How The Cloud Can Benefit Your Business

Many of us interact with cloud computing on a daily basis, whether we realize it or not. From Google Docs to iCloud, individuals have found smart solutions for the digital storage questions; and businesses have taken it a step further.

 

Up until 2006, storing data online was tricky, but smart business leaders have gravitated to the world of cloud computing and have found it an immeasurably valuable ally in business growth. Today, 93% of organizations use the cloud in some form, and 42% of them derive 50% or more of their business directly though cloud-based apps. Amazon Web Service, AWS, and Windows Azure dominate the cloud industry with a combined percentage of 66% of the market, as a favorite for businesses and individuals alike. Global spending on public cloud computing is predicted to reach $162 billion by 2020, more than double what it was in 2015 and with a growth rate six times higher than spending on IT. From public to private to hybrid servers, there is a cloud option for virtually every kind of business.
