The Intelligent Cloud: An examination of AI in the Cloud ecosystem
The overall cloud market is $250b and growing at 32% annually. AI is still a relatively small part of this, comprising $202.5 million in 2015—but forecast to reach $11.1 billion by 2024. It’s important to remember that humans have been taking swings at AI for over 60 years, and other technological building blocks had to be arranged—each a milestone in its own right—in order to get us to where we are today, and where we’re poised to reach tomorrow. The amount of processing power and the speed of data throughput required for high-performance artificial intelligence place functional AI right in the Cloud’s wheelhouse.
Hyperscalers are positioned to be the creators of AI products; with AWS, IBM Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud as the top four. Service providers can leverage their deep relationships with existing cloud-service clients to provide bespoke AI solutions across the business spectrum. The economic effect is then amplified out into the world by orders of magnitude as costs drop, productivity rises, and data is processed more effectively to surface game-changing insights. Getting ahead of the curve on AI constitutes a prime opportunity to deliver maximum change for your customers.

Web-Pros in the Cloud: Smart Creativity at Scale
A great website isn’t a product—it’s a service. A website needs continuous upkeep for it to remain compelling, relevant, and secure: that’s your job as a CSP or CSV, and you’ve built a successful business out of it. So as you win more clients, focusing on design excellence grows further out of reach.
Meanwhile, Web Professionals specialize in design and creativity, and do not want to dip their toes too deep into the waters of customer retention and growth analytics. Together you become a powerful force, but first you must meet each other. This year, CloudFest is making that happen by inviting top Web Professionals to the festival.
