Cloud Services stories - Page 210
Over the last decade the IT world has seen a mass transition from in-house computer assets to everything-as-a-service in the cloud, with hardware, platform and services now all commonly cloud-resident.

The current direction of travel is to multi-cloud deployment, seen as providing greater flexibility, specialisation and security.
