50+ Zero & One customers in the region to digitize their businesses, El Kontar said

Cloud is taking the world by storm, with the cloud service operations skyrocketing year after year, especially with all businesses and economies moving digital.

This process of digitizing all activities leads businesses to move their data into a cloud which helps companies facilitate their work process and to provide better services to customers.

Digging into more details, companies can rent access to anything from applications to storage from a cloud service provider instead of possessing their own computing infrastructure or data centers, which will cost them dearly, that is why they would be preferring to simply pay for what they use, when they use it.

As such, there will be over 100 zettabytes of data stored in the cloud by 2025, according to Cloudwards which is a Cloud Computing Statistics firm.

“Cloud data centers will process 94 percent of all workloads in 2021, having Amazon Web Services be the largest cloud computing company in the world is Amazon Web Services,” it notes.
