(11-Feb-10) Eighty-three per cent of organizations gearing up for cloud computing are planning to start with private clouds, according to a recent survey from Platform Computing Corp. Forty-five per cent are already committed to the idea and in the process of deploying private cloud initiatives.
The survey, conducted by Platform Computing at the 2009 Supercomputing Conference (SC09) in Portland, Ore., is based on responses from 95 IT executives from the research, manufacturing, government and education industries.
While enterprises are experimenting with private cloud computing, the majority are not yet ready for hybrid solutions that tap into public clouds. According to the survey, 82 per cent of organizations “do not foresee any cloud-bursting initiatives” in the next year.
