Microsoft’s CEO, Satya
Nadella’s “Cloud first, mobile first” strategy was supported last week when
Microsoft released a series of cloud based products.
"How can there be two
firsts?" said Microsoft Corporate VP Brad Anderson, who presided over the
keynote. "They're one and the same. You can't have a cloud without
connected devices and vice versa. [Otherwise,] all you have is potential that
goes untapped."
However, tapping the data is
not simple due to high security and management concerns involved. Apart from
these core issues, the device must also be connected to the cloud. Hence, to
address such issues, Microsoft has launched a series of products last week and
more would be launched later this year.
Microsoft, with the help of
Azure Express Route, would enable firms to connect their private asset to Azure.
Microsoft Azure Files that was announced as preview is designed to help users
share data and files securely with devices and clouds. Further, company’s zure API
Management would enable users to share APIs on cloud.
Microsoft Antimalware for
Azure would enable users to install anti-malware for virtual machines and cloud
services efficiently.
One very important segment
is of personal cloud computing. As the name suggest, personal cloud refers to
cloud network used for your personal files or your small business. Since this
network is small as compared to big cloud network of Google or Yahoo, it is
more secure. Personal cloud computing is becoming significant. A latestresearch by Allied Market Research on global personal cloud computing market
forecasts it to growth rapidly in future. The report provides in-depth analysis
of personal cloud computing market trend, growth rate, revenue and share.
