Cloud Solutions
The term “cloud computing” in its modern context was first heard on August 9, 2006, when then Google CEO Eric Schmidt introduced the term to an industry conference.

A private cloud deployed on technology that is hosted in you company’s building gives you all the benefits of public cloud without the worries around security. Many highly regulated organisations choose a private cloud to meet legislative data security requirements, healthcare for example.
