What is Cloud Computing?
(CC) is the technique of processing, storing, and managing data on a network of remote computers hosted on the internet rather than on a personal computer or local server. A pure-play cloud computing company concentrates all its efforts on a single line of business, and, as such, tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are not pure-play given their diversified business focuses.
What Is CC’s Market Size & Projected Growth?
According to a report, the cloud computing market will expand at a 17% CAGR between 2022 and 2027 which is an astronomical growth rate which should bode well for CC companies.
