The True State of Cloud AdoptionJames Staten, VP and Principal AnalystCharlie Dai, Principal Analyst
The True State of Cloud – Q4 20131. Most cloud adoption is Public and driven by the business, not IT
• Empowered developers, business units driving public cloud use• Heaviest investments are in SaaS• Majority of cloud platform apps are “systems of engagement,” SaaS integrations
2. Private clouds remain a work in progress• 32% of APAC enterprise IT shops prioritized it in 2013
• But their efforts are slow and mostly cloud-washed virtualization• Higher adoption of Virtual Private Clouds than internal clouds
3. Hybrid cloud is now, not future• Hybrid cloud = a cloud service connected to anything• Not just public cloud + private cloud• Key question: Is your strategy starting from this reality?

We are confused about the vendor offering and what is really being delivered
as-a-service
We cannot manage secu-rity to our strict standards
We cannot manage compliance and risk to
our strict standards
Our legacy applications cannot be moved to a pub-
lic cloud infrastructure
We cannot find SaaS applications that meet
our needs
We cannot figure out how to set up a contract that
fully protects us
We are not comfortable with volatile per-use pric-
ing models
We do feel the technol-ogy/model is not fully
mature
We do not want to use small startup vendors
We have not fully depre-ciated our current hard-
ware/software
We do not have the vendor management expertise to
effectively govern the suppliers
It's not clear whether pub-lic as-a-service offerings can be used as a substi-tute or replacement for traditional IT services/
outsourcing
