For 69% of the near 250 IT professionals quizzed by business process automation firm PMG, the hybrid cloud is the “wave of the future within their organizations”.
The most important reason for adopting hybrid clouds, according to 38% of respondents, was that cloud apps were deployed faster. Delivering better value (21%), and being able to meet requirements more easily (10%) were the next most popular suggestions.
Elsewhere, the survey touched on more general cloud trends. Only 18% of respondents said they weren’t going to procure more cloud services in the next 18-24 months, while more than three in five (64%) agreed that BYOD equaled corporate cloud usage.
A good cloud survey, hybrid cloud or otherwise, is rarely without a question on cloudy security threats, and this report is no different – in this instance, data security (79%) was clearly seen as the biggest storm cloud threatening IT.
Compliance (57%), network security (55%), loss of control (51%) and unmanaged applications (48%) comprised the top five. In something of a pleasing development, cost worries finished a miserable third last, with 31% citing it.
But what do you think? Are all companies going to be utilizing a hybrid cloud solution before long?
