According to the survey, in the United States, roughly 6 out of every 10 companies have at least one cloud application; 71% of surveyed CIOs hope to increase their investments in cloud services in the coming year. Most respondents believe that in the short term cloud computing means high costs, but in the long run it can be considered a profitable investment.
Snyderwine, CIO at Hadgrove, Inc, an event management company, said: "Using public clouds is a way to reduce costs. Using a file-sharing online collaboration tool, in the long run, we can save more or less money. Very cost-effective. "
In fact, 84% of respondents mentioned their cloud investment business and business continuity. Snyderwine said he also wanted the cloud to be part of a continuum, such as Microsoft's Exchange, with the comfort of a fully redundant server that's very appealing.
In the survey, respondents said that the reasons for other top companies to increase cloud computing investment include the speed of cloud service deployment and the flexibility they have gained to meet market conditions and improve customer support.
Tim Walter, a CIO with a retail system, has a different reason: his company's data moves to a private cloud that wants to deliver bigger data with guaranteed consistency and integration. However, increasing the investment in the cloud poses a risk as well: 70% of respondents say security is the biggest obstacle they have to adopting cloud computing
