The load on cloud-based applications is at an all-time high, with people working from home accessing the same resources, simultaneously. Daytime Internet usage skyrocketed 34.4% between the regular working hours of 9AM-5PM as a result of remote work. A large portion of that online traffic accounted for video conferencing and collaboration tools. Microsoft saw a 34% increase usage of Teams while Skype reported 59 million daily active users and 4.3 million on Zoom.
