Where the Cloud Jobs are in 2015

For IT recruiters, and just about everyone who has been interested in tech, cloud is not a new phenomena. However, over the past 12-18 months, adoption of cloud is growing quickly and is now used in some shape or form by businesses of all sizes around the world.

Adoption: Compass Intelligence report that 78% of U.S. small businesses will have fully adopted cloud computing by 2020, more than doubling the current 37% as of today. In the EU, 19% of EU businesses used cloud computing in 2014 with the UK accounting for 24%, behind Ireland on 28%.

Job Growth: In the last quarter over 5,800 jobs in cloud computing have been listed by direct employers in the UK. IT takes high priority with Software, develops, Java developers and engineers featuring prominently. The prevalence of job roles for business development manager, project manager, sales executive and business analysts is an indication of the growing matureness of the cloud market. Certainly an insight into the future is illustrated by the demand for ICT Computing Teacher - showing just how important IT is to the UK economy as a whole.

A Brief Overview of Cloud

For more information get in touch on 020 7112 4949 or visit sonovate.com

In simple terms, cloud computing is the blanket phrase for a style of computing which is delivered as a service over the internet. Typically, cloud users rely on sharing a pool of physical and / or virtual resources, rather than having the hardware and software on-site. By removing the

need for a physical presence of certain IT hardware, a business can achieve several benefits including, flexibility, scalability and economies of scale. As recommended by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), there are primarily four cloud deployment models:

1. Private cloud

• The cloud infrastructure is operated solely for an organisation.

• This model doesn’t bring much in terms of cost efficiency: it is comparable to buying, building and managing your own infrastructure.

• It may be managed by the organization or a third party and may exist on premise or off premise.

3. Public cloud

• The cloud infrastructure is made available to the general public or a large industry group and is owned by an organisation selling cloud services.

• This model helps to reduce capital expenditure and bring down operational IT costs. Google is an example of a public cloud. This service can be provided by a vendor free of charge or on the basis of a pay-per-user license policy.

A Brief Overview of Cloud

2. Community cloud

• In the community deployment model, the cloud infrastructure is shared by several organisations with the same policy and compliance considerations - (e.g. mission, security requirements, policy, and compliance considerations).

• This helps to further reduce costs as compared to a private cloud, as it is shared by larger group.

• It may be managed by the organizations or a third party and may exist on premise or off premise.

4. Hybrid cloud • This deployment model helps businesses to

take advantage of secured applications and data hosting on a private cloud, while still enjoying cost benefits by keeping shared data and applications on the public cloud.

• Microsoft Azure and Force.com are two examples of this model.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)

SaaS is software which is deployed over the internet and used by someone on a personal computer or local area network.

SaaS gives businesses of all sizes the ability to subscribe to services built on shared infrastructure via the Internet. SaaS has flourished in recent years because of the many benefits it offers, including:

- Higher adoption- Reduced time to benefit- Lower costs- Scalability and integration.

According to Montclare SaaS 250, the top 10 SaaS providers are:

Zendesk, Worday, Salesforce, New Relic, NetSuite, Google, LinkedIn, Dropbox, Marketo

Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Platform as a Service (PaaS) en-ables customers to develop, run and manage web applications using programming languages and tools supported by the provider. The customer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure including network, servers, operating systems, or storage.

It is worth noting that all PaaS environments used in cloud computing aren’t the same. Some platforms are intrinsically tied to an environment, whereas others are linked to a specific operating system. Three styles are used; open, anchored and tied.

PaaS vendors companies include:

AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Cloudera, Google App Engine, Heroku, IBM Bluemix, Micro-soft Azure, OpenShift, Ragic, Salesforce.com

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a way of delivering cloud computing infrastructure – servers, storage, network and operating systems – as an on-demand service. Rather than purchasing servers, software, datacenter space or network equipment, clients instead buy those resources as a fully outsourced service on demand.The benefits of IaaS are closely related to the wider benefits of cloud computing and include removing the need to invest in equipment, supporting a business as it grows and accommodating the business’s infrastructure where demand for its products or services can be volatile.

