Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage and computing power, without direct active management by the user.
There are significant benefits an organization can experience from moving many of their operations to the cloud from cut costs to avoiding the loss of data. Despite the increasing number of organizations looking to adopt cloud computing into their business operations and what can be accomplished, only a handful of companies have adopted the technology even after over a decade’s existence. With time, this is something that we aim to gradually rectify.
The Cloud is largely dominated by Amazon, Microsoft, and Google at the time of writing with Alibaba still far off but looking to make gains in the near future. That being said, even tech giants like Oracle and IBM have mostly fallen by the wayside compared to their purported contemporaries in the race to produce cloud solutions. Not that these options will outright harm an organization’s ability in the cloud, but there are some risk factors that are worth considering.
Microsoft and Google may be some of the biggest names struggling to overtake Amazon’s dominance of the cloud service market, but they aren’t the only names. Since 2009, Alibaba has had its own cloud computing platform with ventures into ecommerce data mining and processing and currently stands as the fifth largest company in artificial intelligence development. For now, we’ll be comparing Alibaba with some of its more immediate competition to put things into proper perspective.
