CIOs and senior IT professionals in Global 2000 firms are ready to embrace private or enterprise Cloud Computing strategically.
Here are four key indicators of that trend:
-- Cloud Computing was selected as one of the highest priorities for spending within the next 6-18 months according to a survey conducted by CIOsynergy this month.
-- Gartner Cloud Services Report 2009-2014 says one of the biggest changes in the last year is CIOs interest in adopting Cloud Computing strategically.
-- The U.S. federal government's CIO office, led by Federal CIO Vivek Kundra, has established a new joint authorization board for Cloud Computing.
-- Next year promises to be a big one for private Cloud adoption, according to a 2010 IDC APEF client survey, where savvy CIOs will use the Cloud as an extension of their sourcing strategies and have a mix of public and private Clouds under the enterprise portfolio.
Comment by Gartner senior analyst Ben Pring: One notable change versus one year ago in the Cloud Services Report is that CIOs and progressive IT leaders are embracing Cloud strategically. The key next step is for companies to create an enterprise roadmap that outlines how they plan to leverage Cloud services.
Comment by Pete Malcolm, Abiquo CEO: We are clearly seeing an upswing in interest in private Cloud adoption. But CIOs still need a partner like Abiquo to help them successfully implement an integrated enterprise Cloud management solution that will work across their global enterprise, which is why we believe the CIOsynergy networking and learning forums are ideal next steps for any CIO who is ready to embrace enterprise Cloud Computing.
