The vast majority of companies are migrating apps to virtual environments and APM vendors are revamping their products accordingly, a new study has found.
Summary of findings:
Ninety-six percent of survey respondents run at least some applications in on-premise virtualized environments; of those, 62 percent are extending their APM tools into those virtualized environments.
Nearly 60 percent of respondents run some apps in the public cloud--which can mean limited access to critical APM data.
Respondents are divided about vendors' cloud-related offerings: 49 percent of respondents currently using APM say the lack of adequate APM tools is a barrier to cloud services adoption; 42 percent say it's not.
HP is the leading APM vendor, with 53 percent market share, followed by IBM (35 percent) and CA (23 percent).
Respondents who don't use APM cited lack of in-house expertise in APM systems (50 percent), product expense (41 percent) and staff time to implement (32 percent) as the top three reasons.
75 percent of respondents not currently using APM say they're open to evaluating APM tools in the future -- the growing body of APM trialware and freeware is likely to appeal to them.
Comment from Lorna Garey, content director of InformationWeek Analytics: No doubt we'll see more apps being moved to public or private clouds, but that doesn't mean you just send them off and hope for the best. Most companies still need some form of APM to stay on top of things, and to get the right metrics for the business and its partners. They also need guidance in choosing and using the tools that fit best into their overall operational strategies.
About the report: Michael Biddick, president and CTO of Fusion PPT and an authority on operational management, ITIL and APM, wrote the report for InformationWeek Analytics, a subscription-based service offering peer-based technology research. The company polled 379 business technology professionals in its 2010 Application Performance Management Survey to find out how organizations are updating their APM strategies in context of virtualization and cloud computing. The report is titled "Application Performance Management: Reaching for the Clouds."

Enterprise Adoption of Private Clouds Is Widespread And Accelerating
Adoption of cloud computing has been much broader than has been suggested by previous research, and shows accelerating momentum behind developing private cloud infrastructures, new research reveals. Cloud computing, both public and private, will be an increasing part of the mix of resources deployed by enterprise IT organizations, and that companies are particularly interested in simplifying management across their integrated physical, virtual and cloud environments.
Cloud adoption is a focus for many enterprise organizations. But the question remains, what is the best way to leverage the power of cloud computing, maximizing efficiency gains and cost savings while minimizing risk? Seventy-seven percent report using some form of cloud computing today, much higher than previously reported.
Other key findings tied to cloud adoption include:
-- Private clouds are the next logical step for organizations already implementing virtualization, according to 89 percent of the respondents.
-- 34 percent are using a mixed approach of private and public cloud computing, with 43 percent planning to increase their use of the combined approach.
-- 87 percent believe public cloud computing adoption will occur alongside of, instead of replacing, company-owned data centers, with 92 percent indicating an increase in public cloud use as current IT platforms are replaced.
-- 31 percent find that a key benefit to private cloud computing is the ability to manage a heterogeneous infrastructure.
Security is a leading barrier to cloud computing adoption, with 83 percent feeling private cloud computing offers most of the advantages of public cloud computing (freedom from maintaining hardware, lower cost upkeep, resource scalability, lower initial costs) without the security and compliance issues of the public cloud.
Additional findings include:
-- Ninety-one percent are concerned about security issues in the public cloud, with 50 percent indicating security as the primary barrier to implementation.
-- Eighty-six percent believe data is more secure in a private cloud.
-- Seventy-six percent of those surveyed feel outside vendors are not as diligent about data security as internal IT departments.
-- Difficulty maintaining regulatory policy compliance in the public cloud versus that of the private cloud was an issue for 81 percent of respondents.
Comment from Jim Ebzery, senior vice president and general manager of Security, Management and Operating Platforms at Novell: The survey results are telling. The path to public cloud computing needs to begin with the private cloud, learning to leverage the public cloud within the safety of the enterprise network. Despite these concerns, enterprises are moving forward with cloud computing - whether in a private cloud, public cloud or in a hybrid cloud environment.
About the survey: Novell sponsored the Harris Interactive survey of more than 200 IT leaders, primarily IT director and above, at large enterprises organizations (2,500-20,000+ employees).

Cloud Computing Adoption Among SMBs Is Following Outsourcing Trends
While use of Cloud services varies by size of SMB, the pattern of adoption appears to follow a previously observed pattern related to adoption of outsourcing, a survey has found. In both cases, rather than seeing greater adoption with business size, adoption rises and falls as businesses first use Cloud services then as they grow they attempt to bring solutions in-house and use Cloud services again in order to support growth.
The inflection point for adoption occurs at 20 employees. Small businesses with 20-99 employees typically expand their use of Cloud services and appear to maintain that level of usage until they hit 250 employees. At this level, SMBs begin to bring services back in-house as IT investments rise. Adoption of Cloud services rises sharply again as SMBs exceed 500 employees.
When looked at as a single group, SMBs are largely adopting some core infrastructure applications and applications specific to their industry. Security and additional storage appear to be the most popular applications along with industry specific applications and hosted email. The picture is substantially different for MBs (100-999 employees) and SBs (1-99 employees) taken separately. Mid-market businesses display a greater willingness to adopt hosted infrastructure and platform solutions than small businesses. Very small businesses' (<10 employees) use of Cloud services is characterized largely by Industry specific applications and Cloud storage services.
Conclusion: Mid market firms are a better target for hosted platforms and infrastructure-as-a-service solutions.

