It first off explains that the cloud stored information using the Internet rather than using hardware that is an external use for storage. The article states that for consumers or small business' they regularly rely on just the basic Internet to keep track of their information. Larger companies go through an application, which is what they use to store their information. It is still a cloud, but not accessed by millions. The article states that McKinsey & Company survey companies in North America and collected data stating that 80% of large companies are looking to start using the cloud. It continues to say that the cloud market is on its way to generating $100 billion a year.
