The History of ‘True’ Cloud

The history of ‘true’ cloud (Public cloud) started as a cost saving exercise. However, over time businesses have grasped onto the concept that they can again be at the top of their game by adopting one of three ‘true’ cloud types.

• Software as a Service (SaaS) — Software licensed on a subscription basis
• Platform as a Service (PaaS) — Develop, run, and manage applications
• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) — Provides shared processing resources

‘True’ Cloud Leaders

• Microsoft (Azure)
• Amazon (AWS)
• Google (Google Cloud)

With these 3 players driving the cloud world, this ‘true’ cloud world can only get better year-after-year, and for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to be on par technically with larger businesses.
