Techsplained @FE: Over the cloud – The Financial Express
In 2017, Marc Clark, then senior director of cloud strategy at Teradata, asked a simple question. “How do you transfer 3PB of data on the cloud?” After a few minutes, he animatedly answered the question himself, “you don’t”. Three years, though, is a long time in computing. Technology has transformed to unimaginable levels. In 2017, companies were still working out kinks on hybrid clouds and moving for better integration between on-site and off-site servers. Now, companies like IBM are talking about cognitive clouds that can change the nature of computing. Data analysis was always a feature of cloud computing; now, the game is artificial intelligence and blockchain. “We are moving from public systems to hybrid multi-clouds with cognitive capabilities,” says Gopal Pingali, global vice president of the Global Technology Services Labs, IBM. But it is crucial to understand what is a private cloud, a public cloud and a hybrid cloud.
