Cloud Computing: Sky High Expectations

















A flood of new ‘smart’ devices, increased penetration of cellular networks, and increase in internet bandwidth capacities has given rise to ‘big data’ – which is what the industry calls data sets that grow so large that they are difficult to handle with commonly-used hardware and software tools. As increasingly greater volumes of information get digitized, handling the data that is being generated has become problematic in terms of storage, maintenance and recoverability.
‘Big data’, ‘cloud computing’ and ‘virtualization’ are the latest trends in the tech industry, which are changing the dynamics of how organizations and individuals will handle data solutions in the future.
