Cloud Computing in the wake of Metaverse

Cloud Computing advancements are at the core of the Metaverse rise

Technology is advancing at breakneck speed. Smartphones, cloud computing, AI, machine learning, and blockchain are just a few of the breakthrough technological concepts that have previously captured the interest of the IT industry. The phrase “metaverse” is one such recent buzzword that has piqued the interest of the global tech sector to the point that it has become a major goal for several global digital behemoths.

Metaverse is a converging point where multiple immersive technologies like Augmented reality, head-mounted display AR, IoT, 5G, spatial technology and AI, combine to deliver the ultimate user experience that allows you to connect with other humans or digital entities in a virtual environment.

The buzz around Metaverse

[box type=”info” align=”” class=”” width=””]According to Gartner, 25% of internet users will spend at least an hour every day on Metaverse for shopping, work, entertainment and social media. It is supported by an independent virtual economy enabled by non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and digital currencies.[/box]

More computational power will be required in the Metaverse.

Metaverse is only getting started, and it will require a vast infrastructure to remodel and progress the technology, which will include more processing power, 3D images, VR technology, Internet connectivity, and other features. While Facebook has been a key pushing force, other big businesses that are working on Metaverse include Nvidia, Microsoft, Unity Software, Autodesk, Adobe, and Tencent.

Metaverse still has cloud computing in its essence.

Cloud computing has progressed into breakthroughs and revolutions influencing the whole ICT sector in the last fifteen years, from being questioned to becoming a new generation of IT standards. Cloud computing is still in its infancy. According to analysts, cloud spending accounts for only 5% to 15% of overall IT investment at the moment.  A huge number of workloads will be shifted to the cloud in the future, and a large number of innovations will take place there. The cloud industry will unfurl its true potential with Metaverse, as an increased number of businesses migrate to the virtual world.

Cloud computing is essential to the Metaverse.

Meta supplements its existing local infrastructure with cloud technology’s stable infrastructure and comprehensive functionalities and will employ additional cloud technology’s computing, storage, database, and security services to improve privacy, security, dependability, and scalability.

AR Cloud

AR cloud is an emerging 3D map of the world that is overlaid onto the real world. AR cloud will augment the experience and information tied, augmented and shared to a physical location. Companies soon will use this tech to create their versions of service channels to leverage the possibilities created by Metaverse.

 Meta will leverage cloud services to support the firms it has purchased and will host third-party cooperative apps on the cloud. It will also employ Cloud computing services to speed up the research and development of the Meta AI department’s artificial intelligence project. Meta will also collaborate with clients to increase the performance of PyTorch, a cloud-based deep learning computing platform, and to assist developers to speed up the creation, training, deployment, and operation of AI and machine learning models.

This is an area where cloud computing may play a significant role. The Metaverse is a realm in which cloud computing may be greatly augmented. The Metaverse requires computation, storage, machine learning, and other services that are inextricably linked to cloud computing.

Meta-universe combines a variety of well-known technologies, with cloud computing serving as the backbone. Whether it’s modelling in the digital world or interacting with it, machine learning is inextricably linked. At the same time, the meta-environment universes would unavoidably create a massive quantity of data, and these data are inextricably linked to the underlying platform, which must be the cloud.”

There is no denying that augmented and virtual reality has massive applications in the future, but Metaverse takes those concepts to a whole new level. It’s also important to remember that data lies at the bottom of everything Metaverse is set to do. As more and more people and businesses participate and leverage this virtual universe, more and more the need for data, processing and computing keeps rising.  In a way, cloud computing has only started, and with the rise of Meta, we will witness the true potential of cloud computing taking over.
