Cloud computing is becoming increasingly important with the virtualization and improvement of technologies, HP Azerbaijan head Rufat Hajibeyov told Trend .
According to the company official, "cloud" computing is not yet popular in Azerbaijan, but will become so in the nearest future.
Virtualization is a standard data center technology ensuring business continuity. Cloud computing has become popular among large- and medium-sized businesses across the globe due to its flexibility. The cloud computing's main advantage is that there is no need to purchase servers requiring special software to run applications and pay staff.
Cloud computing also allows business owners to save money by paying for actual resource use.
Many leading global companies such as T-mobile, Philips, and the UK and U.S. governments have already switched to cloud technology.
At a user level, many people use "cloud" services, such as online interpreters and image searches in Google.
