Conclusion
Cloud investments continue to rise and enterprise organizations are investing significantly more than
SMBs.
Cloud computing investments continue to be driven by lower total cost of ownership, enablement of
business continuity and speed of deployment.
Traditional as-a-service models remain significant, and theres movement towards Storage-as-aService, Monitoring-as-a-Service and Disaster Recovery as-a-Service.
Sensitivity of data and importance to business determine which applications are migrating to the cloud.
Security remains the top adoption challenge, with over half of organizations saying that vendors must
ensure their security can meet their compliance requirements.
Organizations have strong relationships with cloud vendors, but vendor support is still needed to fully
embrace cloud solutions.
