2020 was the year of remote work, remote learning, remote research, remote healthcare, and therapy…remote everything. Increased digital learning, e-commerce, gaming, and online streaming all contributed to the growing need for scaled cloud services.
Due to the lockdown, schools, businesses, learning institutions, and other vendors and service providers and their users have had to quickly adapt themselves to operating almost entirely online. This, in turn, has led to a surge in demand for cloud services, not just from corporate entities but also from individual users.

Last year’s revenues from cloud services hit an all-time high of $142 billion, up from $107 billion in 2019. While the increased spending isn’t unique to the pandemic period, this notable surge in revenues by almost 33% can almost be attributed to the crisis.
It isn’t the only Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) companies such as AWS that are reaping from the windfall. Software as a Service (SaaS), Backup as a Service (BaaS), and even Platform as a Service (PaaS) companies such as Facebook have also seen revenue growth during the pandemic period, with more growth expected post-pandemic.

However, their occurrence within an almost similar time frame might be a pointer that, indeed, issues of scale had a role to play.

The grim reality of running at-scale network services was exposed by the pandemic where companies just didn’t have the infrastructure to support their operations concerning remote work. Remote work is not only an efficient model of operation if the infrastructure is right and secure.
It also offers possibilities to lower costs, increase speeds, and loss mitigation due to network or other system issues. It is thus expected that cloud services will increase in margin and efficiency with more small and commercial entities increasing their uptake.

Support Is Growing for Hybrid Clouds
With server timeouts, disk space issues, and other network or vendor problems that affect business continuity, customers are moving in search of hybrid or multi-cloud options that allow flexibility. A fluid cloud system that can allow users to migrate easily across systems allows resources to be deployed as needed and workloads balanced.
Different technical and business requirements may be required for different kinds of businesses, and the likelihood is that very few enterprises can have all their needs met by just one cloud provider.
The Takeaway
Whether it is applications, systems, storage, or speed, cloud computing opens up a whole new level of possibilities for individuals and corporate players alike. 2020 showed just how much the world needs cloud players, but it also exposed the vulnerabilities that massive systems face. The cloud will only get bigger and better, but will the risks and potential for losses increase as well? Only time will tell.
