The ERP giants like SAP and Oracle have their roots in the garden for a really long time that it will take at least two years for any new competitor to give them a dent. Also, let’s not forget that the technology is flying at a rapid rate, so two years is really long time for a technology to go outdated. Recently, it has been noticed that these giants are trying to move their on-premises systems to cloud based systems. This is not an easy task to move tons of data without much affecting the pricing and retaining the customers. 

Cloud services have grown to become an evident part in providing online services and data storage over the past few years. But there are still some strategies that would define or make a better cloud service.

The very first could be the co-located cloud service which would prove a higher speed of access Another important aspect would be easily cost figuring with better management and storage computation and services. Usage of hyper converged infrastructure (HCI) solutions offer pre-integrated compute, storage and networking resources to the private cloud.  And lastly getting the old apps by lift-and-shift method could provide an advantage to the company, although that would be in exchange of a good amount of migration cost.

Nowadays, we hear about data science technologies like machine learning and data modelling. But, now new cloud services for machine learning is gaining importance and more do-it-yourself (DIY) tools will emerge for sectors like financial services, healthcare or retail, predictive sales or marketing.

The cloud services leader Amazon Web Services (AWS) has been challenged by the big daddy Google by announcing new storage partnerships with a number of companies for data backup (Veritas Technologies Corp./Symantec Corp.), on-premises appliances for data de-duplication (NetApp), encryption and compression (Iron Mountain Inc.), and offline disk storage and Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) solutions (Geminare Inc.). Google offers an Online Cloud Import service that can be used to migrate petabyte-scale data from other online storage services to Google Cloud Storage, the company said in a white paper about Nearline Storage.Nearline will enable users to easily back up and store limitless amounts of data at a very low cost and access it at any time in a matter of seconds, which has been positioned against the Amazon Glacier storage service.

In an article written by Daniel Price, author at cloudtweaks.com,we come to know about different arguments in favour of making cloud services successful in Europe.Cloud computing is a key propeller of economic growth, productivity and job creation in Europe.Europe already trails North Amercia in comparison to adaptability to cloud services. Few of the main reason why cloud services are still lagging in Europe are cautious approach of europeans towards long-term service contracts, costly capital outlays and expensive software licensing fees. In this blog the author points out to basic few things that we have to do to enable cloud services get a better footing in Europe.
