Cloud computing is a type of Internet-based computing that provides shared computer processing resources and data to computers and other devices on demand. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g. computer networks, servers, storage, applications and services), which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort.
It is predicted that the cloud market will reach over $3 billion by 2018 in India— an almost five-fold increase from 2012. Cloud computing will transform the way business is done. Small to medium sized businesses (SMBs) will directly be benefited across the country. This sector employs 40 per cent of the workforce and is growing at a rate of 8 per cent per year.
According to Zinnov, leading consulting company, the cloud computing market in India is expected to reach $4.5 billion by end of 2017 with most users being SMBs.
