“With the rapid growth of new business solutions, workloads and data, more than 60 percent of enterprises will have at least half of their infrastructure and applications in the cloud by 2018.”

NOT JUST HYPE: THE CLOUD MARKET IS GROWING LIKE CRAZY

NotJustHype-Trends

THE SKIES ARE GETTING CLOUDIER
WHAT WILL CLOUD COMPUTING LOOK LIKE BY 2018?
There’s no doubt that cloud expansion will continue at a rapid pace. IDC predicts public IT cloud services will account for more than half of all storage worldwide by 2018. Cisco predicts that by the same time, more than three-fourths of all workloads will be processed in the cloud.

Within the cloud segment, public, private and hybrid cloud models are all expected to grow as more businesses realize the benefits of moving to the cloud. The private cloud is expected to have significantly more workloads than the public cloud. However, public cloud will grow faster than the private cloud. As the sensitivity to costs associated with dedicated IT resources grows along with demand for agility, adoption of public cloud by businesses will increase, especially with strengthening of public cloud security. Many enterprises will adopt a hybrid approach to cloud as they transition some workloads from internally managed private clouds to externally managed public clouds.
