95% of people have used the cloud and just don't know it. That's because it's not well-understood. Cloud computing is the world of files, applications and computing resources offered to users via the Internet. Basically, any type of Web service or app that is accessed online is in the cloud.

1. EVERY DAY!
YOU USE THE CLOUD
...EVEN IF YOU DON’T KNOW IT

2. Cloud computing is the world of files, applications
and computing resources offered to users via the
Internet. Basically, any type of Web service or app
that is accessed online is in the cloud.
HEY, IT’S TRUE.
95% OF PEOPLE HAVE USED
THE CLOUD AND JUST DON’T KNOW IT.
THAT’S BECAUSE IT’S NOT WELL-UNDERSTOOD.

3. ONLINE STORAGE

4. WE’VE HEARD IT OFTEN
“So what do you do?”
“Oh! So that’s just like iCloud, right?”
“I work at a cloud computing company.”
“Well...no...”

5. STORAGE IS WHAT PEOPLE COMMONLY
THINK OF WHEN THEY HEAR “CLOUD.”
BUT EVEN SO, MANY PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND
THE BREADTH OF CLOUD STORAGE SERVICES.

6. iCLOUD IS A GREAT EXAMPLE, BUT
THERE ARE DOZENS MORE:

7. CLOUD STORAGE IS LIKE MOVING
YOUR FLASH DRIVE TO THE INTERNET.
Instead of loading up a little device with files
only to forget to bring it on your business trip when
you need it most, you probably upload your files
directly to the Internet! This includes documents,
photos, music and more. You can then access this
information from any Internet-capable device, in any
location with Internet access.

8. SOCIAL MEDIA

9. SOCIAL MEDIA IS A CLOUD-BASED
COMMUNICATION METHOD.
YUP. THAT THING YOU USE EVERY DAY TO
COMMUNICATE, STAY INFORMED, CHECK IN ON
YOUR FAVORITE CELEBS, SHARE FUNNY LINKS,
TELL THE WORLD WHAT YOU ATE FOR LUNCH...
IT’S ALL HAPPENING IN THE CLOUD.
GUESS WHAT?

10. THERE’S BEEN A MAJOR SHIFT
IN HOW PEOPLE INTERACT.
THE WORLD’S
CONVERSATIONS ARE
HAPPENING ONLINE!

11. TODAY IT’S POSSIBLE AND EASY TO
REACH EVERY CORNER OF THE GLOBE
THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS.

12. TRADITIONAL MEDIUMS ARE
STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP!
Live feeds constantly update with news or trending
topics. It’s easy for parents to keep in touch with
their college-bound students, or for grandparents
to see their grandchildren for the first time via Skype.
Companies can gain valuable insights from interactions
happening online. This is all possible because of cloud
computing.

13. BILLING...
SHOPPING...
BANKING...

14. WRITE A CHECK
PUT IT IN AN ENVELOPE
SMACK A STAMP ON IT
STICK IT IN THE MAILBOX THREE DAYS
IN ADVANCE...
OKAY, SO YOU COULD...
...ALL TO MAKE SURE YOUR
ELECTRICITY BILL IS PAID ON TIME.

15. OR...CREATE AN ONLINE ACCOUNT,
CLICK A BUTTON AND BE DONE WITH IT
- THE DAY THE BILL IS DUE!

16. WHAT DO YOU THINK PEOPLE
PREFER TODAY?
The latter! It’s easier than ever to pay your bills,
check account balances, or buy that jacket you’ve
been wanting for ages without leaving the house.
These services we’ve implemented into our lives
without a second thought are all cloud services.
They may be vastly different in purpose than social
media, but because you can access them through the
Internet to share, save or gather information, you’re
working in the cloud.

17. THAT’S NOT EVEN ALL

18. THE LIST COULD GO ON AND ON, BUT
HERE ARE MORE EXAMPLES OF CLOUD-
BASED SERVICES WE USE EVERY DAY!

19. EVEN NOTICING...
...we have implemented the cloud into our routines
of communicating, informing, working, exercising,
commuting and entertaining. The cloud already plays a
huge role in our personal, daily lives.
Imagine what would happen if you consciously used it
for your business.
