Are You on the Cutting Edge?

One of the most exciting and potentially profitable developments in computing and the Internet is the emergence of “Cloud Computing”.  With their valuable communications assets and massive subscriber base, the global (mobile) telecom network can tap this market and provide valuable, revenue generating cloud computing capabilities in the form of Network as a Service (NaaS).

Cloud computing is essentially the evolution of computing in which processing and data storage move away from desktop and laptop computers and back into large data centres.  Cloud Services are applications, products, and services that take advantage of Cloud Computing by hosting the primary processing or data storage in the Cloud and making them available, on demand.  Cloud Services require real-time access to the Internet, interworking with low footprint applications on users’ devices (such as browsers, email clients, widgets, etc).  The high access bandwidth that is now available within both wireline and wireless domains is one of the key enablers driving the adoption of Cloud Computing across many industry sectors.
