Cloud computing – the delivery of sophisticated information technology capabilities over the internet – could play a crucial role in both innovation and efficiency and hence sustainable development.
Data centers are rising across Africa – and cloud companies are taking charge of creating them. What’s especially useful about cloud computing is that companies or organizations don’t need to own computing infrastructure or data centers. Instead, they can rent access to compute, storage, network and applications, among other things, from a cloud service provider. This allows them to get access to sophisticated capabilities on demand. And they don’t have to spend a great deal of money building and maintaining IT infrastructure on-site.
