The technological advancement is one of the major reason for the growth of cloud services that has given a new aspect to the technical world. For instance, the connected world is generating a good deal of data that requires maintenance as well as strong security measures and all of that is possible with high-performance servers. The onset of Internet of Things (IoT) was a turning point for the technology world. As user are looking for more connected devices such as smartphones, smart cars, smart appliances, experts predict that by 2020, we'll have nearly 20 billion IoT devices.