IaaS companies include:

Amazon Web Services, AT&T, CA, Cloud-scaling, Datapipe, ENKI, Eucalyptus, GoG-rid, HP, Joyent, LayeredTech, Logicworks, Navisite, Opsource, Rackspace, Savvis, Terremark, Verizon

Cloud Stack

Cloud Computing is often described as a stack, in response to the broad range of services built on top of one another. Starting with storage and server infrastructure (IaaS) and working upwards through the application and network layers (PaaS) to the software and database layer (SaaS). The cloud stack can be further divided into different implementation models based on whether it’s created internally, outsourced or a combination of the two.

Platform as a Service (PaaS) styles

Anchored

Some Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings have become core business services for their customers. To expand their capabilities and their brand, some SaaS providers allow independent software vendors (ISVs) to develop applications on top of their software, for e.g. Workday offers a PaaS specifically designed to help customers integrate applications with the Workday financial management and human resource SaaS solutions.

Tied

Tying a PaaS to an operating environment makes it easier to perform certain actions within that environment. Microsoft and Amazon are offering their APIs so that developers can build or deploy applications with this support, for e.g. Amazon offers its AWS Elastic Beanstalk for deploying applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Open-platform PaaS

Open-platform PaaS providers allow developers to bring their own platform to the cloud, which offers flexibility — but it can also add complexity and cost.

Public PaaS providers and private PaaS vendors companies include:

#1 Hybrid

Hybrid cloud makes it possible to bridge incompatible clouds and traditional on-premises environments to operate fluidly as one. As a result, SMBs increase control and security of their data and are able to bring portability to their back and front office applications, thus improving overall productivity and freeing employees to focus on their core mission—innovation—instead of worrying about IT.

#2 Infrastructure

Businesses are taking advantage of scaling computing resources on demand and avoiding extra capital expenditure for resources they may only need for a few weeks. All of this is happening while quickly scaling up when they require additional bandwidth, storage or processing power. SMBs are flocking towards infrastructures that offer the flexibility to uniquely design their computing environment the way they know it works best.

#3Test & Development

Open, cloud-based environments are empowering SMBs to quickly innovate, test and launch new applications and solutions, cutting deployment times from months to hours or even minutes in many cases. Even the smallest developer teams are creating business applications with ease and speed, helping them to better serve their market and compete on a global scale.

#4Big Dataand Analytics

The cloud is empowering SMBs to take advantage of big data and analytics technology that, through traditional means, would be too costly or complex for them. Now, these small business owners can identify the data that are most meaningful to their business, analyze and act upon key insights. This means uncovering and predicting trends before they happen, fostering a deeper understanding of customers, operations and markets. This enables companies to act when and where the positive business impact is greatest.

#5Mobility

The spread of cloud-based mobile solutions is helping small business owners easily and affordably arm their workforce with key applications and company information on the go. Having valuable customer data or inventory information at the touch of a finger helps improve efficiency and enhances customer relationships as they grow their business. This new level of mobility also enables small entrepreneurial businesses once confined by geography to establish a global presence and improve customer engagement.

On 23rd April 2015, Amazon announced impressively profitable results for its cloud computing business. For some, the impact of AWS’ results may not come as a total surprise - AWS is the market leader, has been around since 1996 and received around $9bn in investment. However, this is Amazon we’re talking about. Famous for occasionally turning a profit, the set of results it posted increased AWS’s value to $44bn - putting it in the same league as Hewlett-Packard, which has a market capitalisation of $60bn and signalling loud and clear that cloud-computing has come of age.

Although AWS is much larger than the cloud business of rivals such as Microsoft and Google - they are also growing quickly as shown below. Under new CEO Satya Nadella, Microsoft has grown its commercial cloud revenue by 114% year over year in the most recent quarter. This more than doubled its cloud business. In the wake of AWS profits, it’s unlikely Google will sit idly by. Dropping its price claiming that Google’s Cloud Platform is “40% less expensive for many workloads” compared to the competition, it’s possible Google will use their forthcoming I/O conference as an opportunity to woo developers over to its cloud.

