Today’s workforce is increasingly mobile. The traditional office job is evolving. Whether working in the field, traveling or telecommuting, the need for reliable, secure, and highly available access to work resources and data is growing. With the proliferation of affordable high-speed networks, Wi-Fi coverage and mobile devices, employees are able to work and be productive from virtually anywhere.

Enter the world of cloud computing. More and more businesses are moving away from the traditional IT infrastructure of purchasing servers, managing expensive licensing, and storing applications and data on local workstations by transitioning to a cloud platform. Cloud computing is challenging the classic IT infrastructure model by completely changing the way you store information and run applications. Instead of installing software and saving data on an individual workstation, everything is hosted on servers in the cloud and accessed via the Internet.
