2: Clouds for Everyone
Cloud computing:
Storing and accessing data
and programs over the
Internet instead of your
computer's hard drive
37. Serco Internal
The Cloud provides ‘on demand’
Stores your content in the cloud and wirelessly
pushes all of it to your other devices that you are
logged into……
Current estimate.. by the end of 2013, more than
75% of UK businesses will be using cloud services.

cloud.
