You are probably using cloud computing right now, even if you don’t realise it. If you use an online service to send email, edit documents, watch movies or TV, listen to music, play games or store pictures and other files, it is likely that cloud computing is making it all possible behind the scenes. The first cloud computing services are barely a decade old, but already a variety of organisations—from tiny startups to global corporations, government agencies to non-profits—are embracing the technology for all sorts of reasons.

Here are a few examples of what is possible today with cloud services from a cloud provider:

  • Create cloud-native applications

Quickly build, deploy and scale applications—web, mobile and API. Take advantage of [cloud-native]microservices architecture, API-driven communication and DevOps.

  • Test and build applications

Reduce application development cost and time by using cloud infrastructures that can easily be scaled up or down.

  • Store, back up and recover data

Protect your data more cost-efficiently—and at massive scale—by transferring your data over the Internet to an offsite cloud storage system that is accessible from any location and any device.

  • Analyse data

Unify your data across teams, divisions and locations in the cloud. Then use cloud services, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, to uncover insights for more informed decisions.

  • Stream audio and video

Connect with your audience anywhere, anytime, on any device with high-definition video and audio with global distribution.
*Embed intelligence

Use intelligent models to help engage customers and provide valuable insights from the data captured.

  • Deliver software on demand

Also known as software as a service (SaaS), on-demand software lets you offer the latest software versions and updates around to customers—anytime they need,
