Cloud Hosting

By Amit Gupta

Eleven months ago, when technology enthusiasts did some crystal gazing, the world of cloud computing market was on standard growth trajectory. Things were going well-- enterprises were investing on cloud technologies, more workloads were moving to cloud and a few conventional industries were opening up to the inevitability of cloud. Nonetheless, there was nothing extraordinary until Covid-19 happened.

In many ways, the global pandemic has been a watershed moment for the technology industry. Technology and tech leaders were pushed right into the middle of action, where workforce distribution models were enabled, digital agendas were accelerated and some of the biggest shifts were facilitated almost overnight.

Digital emerges as the biggest cloud catalyst A recent survey conducted by Mckinsey brings out some surprising numbers. A large majority of the companies that took part in the survey said that they have accelerated the digitization of their customers, supply-chain interactions and their internal operations by three to four years, while the share of their digital or digitally enabled products has accelerated by seven years! This is a clear indication of how dramatically the pre-crisis pace of change has been disrupted in a matter of few months.

Digital has been at the core of global disruption that industries are undergoing. If we analyse progress in the last 6 to 10 months, the global pandemic compelled two biggest paradigm shifts in the way enterprises operatedone, the massive shift to work from home models and the second, the rapid adoption of digital channels and digital customer engagement models. Both these changes required technology leaders to rapidly acquire digital skills at organizational level.

Reorienting to the new normal with cloudLast few months have been a great learning experience for business and technology leaders. Well past the initial response phase, organizations now need to plan and prepare for recovery and subsequently for business growth. Technology leaders new mandate include building new capabilities that will help their organizations thrive beyond the crisis. They must also reduce costs significantly while at it. This balancing act, as a CIO catapults into a highly strategic role, requires them to look at a more stable, reliable and secure platform like cloud.

Cloud is thus very much at the center of organizations rebound strategies. Organizations that are higher up in the cloud adoption curve have already experienced the benefits of the platform while the pandemic necessitated radical changes. These organizations are directing their IT investments further towards cloud to protect and grow revenues in the new normal.

At the same time, some organizations were literally forced into adopting cloud models during the pandemic to stay afloat. Having seen how lack of an agile cloud platform can put a spoke in the wheel during adversities, these organizations are now heavily focusing on cloud. Both these categories of organizations are driving cloud investments in unprecedented ways in 2020 and well into 2021.

SummaryCynics are warning us that the spike in cloud investment is owing to the sudden shift to WFH and that it might fizzle out eventually. However, the fact is, many of the Covid-induced shifts are rather permanent in naturebe it WFH, remote learning, or digital.

The market realities in the next normal are likely very different from what businesses are so far accustomed to. There is, in all possibility, no return to the old normal. In the new world order, organizations must develop capabilities that help them respond to the unknown and embrace change with agility. 2020 has taught us that being Cloud-first or Cloud-smart is a prerequisite, and not really a choice.

The best cloud and IT Ops conferences of 2021 - TechBeacon

Cloud-based solution-providing companies are making the most of the battle against the pandemic, wherein mass gatherings are strictly restricted and people are being increasingly asked to work from home.

The shelter-in-place orders have fueled demand for remote project collaborations, video conferencing, online classes, data storage, gaming, and e-commerce shopping. Such services are easily available with the help of cloud computing technology.

Moreover, big data has become one of the biggest assets for the healthcare industry. Storing and managing an enormous amount of data are of utmost importance, and cloud computing firms are emerging as key players in this regard.

Additionally, growing usage of cloud-based services is aggravating security lapses, inducing risks of hacking and phishing mails in the garb of coronavirus as the subject content. Also, usage of own devices and equipment that are not properly configured or can be infected with malware during teleworking or accessing information to and fro from cloud raises possibilities of security breaches for enterprises. This is driving demand for cloud-based security service solutions.

With demand for cloud-based solutions growing, enterprises are turning to software companies for providing the digital infrastructure they need to keep up with the online world.

Considering the healthy growth prospects of cloud-focused tech companies, it makes sense to invest in this space for long-term gains.

Lets, thus, take a closer look at some of the notable cloud stocks that not only benefitted from this growing reliance on technology in 2020 but are also poised to keep gaining next year.

The Trade Desk, Inc. TTD is a provider of technology platform for advertising. The company is benefiting from the momentum in programmatic ad buying. In addition, the emergence of digital content boosted the usage of this companys inventory across all forms of ConnectedTV (CTV). Moreover, recovering ad demand and spending scenario is anticipated to fuel the top line.

