cloud computing will continue to transform.

But like any technology,

Here’s what the

future of cloud computing holds…

Bandwidth Alternatives

Bandwidth Alternatives

Bandwidth demand will continue to grow as cloud usage increases. Limited bandwidth leads to latency, inhibiting users from accessing data quickly.

Bandwidth Alternatives

One solution:Inverse cloud models or machine-to-machine computing.

Bandwidth Alternatives

Machine-to-Machine computing distributes data transmission among routers and endpoints. Data doesn’t have to travel as far reducing latency.

Bandwidth Alternatives

Another solution:Drones, Balloons and Beyond

High Altitude Long Operation (HALO) is a project that would deploy lightweight planes to provide DSL quality data delivery

AeroVironment and NASA are collaborating on a solar-powered version of HALO.

Network Neutrality Debate

Network Neutrality Debate

The FCC is in the process of establishing guidelines for bandwidth usage.

The Arguments:

Low latency data should be given higher priority.

The Internet is supposed to be shared equally

Network Neutrality Debate

Potential SolutionsA fast and slow “lane” for broadband

Reclassify broadband as a telecommunication service

Private arrangements between providers.
