity for network operators

The enthusiasm around cloud computing could be interesting business opportunities for wireless service providers with access to a market where the consumer and enterprise spending is expected to increase fivefold over the next five years and exceed $ 100 billion during 2015.

And 'the market analysis firm IHS to outline the framework , whereby the consumer and enterprise spending directed to the public cloud should grow to 110 billion in 2015, compared with $ 23 billion in 2010 and 35 billion dollars of for the current year.

Jagdish Rebello, principal analyst for consumer electronics and communications of the IHS, said: "Cloud computing, while still presenting a problem of compliance and security, really change the cards on the table and represents a paradigm shift from whatever perspective you look at it. Imagine for a moment not to worry about in advance of those things as shopping for software, storage capacity, licensing applications, and instead worry about paying only what you use and update in a dynamic way that we use according to our needs. "

The prospects of cloud computing enterprise seem particularly interesting area for wireless service providers and mobile network operators. This fact of reality that has well-recognized brands and are already operating in the enterprise space by providing support for telephone and network connectivity. These realities could add to their current SERVING also offer web-based applications and services, virtual storage, thus extending the portfolio of products and services going to compete with traditional providers of IT services.

Network operators also have numerous in-depth information about consumer preferences and are therefore in a position to make customized packages of services adding value to the service as a whole. And always the same operators have already used the customer (and have the necessary platforms) to a billing consumption, which is well suited to business models based on cloud computing.

Cloud computing continues to exert a certain fascination for the enterprise, because it represents an interesting way to control costs. In the event that you were a business contract, it must have something to do with the maintenance costs for infrastructure and, conversely, when a business undergoes an expansion you just have to buy additional services that you needs. Clearly, cloud computing is not free of risks, primarily on issues related to data security, privacy and information retrieval, secondly, the legal gaps related to its management: it is for this reason that a company should always evaluate carefully the appropriate balance between the pros and cons in the choice of cloud services.
