2013 will be an important year for the adoption and acceptance of cloud computing within corporate IT strategies.
In the past, there was much debate over as security, reliability governance, compliance and other issues when it came to the adoption of cloud solutions. But now, the cloud computing market has matured and IT professionals are much more educated on the realities of working in the cloud.
As a result, we’re now seeing a shift where cloud-based solutions are increasingly considered to be a standard option… and many IT departments even have portions of their budgets allocated specifically to the cloud.
One area which is expected to grow especially strongly this year would be cloud storage. Companies require on-demand solutions in order to tackle challenges such as data growth, backup and disaster recovery planning.
One attractive aspect of cloud storage has to do with the fact that it can be implemented incrementally. Low-priority storage can be outsourced first in order to test the concept, and then it can be gradually expanded as the concept becomes more proven.
TwinStrata recently conducted a market survey in order to evaluate the attitudes and experiences of the IT market. The study focused on groups which were considered to be “cloud friendly”, and provide special insight into the future of the cloud computing market… with a special focus on cloud storage.
