Cloud Computing: Organizations Typically Use Two or More Cloud Vendors
The use of Cloud Computing continues to grow among organizations of all sizes.
An InformationWeek survey on the State of Cloud Computing in 2013 reports the following statistics:
- 66 percent of organizations are juggling between two to five different cloud providers; 79 percent use at least two vendors
- 51 percent cite the security issues as their greatest risk to using cloud services
- 33 percent have not developed single sign on across their multiple cloud services
- 21 percent of organizations accept the SLA terms as-is with no negotiation with the cloud vendor
- 19 percent say that the performance of cloud apps beats the performance of their on-premise-hosted apps
Joe Masters Emison, author of the InformationWeek report, writes that “Organizations that adopt the cloud generally aren’t going back to on-premises deployments. In other words, the cloud isn’t all hype; it does deliver. Startups, non-IT business units, consumers and the media all recognize the value. It’s painful and ironic that the biggest source of griping and inertia about the cloud are the IT departments that could benefit the most.”
