Eighty-nine percent of respondents to a recent survey of more than 200 IT professionals at large enterprises said that private clouds as the next logical stop for organizations already using virtualization.
And 93 percent feel private cloud platforms should offer a management framework that can span a heterogeneous infrastructure.
In addition, 91 percent of survey respondents note concern about the inherent security risks public clouds present.
The survey was conducted by Harris Interactive and sponsored by Novell, which recently unveiled Cloud Manager, a solution that enables customers to create and securely manage a cloud computing environment as a seamless extension of existing data center resources.
Comment from Fred Broussard, research director, PC, Device and IT Service Management Software at IDC: The phenomenal adoption of virtualization technologies within the data center has solved many IT problems, but has also made it easy for rapid proliferation of individual virtual machines that consume the finite available physical resources at a very rapid pace. What today's changing IT environments demand is a practical solution that will help deliver on the promise of utility computing and attain the ROI benefits of virtualization - products that create and manage cloud environments by provisioning whole IT services, comprised of one or more workloads, in a controlled, secure and compliant way.
