Summary of the development of cloud computing
Since cloud computing was proposed in 2006, it has roughly experienced the formation stage, development stage and application stage. The past decade has been a decade of rapid progress in cloud computing, and the global cloud computing market has grown several times. At present, the global cloud computing market maintains a steady growth trend. In 2019, the global cloud computing market represented by IaaS, PaaS and SaaS reached 188.3 billion, a growth rate of 20.86%. It is expected that the average market growth rate in the next few years will be around 18%, and the market size will exceed US$350 billion by 2023.
In the future, cloud computing will still usher in the next golden decade, entering a period of inclusive development. First, with the advancement of new infrastructure, cloud computing will speed up the application process and achieve rapid development in different fields such as the Internet, government affairs, finance, transportation, logistics, and education. Second, in the context of the global digital economy, cloud computing has become an inevitable choice for enterprises’ digital transformation, and the process of enterprises going to the cloud will further accelerate. Third, the emergence of the new crown pneumonia epidemic has accelerated the implementation of SaaS services such as remote office and online education, and promoted the rapid development of the cloud computing industry.
Decentralized Cloud
There are two main advantages:
Reduce costs. Local data centers will replace traditional telecom operators, and blockchain platforms will replace traditional Internet cloud service providers, freeing up underutilized cloud capacity everywhere (it is estimated that 85% of the world’s cloud capacity is still unused). It is expected to reduce the cost of the user end by 3-15 times.
Anti-censorship. Traditional websites are hosted on centralized platforms with DNS. These platforms are operated by physical companies and therefore have the risk of censorship. Even if someone has physical access to the server, they cannot access your service.
The role of akash Decloud
Akash DeCloud is a faster, more efficient, and lower-cost cloud built for DeFi, decentralized applications and organizations, and high-growth companies. The role is to use the decentralized computing network to break the monopoly of Internet cloud computing giants, and to provide resources in the peer-to-peer market to build flexible and unstoppable applications.
It has the following four characteristics:
1.Lower cost: akash users can set a price, and service providers compete for this price to win the lease. In this case, because the price is determined by demand and supply, the price will always be lower.
2.Always online: Applications running on akash run in multiple decentralized locations and can only be stopped by their owners. Even if someone has physical access to the server and no one can stop you from using akash.
3.Increase productivity: The developer-centric tool chain reduces the learning cost of developers.
4.Scalability: Akash’s permissionless model enables any computer to become a cloud computing provider, unleashing 85% of underutilized cloud computing power in 8.4 million data centers worldwide. On Akash, developers have unlimited access to all network resources at any time, thereby eliminating the barriers to scalability.
Akash DeCloud is a vertically integrated cloud computing solution that will enable developers to deploy interfaces and nodes without any obstacles. It has the best price/performance ratio in the market, can well deal with censorship risks, and guarantees the access experience of users around the world. In the future, a large number of defi and DApps can be deployed on DeCloud, which is vital to the development of the cryptocurrency industry and cloud computing industry.
