Systems and software installed on computers operating exclusively in a local, confined environment have become obsolete. In the last decade, business and work environments have changed.
Behind all this movement are Cloud solutions from big players such as Huawei, AWS, Microsoft or Google.
The crisis of 2020 accelerated these changes: the way we shop, how we educate and work; and although medical solutions have brought us back to a certain normality, many of these acquired patterns will prevail over time.
It was cloud computing, cloud solutions and cloud services that allowed many companies to continue to operate during the harshest of confinement.
The cloud is the future and market trends prove it. According to the official website of the European Commission, of the grand total of companies in the area in 2021 more than 41% use environments, applications and services in the cloud.
Globally, according to Statista figures, more than 60% of corporate data and systems in 2022 will be in the cloud, a share that was less than 30% five years ago.
These are reasons to consider investing in cloud solutions and services and today at NU Tech we offer a brief introduction to the portfolio of one of the largest global Cloud manufacturers: Huawei.
Huawei Cloud has a specialized catalog by sector or industry, here the Huawei solutions for eCommerce.
