From the results, there are plenty companies that work with Cloud services already, and more are planning to deploy. What is interesting is the 19%, because it says more about their own business structure where they don’t feel that computers or networking are making an impact. Where they will be in a year from now is critical, because it is estimated that 84% of new software will be SaaS. And 75% of the software built by 2017 will be PaaS.

The Hybrid Cloud will be growing where in five years it will be significant. The hybrid will be a combination of private cloud and public cloud operations.

At this time then, what is keeping business from adopting the cloud? Two things. Complexity and Pricing. Either the businesses don’t have the technical staff to adopt the cloud, or the pricing may be higher than they expect or can afford. Some businesses see a lack of transparency in the operations as holding them back. The standards for operations may not be clear, and a there is the perception of a lack of integration tying the base technology with the Cloud technology.

The results of the survey tend to support the main points of cloud computing. It will continue to grow and software will change significantly in the future because of it. Right now there are multiple reasons that are keeping more business from adding to the Cloud base. But as more companies integrate their services, those reasons will fall by the way side. After all, not every business believed that the internet would be important.
