Revisiting UnitedLayer’s Productive 2021

We have all experienced how the Covid19 pandemic has reformed the way organizations operate and work. The rise in remote workers who use conferencing and collaborative services puts pressure on back-end support services and increases traffic on networks that link users to these services. It’s now inevitable that cloud computing is no longer a “nice-to-have” infrastructure but a “must-have” one to make businesses scalable and resilient enough to handle this increased demand. Cloud underlies and accelerates the technology adoption required to fulfill these new scale demands in industries ranging from healthcare to retail, ensuring that organizations can efficiently sustain these efforts in the future.

As a company that focuses on aiding companies to be cloud-ready, we witnessed several notable achievements. Let’s have a look at our 2021 highlights.
