July 20164Among the wonderful babies that technology has deliv-ered till date, Cloud is one spectacle that has caught everyone's eye. While the biggies like Amazon, IBM, Microsoft, Google and others capture a huge market of cloud, startups too have emerged to eat the small leftover of the cake and even snatch some from the biggies through their extra-ordinary offerings and way of service. Their niche focus on SMEs and fellow young entrepreneurs have lured the fraternity to walk to them for services. With competition becoming tough, their approach and innovation level has surpassed many big companies, leading to acquisition of these startups by big corporates under greater cloud strategies. For instance, Knowlarity acquiring Smartwards, CenturyLink gulping ElasticBox, Cisco taking up Piston Cloud Computing, Microsoft eating Adallom, and several others made the headlines in the recent years. Whether it is cloud-based test automation platform or cutting-edge cloud computing solutions, web-based cloud computing, IaaS, SaaS, PaaS, utility services, managed services or service commerce amongst several others, cloud has always emerged as the savior for enterprises, especially SMEs and the startups who bore the brunt of having to deal with poor tech choices for years due to financial constraints. Even big organizations who have adopted cloud quite early are reaping huge benefits like increased efficiency, improved cash flow, flexibility, disaster recovery, automatic software updates, capital expenditure free, increased collaboration, work from anywhere and several others.
