隨著PCWorld所稱的“應用網絡”的增加,使用云計算的公司將不得不在2012年以前迎合更多的個人手機和平板電腦用戶。像PCWorld所報道的,Forrester 稱此類應用網絡引入了新一代計算技術。
據ReadWriteWeb稱,“Forrester說出了我們在移動計算類別中觀察了一段時間的東西,第一大趨勢則是由于個人設備的發展勢頭,企業移動平臺策略將會發生改變。簡而言之,用戶將越來越多地攜帶并使用自己的手機。Forrester 指出,這將繼續成為評估管理和安全性的一個問題。”
PCWorld稱,由于工作者使用個人設備的高比例,企業將不得不處理彈性應用平臺。Forrester稱,企業主的新期望就是“永遠聯網狀態,永遠可用狀態。”企業需要逐步進化以達到這種標準。
IDC預測今年早期,云計算市場將以每年27.6%的比率擴張。公司稱,此產業2010年收入為2.15億美元,2015年前將增長到7.29億美元,移動應用無疑是增長的主要部分。
With the rise of what PCWorld calls "the app internet," companies using cloud computing will have to cater to personal smartphone and tablet users more than ever before in 2012. As reported by PCWorld, Forrester said that this app internet is ushering in a new generation of computing technology.
"Forrester calls out what we've been observing for some time in the mobile computing category," according to ReadWriteWeb. "The first trend here is that enterprise mobile platform strategy is going to change due to personal device momentum. In short, users will increasingly be bringing their own phones and expecting to use them. Forrester notes, correctly, that this will continue to be a problem for asset management and security."
With a high proportion of personal devices being used by workers, businesses will have to cope with elastic application platforms, according to PCWorld. Forrester said the new expectation of business owners is to be "always on, always available," and businesses need to evolve to meet this standard.
IDC predicted earlier this year that the cloud computing market will expand at a yearly rate of 27.6 percent. The company said the industry was at $21.5 billion in 2010 and will grow to $72.9 billion by 2015, with mobile apps sure to be a big part of that growth.
