More CIOs and CTOs are choosing to architect and deploy hybrid multi-cloud computing environments in 2017. The trend is being driven by growing demand to support digital transformation projects that are led by the C-suite. <\/p>\n
Newly released results from the CloudView Survey 2017 reveal the top drivers of cloud adoption - include improving agility and security, as well as standardising IT infrastructure. <\/p>\n
As multi-cloud environments and hybrid cloud become more prevalent, the survey revealed that 87 percent of cloud users have adopted some capabilities for a hybrid cloud strategy - that's an increase of 17 percent compared to 2016, according to the latest market study by International Data Corporation (IDC). <\/p>\n
\"Beyond adoption and maturity, a series of questions on 'why are' or 'why aren't' respondents moving more workloads to the cloud makes up a key part of the study,\" said Benjamin McGrath, senior research analyst at IDC. <\/p>\n
Additional findings from the study include: <\/p>\n
\"When we look at the shift in IT spend over the next 12-24 months to more of a mix of multiple types of cloud deployments, we see each type of organisation take a different journey,\" added McGrath. <\/p>\n
The study gathers data on the journey to cloud and how it differs by vertical and micro-vertical by country, by company size, company age, and by job title. <\/p>\n
What industry-specific projects are moving to the cloud? What are end-users looking for from their vendors in each country? How will all that change over time? <\/p>\n
CloudView 2017 encompasses thousands of surveys from line-of-business cloud buyers and IT operations staff on cloud adoption rates, trends, and attitudes. <\/p>\n
Survey respondents are from more than 6,000 organisations worldwide, all of whom are current users of cloud services. <\/p>\n
To gain a complete picture of potential cloud customers along the journey, data is also collected from respondents at organisations who are not currently utilising cloud. <\/p>\n
