Cloud computing has been experiencing stellar growth, but the industry still has years of growth ahead of it.

The industry’s growth is attributed to the widescale adoption of various technologies, such as as AI, machine learning, big data, and more, all of which are heavily reliant on cloud computing.

In addition, there is an uptick in cloud adoption by small and medium-sized enterprises.

Cloud computing is gaining significant traction among small and medium enterprises. The SMEs are utilizing cloud computing to expand their business along with keeping the cost low and boosting the overall productivity.