So who are the other super-computing firms battling it out for supremacy? Well, IBM is beginning to throw its weight around,

firstly by buying respected cloud company SoftLayer in a bit to catch up with AWS and secondly by posting first quarter earnings for its cloud revenue at $3.8bn up from $3.2bn. GE, which has trimmed its banking arm in a bid to be more competitive has signalled its intent to enter the cloud market by saying it’s “all in”. With a market cap north of $230bn, GE’s ability to disrupt the market is not to be ignored. Salesforce, the sixth largest software company in the world, announced first quarter revenues of $1.51bn, up 23% from the previous year. With rumours of a $50bn buyout, Salesforce has added one more weapon to its cloud armoury in the form of a revamped Community Cloud

platform. With the update, Salesforce’s Community Cloud brings features such as improved data analytics, more community tools, and the ability to use Salesforce Files Connect with Google Drive.

As AWS keeps adding services seemingly by the week, its competitors must set a new pace while supporting customers running an array of older technologies. Above all, AWS remains king of the castle especially given the new research from Synergy Research Corp which estimates that Amazon’s cloud revenue eclipses that of Google, IBM, Microsoft and Salesforce.com cloud revenues combined.

As cloud providers battle for market share, the price for their service inevitably drops; Google, Amazon and Microsoft dropped prices for their cloud services throughout 2014 and Google has dropped again - reducing the price it charges for its Cloud Platform virtual machines by 30%.

This scramble for users and market share is benefiting businesses and offers several cost advantages. For example, rather than buying servers and hiring engineers to maintain them, businesses will increasingly rent processing storage space cheaply; and whereas a system administrator might manage in-house servers, they will be able to oversee hundreds of “virtual machines” in the cloud.

However, the reality is that not all businesses can quickly shift all their services to the cloud. Many businesses are stuck running important parts of their operations on older bits of software. A report by John Rymer from Forrester found that the “legacy systems are often too embedded in a firm’s day-to-day operations to be replaced easily with newer, cloud-ready software” and “many such applications would need to be rewritten to run in the cloud”.

This two-speed effect between the faster and more cost effective cloud and legacy IT infrastructure is presenting

challenges for existing IT teams. According to David Mitchell Smith of Gartner the changing IT market is beginning to split IT departments into two groups - “One lot grapples with keeping a diminishing number of creaking, legacy systems going, while the other develops and manages the snazzy new systems that run in the cloud.”

So, as cloud is becoming cheaper and more convenient, are jobs on the rise too? According to Wanted Analytics, cloud job roles represent around 10% of all UK IT directly advertised job roles over the last quarter. Given that the top hirer is Oracle - with HP, IBM and Cisco closely following, it’s reasonable to assume that cloud is becoming a higher priority.

The forthcoming Cloud MENA conference in Dubai is addressing the ‘Impact of Cloud Computing on IT departments and IT professionals’ citing the need for IT professionals to develop a broader set of skills. It is also dispelling the myth that the rise of cloud will reduce IT jobs, countering the claim with a forecasted additional 7 million jobs created.

As businesses grapple with the changes in the IT market, it is clear that the fundamental relationship between IT departments will change within organisations.

Cheaper Cloud = More IT Teams?

One lot grapples with keeping a diminishing number of creaking, legacy systems going, while the other develops and manages the snazzy new systems that run in the clouds.

It is pretty well known that big data techniques are helping businesses around the world to be more efficient and make better decisions. However, what is less well known is the fast-growing new big-data-as-a-service (BDaaS) market. Cloud ‘as-a-service’ spending is estimated to increase to 35% by 2021. If this is true, then the global forecasted value of the BDaaS market will be around $30bn.

BDaaS refers to services that offer analysis of large or complex data sets, usually over the Internet, as cloud hosted services. Evolving out of the big data marketplace, many businesses have created cloud-based big data services to help other companies and organizations maximise their data.

In general, big data as a service will offer various kinds of data analytics. For example, a company could use it to monitor a large SEO or web content campaign that reaches a broad audience. In a BDaaS model, these services will commonly be offered over the Internet with key vendor storage and functionality tools located in the cloud.

Is Big data-as-a-service the Next Big Thing?

A good example is IBM’s Analytics for Twitter service, which provides businesses with access to data and analytics on Twitter’s 500 million tweets per day and 280 million monthly active users. The service provides analytical tools and applications for making sense of that messy, unstructured data and has trained 4,000 consultants to help businesses put plans into action to profit from them.
