Public and private cloud adoption rates have increased significantly. A recent RightScale survey found that larger enterprises have an increased focus on public cloud. Parallel to the cloud’s growth, the cloud market landscape is also going through some major changes. One of the greatest Microsoft technology solutions of recent times – Microsoft Azure has seemingly taken over the cloud market, overtaking AWS. 

The cloud is now at the forefront when it comes to serving the ever-increasing technology and demands of enterprises. Despite the increasing number of cloud service vendors in the market, it didn’t take long for Microsoft Azure to be on top. Azure services suit different industry requirements and are both user-friendly and cost-effective. This is why Azure is also preferable for many trusted companies in the software development UAE industry.

Here are a few enterprise cloud trends that Azure web services can handle.

Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) is not a new technology. It’s been around for a while undergoing some serious improvements. Over the last few years, IoT attracted many investors subsequently boosting itself and the cloud platform along with it. As people rely more on mobile devices to access the internet, companies have started showing interest in IoT mobile apps. Microsoft Azure is now being considered as a great platform to build and deploy location-aware IoT apps. 

AI & ML

Leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technologies enable modern businesses to significantly improve their productivity and service quality. Contrary to popular beliefs, these technologies also reduce cost constraints of enterprises. With these technologies gaining momentum, Microsoft Azure has apparently expanded their capabilities to offer competitive ML services.

What used to be known as Batch AI will now be known as Azure Machine Learning Service. It changes the way developers and enterprises handle AI and ML while granting impressive flexibility and scalability. Batch AI is already popular among leading enterprises leveraging the cloud in the custom software development Dubai sector.

Enhanced security

Recent cyber-attacks have made many enterprises question the security of the cloud. Though Microsoft Azure is considered trustworthy and reliable when it comes to security, they are still addressing the concern by setting various projects in motion to ensure high-end security and meet the changing client needs.

Conclusion

A little bit of research can show you how Microsoft Azure has always strived to meet the expectations and standards of their clients. From where things are going, it’s safe to say that Azure will maintain its place at the top in the coming years as well even under constant technological advancements and dynamically changing enterprise demands.