Story continues

Markedly, digital ad spending surpassed traditional media buying last year. Additionally, citing reports of eMarketer, WNIP revealed that the digital ad market is estimated to reach $225 billion by 2024 in the United States alone, up from this years nearly $150 billion. This gives The Trade Desk plenty of room to expand, and marketers need to reach consumers beyond Google and Facebook.

The digital advertising company currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of todays Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2020 earnings is pegged at $4.99 per share, having been revised 58.4% upward in 60 days time. For 2021, the consensus mark for earnings has moved 25.4% north to $4.98 per share over the same time frame. The companys shares have been up a whopping 255.7% year to date, outperforming the Zacks Internet Services industrys growth of 33.5%.

YTD Price Performance: TTD

Dropbox DBX is riding on growing demand for its cloud-based team collaboration tools through which users can share files, photos, videos, songs and spreadsheets. This Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) companys strong focus on product innovation and introduction of solutions like updated Dropbox Spaces, HelloSign, Passwords, Vault and Computer Backup are anticipated to expand its user base.

Solid demand for cloud storage, triggered by the coronavirus-led work-from-home wave, has been acting as a tailwind for the company. Further, integration with leading applications like Zoom, Slack and Atlassian will likely expand the Dropbox paying user base.

Additionally, Dropboxs innovative Virtual First initiative, under which its employees will work from home majority of the time and will meet once in a while for team collaboration, is expected to lower cost. The companys plan to shift to hiring in low-cost regions is likely to boost profitability.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2020 earnings stands at 88 cents per share, up 14.3% in the past 60 days. The consensus mark for its 2021 earnings is pegged at $1 per share, having been revised 9.9% upward over the same time frame. The stock has spiked 37.4% in the year-to-date period, outperforming the Internet Services industrys rise of 33.5%.

YTD Price Performance: DBX

Zscaler ZS is one of the worlds leading providers of cloud-based security solutions. The company is riding on heightening demand for cyber-security solutions owing to the slew of data breaches. Increasing demand for privileged access security on digital transformation and cloud-migration strategies is a key growth driver.

Apart from this, the companys Edge cloud for policy enforcement, multi-tenancy, proxy for SSL or TLS inspection and zero trust network access are positioned robustly to gain adoption amid the thriving remote-work culture.

This Zacks Rank #2 companys portfolio strength boosts its competitive edge and helps add users. Furthermore, a strong presence across verticals, such as banking, insurance, healthcare, public sector, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications services and education, is another key catalyst.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2021 earnings is pegged at 37 cents per share, having been revised 27.6% upward in 30 days time. For fiscal 2022, the consensus mark for earnings has moved 9.6% north to 57 cents per share over the same time frame. Shares of Zscaler have soared 346.2%, outperforming the Zacks Internet Services industrys return of 33.5% in the year so far.

4 Cloud Stocks That Will Continue to Fly High in 2021 - Yahoo Finance

The healthcare providers are using cloud computing so that it becomes easy for them to manage the massive amount of data.

FREMONT, CA:For the healthcare sector, cloud computing is not a whole new concept. The implementation of cloud technology has been growing at a frenetic rate in the last few years. According to recent research, the global demand for cloud technology in the healthcare industry is projected to expand by USD 25.54 billion during 2020-2024. The pandemic of COVID-19 has only accelerated this trend.

Even though pandemic effects are still unraveling, it is already evident that not every industry will suffer the same as some have indicated significant improvement. The healthcare and technology industries fall into this group making the worldwide healthcare cloud computing market very promising for the coming years.

The democratization of data and its remote accessibility free up providers and patients in an industry where a large amount of data is generated daily, breaking down geographical constraints on healthcare access.

Here are the top 3 healthcare advantages of cloud computing.

Collaboration

As the healthcare facilities is moving forward with the value-based care payment procedure, the collaboration among physicians, agencies, and even institutions have become essential. With a cloud computing server's help, medical professionals can share data and improve collaboration for better care.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

There is one sector where AI can be intimidating, and it is healthcare. But AI and machine learning technologies can be a critical solution to help clinical decisions and provide a faster time-to-treatment with the medical professionals' busy deadlines, especially when the world is continuously fighting against a global pandemic and rise of data.

Cloud infrastructure will facilitate the transition of artificial intelligence into conventional healthcare operations and help users handle vast volumes of data as more and more cloud providers incorporate AI and ML into their services.

Data Storage

Electronic medical records, patient portals, mobile applications, and big data analytics have to be dealt with by healthcare providers. It is a lot of data to maintain and analyze, and every in-house facility cannot process it.

Therefore, Cloud computing enables healthcare organizations to store all the information while eliminating unnecessary physical server maintenance expenses.
