Companies have a lot of data. The data are stored on hard drives. The hard drives on servers require space and maintenance. Maintenance? – think of cooling them using ACs and powering them with electricity and a room where all of it safely stored with all the security it commands! Now think of lots of data having lots of hard drives requiring lot of maintenance. What if the servers can be rid from the office entirely? Sounds cool right. The administration, storage, and analysis of data generated by industries is a massive operation that takes a long time and requires a lot of effort. When you move all this to cloud, Voila! You can access anything and everything from anywhere via cloud because access to cloud requires you to have internet.
Today we talk about the industries that are moving to cloud.

All thanks to the latest improvements in cloud services which ensures better security of data than the traditional methods.
Clouds are where the dreams are, and dreams are what injects passion in us to get wings. So, if you have not yet moved, it is not a sin that you have committed.
