Cloud Computing: Businesses Prefer Hybrid Cloud Approach with strong Private Cloud Component

By Dick Weisinger

As businesses move towards a cloud architecture, private clouds appear to have the edge.  While businesses said that internal cloud solutions were their preference, 80 percent said that they’re considering adopting a hybrid cloud approach.  The Open Data Center Alliance (ODCA) surveyed their members in late 2014 to track adoption of the cloud services.

Other results from the ODCA cloud adoption survey are as follows:

  • Nearly two-thirds of businesses expect 40 percent or more of their operations to be in a private cloud by next year
  • Businesses are showing greater interest in private cloud infrastructure rather than public clouds
  • Businesses say that they’re keenly interested in software-defined networks (SDN) and hybrid cloud solutions
  • When businesses do move to a private cloud, a majority move more than half of their services
