Cloud computing is one of the biggest disruptive trends to have hit the technology space in the past decade, only poised to evolve in the future. The Cloud promises to deliver a range of benefits, including a shift from capital-intensive to operational cost models, lower overall cost, and greater agility. However, these prospective benefits need to be examined carefully against a number of challenges, such as security, lack of transparency, licensing constraints and integration needs. "Continual monitoring of Cloud computing trends, with regular updates to the enterprise's Cloud strategy, will be essential to avoid costly mistakes or miss market opportunities over the next few years," says a report by Gartner.

Despite its fair share of challenges, it cannot be denied that Cloud computing will continue to have a radical impact in business environments. Also Cloud computing resources are not only restricted to large enterprises but also easily accessible to Small and Midsize Businesses. This allows organizations of any size the ability to innovate at speed, public, private or hybrid, on premise or off. With one trillion connected systems providing data this year, Cloud will only help businesses leverage that massive amount of data as to create a competitive advantage.