Cloud Email Users Are More Likely To Connect Via Smartphones
Half of the employees at the small and medium-sized businesses that the company supports use smartphones to access their email. This is in contrast to a recent survey Intermedia conducted with Harris Interactive, which found that only 38 percent of small and medium-sized business workers use smartphones. Cloud-based email users are more likely to access email from smartphones because of specifically-designed email syncing capabilities that mirror the desktop email experience.
Other interesting smartphone stats from Intermedia's small and medium-sized customer-base include:
-- iPhone users are the "most chatty," sending more outgoing messages on average per day than BlackBerry or Android users.
-- Android users are the "most popular," receiving more overall messages on average per day than BlackBerry or iPhone users.
-- Roughly 95 percent of the companies that Intermedia supports have at least one smartphone activated.
-- Most users, 75 percent, choose Active Sync-based devices including the iPhone and Android.
About the survey: Statistics were determined by measuring Intermedia's overall network traffic. No specific user or account action/email was reviewed. The Harris Interactive survey was conducted online within the United States on behalf of Intermedia from June 3-7, 2010 among 2,071 adults ages 18 and older. This online survey is not based on a probability sample and therefore no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.

Cloud Computing Momentum Builds Despite Uncertainties
Investments in cloud computing solutions and services are poised to increase in the next 12 months as opportunities for information technology (IT) channel companies and their customers come into clearer focus, according to new research from CompTIA.
Seventy-two percent of end-user organizations surveyed plan to expand the number and types of cloud computing services they use over the next 12 months. Nearly two-thirds of end users (64 percent) plan to increase their investment in cloud solutions by more than 5 percent in the coming year. Similarly, more than half of IT channel organizations surveyed plan to boost their investment in cloud computing by 10 percent or more in the next 12 months.
From the customer perspective, the transition to cloud computing is accelerating because of a desire to reduce capital expenditures (cited by 85 percent of end user respondents) and to drive down costs (84 percent). Customers also expressed a desire to add new capabilities not available in current IT models as a reason to move to cloud computing. It was cited by 81 percent of end users surveyed, and offers up a compelling reason for channel providers to sell cloud services as a value-added solution, not simply a way to cut customer IT costs.
Medium-sized businesses with between $10 million and $99.9 million in annual revenues are the most aggressive users of cloud computing. The study finds that nearly two-thirds (64 percent) of medium-sized businesses report involvement with cloud computing. That compares to 36 percent of small companies (less than $10 million in sales) and 58 percent of larger firms ($100 million and above in revenue).
Demand for cloud computing isn't a given, however. The study identifies a number of challenges that end users cite during adoption, including difficulty integrating cloud solutions with existing IT systems and the painful transition away from legacy systems. Likewise, the channel has experienced obstacles along the way, mainly internally focused issues such as shouldering initial start-up costs associated with cloud computing and determining the right revenue model. And yet, both constituencies are forging on.
Looking ahead, cloud-based business productivity applications and document and content management solutions are high atop end users' shopping lists for the coming year. Forty percent of end users report plans to look to the cloud for business productivity applications and 38 percent identified document and content management services as a priority purchase. Other cloud services end users intend to buy in the next 12 months include security (35 percent), storage (35 percent) and general purpose services (35 percent).
More than half of end users surveyed say they will make their purchases from a third-party cloud services provider, defined as a value-added reseller, solution provider or other channel organization. Even more encouraging for IT channel companies, customers with the heaviest investment plans for the cloud over the next year overwhelming cite the channel as their source -- 60 percent of them versus 40 percent that say they will seek out a vendor.
Comment from Carolyn April, director, industry analysis, CompTIA: Clearly there is growing momentum behind cloud computing, evidenced by climbing adoption rates and greater awareness. But cloud computing adoption is still nascent. The year ahead will be one of evaluation, trial and error and, most importantly, opportunity as the market sorts through the role IT channel companies will play, best business models, sales and marketing strategies and most relevant technologies. The good news for IT channel companies is that customers want to use them as a source for their cloud computing solutions, more so than vendors, consultants or self-service options. The smart solution provider will become the de facto expert on the benefits the cloud can bring; not just cost-savings, but ways that moving IT to the cloud can advance their customers' business objectives.
The CompTIA study "Cloud Computing: Pulling Back the Curtain" is the result of an online survey of 542 U.S.-based IT end-user customers, influencers and solution providers conducted between June 29 and July 13.

