Cloud services have already caused a major transformation in technologies and a shift in business operations focus that has affected everything from ERP to data center planning. One of the crucial aspects of the next phases in the evolution of cloud services will be the extent to which various players can deal with the anticipated scope of many supplier/customer relationships and associated scale of data exchange and transactions.
The industry has evolved from in-app authorization to standard interfaces/procedures to centralized abstraction and now to Cloud Service Brokers (CSB). The fundamental CSB functions are to aggregate, simplify, secure, and integrate data, communications, and commerce between vendors. These functions are often referred to as Cloud Intermediation services and include both technical and business process mediation on a cloud-to-cloud basis.
We see AI technologies performing assigned network tasks and machine learning-based dynamic operations without interrupting user experience. Users are able to access networks via virtual applications regardless of the devices they use, enabling management of network configuration and other functions. The CSB model transforms network management functions into intelligent and responsive automation and optimization procedures.
