Web application development isn’t necessarily the only applicability of the cloud. There is plenty of demand for using the cloud as storage and workplace utilities rather than as a platform to build. While neither Adobe nor Dropbox have a particularly large share in the cloud market, they have still carved out their niche among content creators – such as photographers and 3D artists – with some potential for office spaces. Having the ability to easily share files with coworkers wherever they are located is incredibly important.

Benefits of Cloud Computing
There are significant benefits an organization can experience from moving many of their operations to the cloud from cut costs to avoiding the loss of data. Despite the increasing number of organizations looking to adopt cloud computing into their business operations and what can be accomplished, only a handful of companies have adopted the technology even after over a decade’s existence. With time, this is something that we aim to gradually rectify.
IBM Cloud vs. Oracle
The Cloud is largely dominated by Amazon, Microsoft, and Google at the time of writing with Alibaba still far off but looking to make gains in the near future. That being said, even tech giants like Oracle and IBM have mostly fallen by the wayside compared to their purported contemporaries in the race to produce cloud solutions. Not that these options will outright harm an organization’s ability in the cloud, but there are some risk factors that are worth considering.
Microsoft Azure vs. Alibaba Cloud
Microsoft and Google may be some of the biggest names struggling to overtake Amazon’s dominance of the cloud service market, but they aren’t the only names. Since 2009, Alibaba has had its own cloud computing platform with ventures into ecommerce data mining and processing and currently stands as the fifth largest company in artificial intelligence development. For now, we’ll be comparing Alibaba with some of its more immediate competition to put things into proper perspective.
AWS vs. Google Cloud
Among the tech titans who currently provide cloud services is Google. While they’re far from the biggest, the experience they have with search engines and machine learning makes them viable in the face of Amazon’s prolonged dominance within the field. That said, there are good reasons for picking either one over the other depending on what a client hopes to achieve and what financial resources they have available.
Building Networks as a Service with Secure Gateways
Networks as a Service (NaaS) are network services that are rented out over the cloud. This can save organizations on funding and resources that would otherwise have gone towards maintaining infrastructure and lets them put all the requirements for maintenance out of house. All that said, there are more than enough ways any data coming in or out of the cloud can be compromised. These are some critical tools that could help in the construction of NaaS.
Creating a Robust Data-Driven Platform
Gathering data and applying it towards business operations is going to be critical going forward. Plenty of companies have already caught onto that trend and have put forward their own spins on data streamlining services that lets users seamlessly gather data from various streams securely and combine it into various spreadsheets and UIs in a way that minimizes risk, is cost effective, and lets users innovate faster. The following tools power some of the best power your web applications.
Amazon Web Services vs. Microsoft Azure
Cloud computing is already gaining popularity and offers a degree of financial levity and reduced downtime from maintenance. The bigger tech companies present already recognize that potential and have established their own solutions for offer. This article aims to give some insight to the two biggest competitors as well as how the two compare to each other.
What is AWS Quicksight?
There is plenty of data floating around regarding operational functionality that will have a knock-on effect for the rest of the organization. Amazon’s Quicksight aims to provide all members with the data they need when they need it in order to best make the decisions that will push the rest of the organization forward. This cloud-based service can distribute among organization members information that’s not only easy to read, but in a timely manner to all levels.
AWS Cloud Computing Capabilities
Maintaining IT infrastructure is a painstaking, expensive venture with more than enough ways that the hardware can fail. But what if you didn’t have to? AWS provides this infrastructure to rent so that you can still run your applications and services without worrying about upkeep.
