150 years ago, the first transcontinental telegraph was sent, forever transforming how data was communicated.

You now have applications, social networks, file sharing, teleconferencing, music, videos, customer data, and business insights – all hosted in the cloud. Whether you are managing data at work, home, or on a mobile device, chances are that you’re both managing and communicating in the cloud.
