“The customers who are enjoying the greatest success with
cloud are taking a hybrid approach to IT. Instead of building
internally or sourcing externally, these customers view cloud as
a continuous set of interconnected and interdependent options.
Cisco’s Intercloud strategy is built on connecting the world of
many clouds to create new revenue streams, optimize business
processes, and simplify operations.”

"This next wave of cloud computing that's revenue

suffering IT execs. If they can offload tedious but
necessary cost-center functions, and refocus
resources on cloud-driven new business, they might
be able to re-take their seat at the C-table."

“Most businesses consider contracts, partner agreements, sales

to be protected at all costs. But every day employees
unwittingly put that content at risk by storing it in consumer

“Agility, reduction in capital expenditures, and reduced operating
expenditures -- in almost 100% of situations—have been the

We also expect to see cloud adoption increase as a result of the
recent explosion in big data analytics, mobile, and next-gen web

"Cost, scalability and agility have made cloud computing
strategic to business success. But cloud adoption also
significantly increases business management complexity. To
embrace the full strategic potential of the cloud, executive
teams must find new ways to assert the necessary business
controls to address reliability, provisioning, security, and
regulatory and compliance needs."

“The rise of SaaS, aside from its numerous advantages, has taught
companies about the dangers of unintegrated technology siloes.
Leading PaaS providers must address this obstacle by offering
baked-in integration capabilities.
This will enable businesses not only benefits from best-in-class
cloud solutions, but also from the flexibility and agility to connect
with existing SaaS and on-premise solutions.”
@LOUGUERCIA @SCRIBESOFT

Rob Walters, CTO
“Business managers commonly circumvent lengthy procurement
processes and use the cloud to deploy new apps or launch time-
sensitive campaigns faster. This can cause headaches for IT
departments that have to maintain security and regulatory
compliance. The most successful companies are finding ways to
reap the benefits of the cloud – agility, efficiency and cost
savings – while integrating security and governance best
practices to ensure they’re driving business growth without
undue risk.” @engineyard @ENGINEYARD

"It seems we're seeing further confirmation that more of what
enterprises do with IT and technology is moving to the cloud,
regardless of their industry or vertical,' said 451 Research
Senior Analyst Jay Lyman. 'The growth of hybrid cloud in
particular indicates more organizations are seeking to formalize
and standardize early, public cloud use that has not fully
addressed security, compliance and regulatory, integration and
other concerns of these enterprise organizations.”
