Building future systems with cloud

IF YOU ran a global enterprise, would you be confident enough to migrate 200 servers and your business-critical Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to a public cloud?

In 2018, that was what Del Monte Foods did, and the move paid off handsomely. In less than four months, the company cut its information technology (IT) spending costs by 35 per cent, increased operating efficiencies, and was able to roll out IT support to its staff in less than an hour -- when it used to take weeks.

Examples like this illustrate why cloud computing - the availability of platforms, system resources and next-generation technologies on-demand - has become the mainstay of enterprise IT for many forward-looking businesses around the globe.
