Cloud computing
technology is one of the most significant, and most disruptive technologies
that have sprung up in the past few decades, as it managed to redefine what is
possible and how much said possibility costs. It is largely responsible for a
lot of companies that didn’t have the budget for entire server farms to have
the same capability at a more manageable cost. It also allowed many end-users
to extend their systems’ capability in terms of software and hardware via the
cloud, and nowadays it has become ubiquitous to the point that everybody is
using it to some degree. For instance, if you’re using a webmail from Google or
Yahoo, the storage space you are using is cloud-based.
However, Cloud technology is still in the process of evolution, as
the technology is being constantly improved and remodeled by various companies.
Of these companies, here are the ten most influential, and the reason why:
- Nebula
- VMware
- Red Hat
