Cloud Computing Brings New State of the Art Data Science

The global data cloud is growing and doing so at an ever-increasing rate. In fact, it’s being predicted that the “global datasphere” is going to hit 175 zettabytes by 2025. How much is that? Enough for a few lifetimes of HD movies. Naturally, as the datasphere gets larger, so does the task of managing and securing it all.
