Diploma in Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is a term that is used for on-demand delivery of hosted services and resources such as data storage, software, computing power, etc. over the internet. It is the most valuable innovation of the 21st century. Cloud provides an efficient and sustainable way of doing business in comparison to the traditional IT solutions.
