The demand for instant availability of IT resources enabled by the cloud has never been greater. The cloud has and continues to transform connectivity between employees and businesses across the globe. Accessing the cloud is easier than ever, from our computer screens to mobile devices to even our watches, the cloud is everywhere. So, what if the cloud never existed, what would change?
