Five key study findings on enterprise cloud computing migration among 97 medium to large enterprise IT buyers Cloud computing adoption among medium to large enterprises is now widespread Cloud segments have demographic trends Cloud model preferences and vendors vary by segment Project priorities vary by segment Enterprises will rapidly deploy more cloud solution in coming year Nearly 90% of responding enterprises use of plan to use some type of cloud computing solution; the market is comprise d of 19% Cloud Pros who have multiple clouds, 59% Pioneers who use or test a cloud, 12% Planners who intend to deploy and 10% Stragglers who have no plans. Cloud Pros and Pioneers tend to be very large enterprises in banking/finance, manufacturing, higher education, or business services; while Planners and Stragglers are smaller and in government, healthcare and heavy industries. Pros use every type of cloud, with most common being public cloud (91%) & least common is hybrid (45%); Pioneers use internal private cloud (56%) & PaaS (46%); 83% of Pros use AWS data center, contrasted with 28% of Pioneers, who mostly use traditional IBM & Verizon. Cloud Pros implement network-related projects to prepare for Cloud and Pioneers improve storage and security. About or greater than 70% of Pros add LAN bandwidth, WAN bandwidth and WAN optimization, while about 70% of Pioneers add SANs, NAS and encryption. Percentage of IT in the cloud estimates are slightly higher in 2012 than in 2011. Pros expect to increase cloud as a percentage of IT from about 28% to 38% in the next 3 years, while Pioneers hope to more than doubles its percent of IT in the cloud from nearly 15% to 33%.
