Cloud
Speed, agility and efficiency are key attributes that have taken cloud computing to the masses, with over 90% of US enterprises now utilizing a cloud environment. These clouds go well beyond development testing and recovery environments as the vast majority of enterprises have adopted cloud environments to run their mission-critical applications and workloads.
While cloud has certainly gone mainstream, it still carries its fair share of customer challenges. According to 451 Group, the top customer concerns about adopting cloud environments are around security and compliance, complexity, and determining the appropriate cloud fit for their application workload – be it private, public, multi-tenant or hybrid cloud.
