The UK’s military training has become an early adopter of the cloud. As opposed to the traditional method of containing training resources in data siloes accessible only to the primary user, the cloud offers an open storage space for these resources as the technology changes the way militaries operate as a shared infrastructure that encompasses many resources, with many users, in any place, all at the same time.
According to GlobalData forecasts the global cloud services market will reach $768bn in 2026, increasing at a compound annual growth rate of 17.7% between 2021 and 2026.
