One of the biggest fears of organisations moving to the cloud is the challenge of latency. If the connectivity lag is too long, it can affect both the business user and the end-customer, negatively impacting the company.

The latency issues experienced when performing transactions, batch processing and reporting were having a negative effect on their user experience and business.
