focusing primarily on IaaS and PaaS, while the public cloud instead focuses on SaaS. \u00a0But both are seeing huge growth. \u00a0A\u00a0<a title=\"Computerworld on Synergy Research\"

growth, by 2018, almost 70% of cloud workloads will still be private cloud-related, requiring the ability of workloads to bridge across a hybrid private\/public cloud environment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another finding of the Cisco report is that by 2018, 53 percent of all global residential Internet users will have personal cloud storage, and the average consumer cloud storage traffic per user will be 811 megabytes per month by 2018, compared to 186 megabytes per month in 2013.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div class=\"lightsocial_element\"><a