Use Of Cloud Services Begins To Impact SMB ICT Shipments
U.S. small and medium-size businesses (SMBs) are rapidly increasing their use of cloud services, which is beginning to reduce their need for on-premise information and communications technology (ICT) equipment and is also allowing them more flexibility in the types of mobile devices they use. This, in turn, is beginning to affect the demand patterns for on-premise ICT hardware like servers, storage & networking as well client devices like notebooks, smartphones, netbooks and tablets, according to AMI research on the adoption of cloud services by SMBs in a dozen countries.
SMBs' cloud adoption patterns vary greatly in terms of types of applications and services reflecting their varying levels of comfort with the new paradigm.
Broadly, AMI's analysis shows demand shifts in three areas. While the overall SMB server shipments are still growing, these are driven significantly by first-time server buyers, who need it for improving their productivity as well as replacements and upgrades by SMBs who had delayed their purchases due to the economic environment over the last couple of years. However, with the growth of hosted cloud services, SMBs no longer need on-premise servers for many applications. This combined with consolidation and the growing use of virtualization, especially among the larger MBs, is reducing the growth rate of server shipments.
Secondly, the demand for storage products will also follow the server demand. In addition, the increasing use of the cloud for backup and storage is reducing the need for on-premise storage hardware and software.
While part of the SMB server and storage demand will shift toward the cloud service providers, their multi-tenancy models would prevent them from fully offsetting the decline in total SMB server shipments. Thus, the SMB server market will be pulled in two different directions: toward smaller, less powerful and less expensive servers driven by first-time server buyers and toward more powerful servers by the larger SMBs as they consolidate their servers and use virtualization on a broader scale.
The third shift taking place relates to mobile devices. With applications hosted in the cloud, some SMB employees no longer need the full functionality of the bulky notebook PCs as they can meet their needs using lighter devices like netbooks, smartphones and tablets. These lighter mobile devices have shown significant increase in penetration and ownership among SMBs. Notebook shipments, which have been growing a brisk pace for the last few years as businesses replaced their desktops with notebooks, are likely to see lower growth rates, followed by a long-term decline in the coming years.
Comment from Anil Miglani, SVP of IT Infrastructure and Managed Services Research at AMI-Partners: These changes in demand for hardware will also be accompanied by similar changes in demand for other on-premise products (e.g. security, networking, software, etc.) over the next several years. Going forward, vendors and channel partners need to understand these shifts in demand patterns and start reflecting them in their own future strategic initiatives. While a majority of SMBs are using cloud services in conjunction with their existing applications and services, a small but growing number are using them to replace their on-premise infrastructure. This is especially true for cloud services like CRM, hosted email, hosted SharePoint and others. This has started to affect demand for ICT infrastructure required to run these applications. The full impact of this shift will be seen much more visibly over the next couple of years, once the replacements/upgrades are completed and also more SMBs start moving their on-premise applications to the cloud.

Cybersecurity Measures Are Hurting Productivity In Federal Agencies
A recent survey on the impact of government cybersecurity measures on federal managers has found that many believe they are inhibited by cybersecurity at their agencies in the areas of information access, computing functionality, and mobility. The Obama administration has made cybersecurity a priority in the federal government, but executives report that obstacles caused by cybersecurity measures translate into a reduction of productivity and their ability to achieve their agency's mission.
Key findings:
-- A majority of federal executives (84 percent) report that cybersecurity measures are affecting their productivity. Key challenges include: discouraging mobility, inhibiting access to information, reducing computer functionality and response time.
-- Over half of respondents (56 percent) indicated that cybersecurity restrictions prevent them from getting information or using applications related to their job.
When cybersecurity restrictions prevent federal executives from accessing information they need for their job, they regularly resort to alternative - and often less secure - methods of accessing it.
Lack of access and diminished computer performance as a result of cybersecurity negatively impacts productivity for federal executives. Over half of those surveyed report that cybersecurity restrictions have prompted them to access information from home instead of the office.
Comment from Tom Simmons, area vice president - US Public Sector, Citrix Systems, Inc.: This survey makes clear the challenges the public sector faces every day when it comes to the delicate balance of cybersecurity and productivity. Today, there is really no need for any trade-off, particularly when we consider the availability of secure, FIPS-compliant, Common Criteria-certified virtualization technologies. Industry can truly help government realize high-level data security with no loss of performance, mobility or productivity.
Comment from Bryan Klopack, Director of Research for GBC: The study spotlights the significant trade-off agencies are making in implementing cybersecurity measures which negatively affect workforce productivity. Surveyed federal executives believe that cybersecurity policies and procedures should be modified to provide more emphasis on the importance of allowing federal managers to achieve their agency's mission.
