The cloud has moved resoundingly to the mainstream in recent years. One survey of almost 1,000 technical professionals found that 92 percent of organisations now use the public cloud in some way.

Using the cloud, they can bypass many of the traditional barriers to technology investment, such as the need to deploy, manage and secure infrastructure.
