When the internet was in its early days, the word \u2018cloud\u2019 was mainly used as a metaphor to describe complex telephone networks and how they were connected. Now, cloud is a representation of computing where servers, networks, storage, development tools, and even applications are warranted through the internet. Instead of organizations having to make major investments to buy equipment, train staff, and provide ongoing maintenance, some or all of these needs are handled by a cloud service provider! To help push companies through the current economic crisis, a cloud infrastructure can lead to increased and sustainable growth. Speaking just in terms of stats, it is estimated that half of the world\u2019s data, which amounts to approximately 100 zettabytes is expected to be in the cloud by 2025. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Cloud infrastructure is not just benefitting businesses but it has transformed lives on an individual basis as well. Many of us are using cloud services every day; when we update our status on\u00a0social media<\/a>, watch a new streaming series, or check our bank accounts, we\u2019re most likely using applications that are hosted by cloud services. These apps are accessed through an internet connection rather than being installed on our hard drives or devices.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) states that 5 characteristics are important for cloud-based infrastructure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Cloud is Accelerating Digital Transformation<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Previously, in 2015, 30% of the corporate data was part of the cloud, which has now subsequently soared up to 50%. A company\u2019s digital transformation is only possible if it can manage its data in a more secure, scalable and efficient way. This is where cloud services come in, they have allowed businesses to process, store and manage their data at accelerated speeds.
Cloud is here to stay and businesses will continue to move forward as they invest increasingly more towards conducting operations via a cloud infrastructure. According to Gartner, by 2023 global spending on public cloud services will reach $482 billion, which is a 21.7% increase from 2021. With cloud technology, your business can streamline processes and save money, making your digital transformation more potent today and disruption-proof tomorrow.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHow Cloud Computing Supports Digital Transformation<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
