CLOUD AND CYBER
With the advent of Anything-as-a- Service ( XaaS ), applications are increasingly run from remote servers . The cloud , once a repository for long-term file storage , has become a dynamic force , shipping near real time processing to offices from faraway locations . It is where data is processed on an increasingly large scale . There is no future of technology that does not have the cloud at its heart .
Simultaneously there is a broadening of localised technologies – the internet of things ( IoT ), a market estimated to be worth over $ 100 million by 2026 according to MarketsandMarkets , is already taking the manufacturing world by storm and the proliferation of sensors and data collection on premises is set to continue .
Connectivity challenge This combination presents a connectivity challenge , one of reliability and speed . And that challenge has met its equal in 5G , a technology that should be at the heart of every company ’ s cloud strategy as it forges ahead in the new era of hyperconnected .
