1. technology and computing

It is to computing
what power stations were to electricity
Factories no longer have coal-fired steam generators in their basements
to run their cotton looms. They plug into the electrical grid for unlimited,
reliable and consistent power – to maintain and grow their businesses.
Within less than a decade consumers will be plugging into the cloud for
practically all their computing needs too. We understand that resellers are
the crucial link between our infrastructure and unlocking the potential of
cloud computing to the millions of end-customers.
