Insights from an IDG Connect survey of 625 Entreprise IT decision-makers. Cloud computing is increasing IT leaders choice in deployment, sourcing and network models. For many, it's not clear what the next stage of their cloud adoption journey should be, or what challenges IT leaders will have to overcome to continue to innovate. To understand the changing enterprise data centre and IT infrastructure strategies, Interxion commissioned IDG Connect to survey 625 IT decision-makers across Europe. On this webinar on the 18th February we shared the insights of this survey, to help you make the right decisions and cut through the complexity of the cloud adoption journey. Discussion topics included: To what extent is enterprise cloud adoption becoming a reality in 2015? Which cloud adoption model will prevail? What will the role of data centres be in the cloud era? How will on-premise and cloud-based IT infrastructure be connected? What will cloud 2020 look like?

SUMMARY

16. 16
IN SUMMARY
• The cloud computing era of IT is dawning, creating a new IT reality where multi-
sourcing of compute resources is becoming the norm.
• Enterprise cloud adoption is accelerating, however for most companies (with legacy IT)
it is a transition over time.
• The research shows that hybrid IT dominates today’s reality as well as the mid-to-long-
term future.
• PaaS is becoming an increasingly important cloud adoption model enabling the business.
• Connectivity between on-premise (data centre) and off-premise (cloud) is a key
requirement for acceleration of cloud adoption.
• Based on networking concerns (e.g. security, performance), many companies are
bypassing the public Internet for business applications.
• Direct connect services could break these barriers of cloud adoption.
• Resulting in a 69% increase of workloads in the cloud.
• The ideal place for Enterprises to architect their Hybrid IT solutions is a colocation data
centre, providing direct access to cloud access points, WAN & Internet providers, private
cloud providers and Internet exchanges.
