Who Loves the Cloud More? Vendors, IT Pros, or Bean Counters?
June 15, 2020
Cloud systems are still considered high tech upgrades for organizations, but IT professionals prefer and view them as SOP says the IT Brief article: “Over Half Of IT Pros Prefer Hybrid And Multi-Cloud Architectures-Report.” Denodo conducted a survey and discovered that 53% of the IT professional respondents favored hybrid and multi-cloud architectures. The data is consistent with deployment statistics indicating that 42% of current cloud systems are hybrid configurations.
One of the biggest complaints from the respondents were cloud security and governance, but overall they preferred cloud because they can build up resiliency, cherry-pick features, and diversify skills.
More organizations are turning to the cloud to host their systems:
“Over the past year, there has been a positive reinforcement of cloud adoption with at least a 10% increase across beginners, intermediate, and advanced adopters.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure jointly hold a huge 90% of the new-entrant market, according to Denodo.
But users are not just lifting their on-premises applications and shifting them to either of or both of these clouds; more than a third (35%) said they would re-architect their applications for the best-fit cloud architecture.”
BI, analytics, data science, and data warehousing are top priorities for cloud developers. While cloud systems are favored, data integration poses the biggest challenge for organizations. Security is up there too. Cloud systems are perfect for the way technology is shifting to more mobile devices, but total reliance on the cloud is not advised. Outages at Amazon and IBM suggest that a hybrid system that includes on-site capabilities will protect an system when the magical Internet loses some of the 24×7 LED signs posted on the information super highway.
