Adopting cloud architecture still sounds like a futuristic move. But in fact, most brands have already unknowingly made the switch from on-premise to cloud. Meanwhile, there’s a whole bunch of companies who are still keeping all their data and servers on a physical server somewhere in the basement. Embracing the cloud is extremely crucial for brands, especially in the IoT-era. And like it or not, cloud computing is here to stay.

Research firm IDC predicts IT expenditure for private and public cloud will eclipse spending on traditional data centers by 2020. The firm predicts that public cloud will account for 31.68% and private cloud will account for 19.82%, which totals to more than a half (51.5%).
