Millions of students and employees have been sent home to work. The connection between these at-home workers and their organizations is increasingly being facilitated by the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andres Rodriguez<\/a>, CTO and co-founder of Nasuni, said that<\/a> “I don\u2019t think any of us anticipated this situation, where the infrastructure is intact but physically inaccessible because everyone is isolating themselves at home.

The sudden change in working habits has created a spike in cloud usage. For example, Microsoft reports that their cloud usage increased by 775 percent<\/a> compared to pre-COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any organization that actively resisted digitalization is now confronted with a harsh reality. This puts cloud providers in a strong position.”<\/p>\n
