New Survey Casts Shadow On Cloud Computing Adoption
15% of corporate customers planning to use cloud in the next year.
A network world article shared results of a survey:
About 15% of corporate customers are considering cloud computing over the next year
The survey of 300 corporations worldwide found that 38% are undecided or unsure about whether they will adopt cloud services, and another 47% said they are not considering implementing cloud in the next year. Security is the biggest roadblock.
85% of corporate customers will not implement a private or public cloud in 2009 due to security concerns.
The findings may be surprising given the industry’s current obsession with cloud computing, but the numbers aren’t too far off the findings of other surveys. Forrester recently found that 25% of enterprises with at least 1,000 employees are using or plan to use hosted virtual server offerings such as Amazon EC2, and that fewer than 20% of smaller companies plan to do so.
Earlier this year, Gartner said that cloud application infrastructure technologies are not yet mature and that adoption right now is limited mostly to “pioneers and trailblazers.”

Always like to see information on Cloud Computing! Looks like Australians are starting to wake up to it too with Telstra announcing a $500m spend this week on cloud computing services.
