5 TOP PAAS TRENDS IN 2022



HomeBig Data
By Drew Robb
May 25, 2022

In software-as-a-service (SaaS), a user logs onto a site via the web, and the
application’s functions are delivered over the web. 

Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) is a little different. Instead of a service, an
entire platform is delivered from the cloud. This platform is then used for the
development, running, and management of applications. The big advantage is that
the user does not need to build or maintain the cloud infrastructure required to
develop an application or launch it. 

PaaS comes in several flavors. You can receive it as a general cloud service
from a provider, which allows the user to control software deployment but lacks
configuration options. In the background, the provider takes care of all needs
for the network, servers, storage, OS support and other related IT functions,
such as Java or .NET runtime, any needed integrations, databases, and more. 

Alternatively, PaaS can be consumed as a private service from software or an
appliance that sits behind the firewall or deployed as software on AWS or some
other public cloud. 

Those using PaaS note benefits, such as more rapid and more efficient app
development, no need to get involved in the underlying plumbing, and general
ease of use. 

Here are some of the top trends companies and IT teams are seeing in the PaaS
market: 


1. REDUCING COMPLEXITY 

PaaS growth is being fueled by a desire to reduce the complexity of cloud native
infrastructure, speed time to market and reduce costs, according to Brad
Murdoch, EVP, Lightbend. 

Complexity, after all, comes in spades in the world of cloud native. 

“Anything that can reduce that complexity and friction by making life easier for
architects, developers, and operations has the potential to add significant
value,” Murdoch said. 

“The primary business driver fueling the interest in cloud native services
delivered via more sophisticated Platforms-as-a-Service is the move to
real-time, data-centric business resulting in requirements for the modernization
of portfolios of core services or to build completely new greenfield systems.”  

Murdoch cited examples: such as IoT platforms, real-time financial services,
modern e-commerce systems, streaming media, internet-based gaming, factory
automation, and telemedicine.


2. CONVERGENCE 

New IT architectures are emerging for the multicloud era, said Edward Qin, chief
product officer, Algoblu.

This requires that cloud services, security, and networking converge together. 

“In this new, integrated approach, security and networking are no longer
composed of discrete appliances and devices; we are talking about software
services alongside cloud-based applications,” Qin said. “This is what Gartner
calls SASE (Secure Access Service Edge).” 

PaaS vendors are now rolling such services together, in some cases, to provide
the security and networking support in addition to the standard application
development services. 


3. INCORPORATING MICROSOFT INTO THE PROCESS

Microsoft has recently upped its game in the cloud with security being a big
impetus. 

These security safeguards apply across SaaS, PaaS, and Infrastructure as a
Service implementations. 

Many organizations have implemented Exchange Online and Teams, and in that
process, they configured their existing, on-premises Active Directory to
synchronize to the Microsoft cloud, said Aaron Turner, VP, SaaS posture, Vectra.

In that process, decisions were likely made to perform what was perceived as a
one-way connection into the Microsoft cloud. In reality, there is no such thing
as ‘one way’ as every connection is really bi-directional.

“There have been many organizations which have suffered from security incidents
stemming from the default ‘one way’ synchronization security settings that were
configured between on-premises Active Directory and Azure AD,” Turner said.

“Organizations which are using Microsoft 365 services such as Exchange Online,
OneDrive and Teams should actively be measuring their security posture in Azure
AD. Even in situations where a ‘one way’ synchronization was established, there
can still be bi-directional security vulnerabilities that can be exploited.”


4. CLOUD MIGRATION 

Those organizations moving from on-premises implementations to the cloud and
PaaS have to deal with migrating data to the cloud. 

In one recent study, 62% of respondents said their cloud migration projects were
tougher than anticipated. 

What’s more, 64% said those projects took more time than predicted and 55% went
beyond their budgets, said Samta Bansal, global consulting strategy leader,
Hitachi Vantara 

“Taking a strategic approach to cloud operations is the first step,” Bansal
said. 

“Look at the needs of your entire organization and determine at a strategic
level which workloads can be offloaded to the cloud, which must remain
on-premises, and how to best operate in a hybrid reality.” 


5. MULTICLOUD PAAS 

Cloud complexity is growing. Not only are organizations utilizing multiple
public cloud platforms, such as Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform. And now
they are even getting involved in multiple PaaS implementations. 

“Today’s workforces, their application workflows and their datasets are all
increasingly distributed across multiple locations, including one or more
physical data centers, private and public clouds and different cloud regions,”
said Floyd Christofferson, VP of product marketing, Hammerspace. 

“To be competitive, organizations increasingly need to ensure that a distributed
workforce can be productive with immediate, secure, and shared access to any
data, regardless of their location. Multicloud functionality helps future proof
cloud vendor decisions, enabling non-disruptive data placement between
providers, locations, and across otherwise incompatible storage silos without
the complexity and disruption caused by migrations or pushing data copies
between sites.”
