Enterprise use of cloud will move from strategy, proof of concept, and limited deployments to true utilization and production applications. 2010 was the year of consideration and initial evaluation and 2011 will bring real usage of clouds. Key to this transition is the adoption of hybrid clouds: true integration between the data center, internal clouds and the public clouds. The gating factors for hybrid cloud computing have been security and discontinuity between the on-premise and public clouds – the engineering and support efforts needed to run applications in the cloud and connect them to the existing compute infrastructure have made this transition difficult. New technologies will make this transition both affordable and supportable in 2011. 2011 will also be a year for some very interesting networking changes. As part of the hybrid cloud platform shift, it has become clear that integrated networking and network security are required. As cloud providers build architectures to support enterprise-class networking, and enterprises begin to integrate these networks with their internal ones, they’ll drive the need for new switches, routers and control planes. During 2011, these new networking components will arrive for real in the form of new standards (OpenFlow), new devices (virtual appliances from network vendors), and new software (from companies like CloudSwitch, VMware, etc.).

Collaboration among IT professionals will move beyond simple community forums and happen within the applications they use everyday to do their jobs. IT pros will be able to directly connect with trusted peers in other companies and with the technology vendors they depend on to run their businesses. Much like Facebook and Twitter give consumers instant access to help from friends and trusted brands, social IT will give small businesses the power of a million person IT department.
