If You Build It, They Will Come

One look at QuoteColo’s cloud spending estimates, and it’s easy to see why so many companies are scrambling for market share in the space. Global cloud spending is projected to reach nearly $400 billion by 2016, including spending of $250 billion in North America alone.

Big Bytes

The amount of global cloud traffic is forecast to reach 6,500 exabytes by 2018.

Historically, one byte was equivalent to one single character of text data. Written out long-hand, 6,500 exabytes is 6,500,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes of cloud traffic.

Why Businesses Need The Cloud

According to QuoteColo founder Bob Spiegel, small and medium-sized businesses ( SMBs) will continue to embrace the cloud for one reason: their bottom lines.

“The ability to have more cash on hand caused directly by SMBs switching to cloud based technologies is something that all business owners should be happy about,” Spiegel writes.

According to a study by Rackspace Hosting, Inc. (NYSE: RAX ) of more than 1,300 companies already using cloud services, 58 percent indicated that they have seen cost savings directly tied to use of cloud technology.
