Gartner analyst reveals what you don’t know about cloud
Companies are steadily shifting from legacy infrastructure to cloud computing. And why not? Cloud resources are more agile and elastic, and businesses can pay for what they use and no more. These are the cloud-computing knowns.
However, there are a number of unknown, or little-known, facts that companies should be paying more attention to, according to John-David Lovelock (pictured), chief forecaster at Gartner Inc.
“Cloud in all of its forms is the fastest-growing tech that Gartner is tracking,” Lovelock said. “Nothing else comes close. The overall growth rate for total IT spend this year is 1.1%. Cloud is at 25%. It is moving the market.”
Lovelock spoke with Dave Vellante, host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, during the AWS Summit in London. They discussed the state of cloud adoption and the exciting, uncertain road ahead (see the full interview with transcript here). (* Disclosure below.)
Wait, what? Your business already has cloud developers?
It’s important to note that the cloud revolution has really just begin, according to Lovelock. “There is still a great deal of money being spent on servers and infrastructure and networking equipment. And all of that gets bled out into the cloud eventually,” he said.
There will be much more migration to cloud in coming years. And it’s not certain what the cloud of two or five or 10 years from now will look like, Lovelock explained. “We are nowhere near saturated for cloud changes,” he said.
Another trend Lovelock is seeing: The cloud skills gap keeps many chief information officers up at night. A little-appreciated fact is that companies don’t necessarily need newly minted cloud developers to fill the gap, Lovelock pointed out.
“Many companies are missing the fact that some of their COBOL [Common Business Oriented Language] programmers are the ones that should be developing their new cloud applications,” Lovelock said. That’s because the goal of cloud computing really ties back to the business and changing business models for the better.
“Nobody knows their business better than the guys that have been writing the legacy apps, that have been running the business for the last 20 years,” Lovelock said. “So, the training opportunity is actually with their COBOL programmers, with their long-term programmers. And we’re not seeing that get into the market as much as we’d like.”
