This type of organization began to be detected in 2006 under the name of “start-ups”, when Amazon Web Services came onto the market and thousands of small and medium-sized companies panama number dataset able to store data in the cloud at a variable cost instead of having to put high investments into their CAPEX accounts to maintain their own data centers.
