Cloud is no longer a fringe strategy.
Mainstream, and hybrid IT will be the preferred method of consumption. Organizations are adopting cloud at a rampant pace. Gartner estimates that globally, end-user organizations spent nearly $152 billion on public cloud services in 2014.
Adoption has moved far beyond using cloud for development, testing and non critical business functions. While security and risk are still a concern, production workloads are becoming more common, and cloud services are proving to be a very viable deployment model.
Spending on SaaS is outpacing spending on on-premises enterprise application software, and growth in business process as a service (BPaaS) is outpacing growth in business process outsourcing. Available cloud services are proliferating, and Gartner surveys show that organizations are dealing with more complex solutions with services from a higher number of vendors, a trend that is largely the result of increased cloud adoption.
