About the FDP

Cloud Technology represents a fundamental shift in how we access and utilize computing resources. Instead of relying on local servers or personal devices, it delivers computing services—including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics and intelligence—over the Internet.

This on-demand availability of scalable and flexible resources offers numerous advantages. Businesses and individuals can access powerful computing capabilities without the upfront investment and ongoing maintenance of physical infrastructure. Its core principles of virtualization, scalability and accessibility are driving innovation and transforming industries across the globe, making it a critical component of today’s digital landscape.
