Over the last couple of months, we reached out to CIOs, CTOs, cloud users, and web developers on Twitter to ask them what they thought about the cloud.

The public cloud has expanded into a worldwide businesses venture, allowing enterprises to leverage the power of the cloud from the tip of Australia to the heart of Europe.

Media Temple has made it a mission to provide enterprises and the agencies that serve them with premium cloud and web hosting solutions so they can focus on their businesses and not spend critical time in their servers.

The flexibility and the power of the cloud has allowed it to take a variety of strategic roles for enterprises.

The leading force in the cloud marketplace, Amazon Web Services provides a collection of 40+ cloud infrastructure services that allow users to “rent” computing resources, which can easily be scaled up or down depending on their needs.

Make no mistake: A cloud migration is never a straightforward process. There are pitfalls both in plain sight and waiting in the shadows that can surprise even the most prepared teams.

Nando’s is a South African restaurant, well known for its peri-peri sauce and Portuguese-style chicken, that is entering its 30th year with over 1,000 restaurants in 30 different countries.

Cloud computing’s roots go back to the start of the computer age, when the shared access mainframes of the 70s and 80s laid its foundation.

OpenStack has been on the tip of the tongue of so many players in the infrastructure world for the better part of this decade.

In what appears to be a common trend in 2017, cloud-based companies have found a burgeoning market of European enterprises who need access to zippy software and technology.

Amazon Web Services has held the top spot in the cloud industry for years. RightScale's 2017 State of the Cloud report found that 57 percent of businesses have adopted AWS for their cloud needs, beating out both Azure and Google.
