Available anytime and capable of being run from anywhere, cloud computing provides a perfect solution to operational challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. With public and hybrid cloud use rising across every sector, dramatically increased uptake of cloud technology quickly became one of the more benign changes brought about this year.

For everything from data storage to critical applications, the cloud is the first and often the only option many companies consider.

After the past decade of cloud adoption, according to 451 Research, 90 percent of all organizations are using cloud technology and 60 percent of all IT workloads are conducted in the cloud.
