Security remains a top

concern
Not really a surprise but the
security concerns about cloud and
in particular public cloud remain.
Organizations find the speed,
agility and convenience of the
public cloud very appealing but
despite all of those advantages,
the uncertainty that the use of
public cloud creates drives many
to rate security as a top concern
(46%).

Despite Security Being a

Top Concern
A surprisingly high number of
organizations (28%) reported not
using encryption in their public
cloud deployments.

believe that existing approaches
would work for existing or future
cloud deployments.

No worries about jobs

Early on job security in IT was a
concern for those moving to the
cloud. Now 83% report that cloud
moves will either enhance or not
impact job security.

In-House vs Cloud
Security
A slim majority is more concerned
about cloud security than in-house
security. This debate is probably
similar to feelings of safety related
to flying vs driving.

Hybrid Cloud
A more solid majority is planning
some sort of hybrid cloud effort.

Single vs Multivendor
Single vendor solutions are a holy
grail to IT groups as they present
IT with a single throat to choke in
event of trouble instead of
multivendor fingerpointing. Reality
is that various business/application
requirements will likely end up
driving multivendor approaches.
