Cloud

“The cloud” is a global network of interconnected servers used to store data, run applications, and deliver services and content. This network makes it possible to access files and applications from anywhere using any internet-capable devices.

Application Example(s)

The cloud is all around us, and you may not know that many of the programs and applications you use every day are based on cloud technology. Whether you’re sending emails via a Gmail account, storing files using Dropbox, sharing content on Twitter or Instagram, or even streaming your favorite TV shows through Netflix (which uses AWS for most of its cloud-based functions), you’re interacting with the cloud.

By 2025, it’s estimated that 100 zettabytes (that’s 100 billion terabytes) of data will be stored in the cloud. That’s a lot of data. The cloud is increasingly prevalent in our everyday lives, and it’s allowing businesses to grow and adapt faster than ever before: they can scale resources more quickly, be more agile in the face of changing demands, reduce their operating costs, and focus their efforts on business operations instead of IT infrastructure.
