In the age of the internet, more organizations are slowly transferring their data to the cloud. It was not long ago when an employee had to carry a flash drive around in case they’d have to present a report. Although some employees still use a flash drive, it was more a backup solution than a necessity.
Smart offices have become clutter-free since management can approve requests and reports with a push of a button. However, seamless collaboration between colleagues can be a challenge due to slow adoption and a lack of technical know-how.
Communication can also be a factor in making collaboration challenging to organizations. Messages are ‘left on read’ because some employees don’t know how to reply. They may also be overwhelmed by the number of messages they receive every day. You won’t know if they’ve acknowledged it unless they respond or react to the message you sent.

In the past, traditional web hosting services were the standard. However, as the internet and its associated technologies continue to change, it was only a matter of time before this would change. Today hosting companies have to combat content delivery networks or CDNs that are offered as an alternative solution.
Another thing that’s typical for the internet is that there are two sides with opposed opinions. It’s the same with web hosts and CDNs. Each side claims that their choice is better without considering the possible downsides.
Therefore, we’ve decided to put an end to this dispute and talk about the connection between these two and how they can work together.

The global cloud computing market is set to reach $623.3 billion by 2023. The cloud is the ultimate tool in building highly scalable and flexible networks that can be set up in a flash. This offers a great opportunity for businesses looking to avoid high sunk costs in setting up infrastructure or, in phasing out legacy infrastructure components. Businesses of all shapes and sizes have realized the potential of cloud computing and have either already moved the whole or part of their operations to the cloud already or are in the process of migrating.
But the cloud is a shared resource and identity management, privacy and access control will always remain areas of concern for cloud-based businesses. Managing security for vulnerabilities throughout your operations network has become a top concern for businesses, especially in the wake of COVID-19, remote work and anywhere operations. As more and more people become dependent on the web for their daily work without being physically located in the protective womb of a physical business network, vulnerabilities have risen concomitantly with highly complex attacks, such as, DDoS (distributed denial of service) and Level 7 (application layer) attacks.

Sarah, an associate employed with EduWorldUSA, says that with the global pandemic of COVID-19, the entire dynamics of how we communicate, work, and collaborate with people has changed. A lot of government, private, and public-sector companies have made it a mandatory requirement for their employees to strictly work from home.
