2009 Global Survey of Cloud Computing
Common Network Security Misconceptions: Firewalls Exposed
Executives around the globe are facing a conundrum. In the midst of widespread economic turmoil, a recent global survey of C‐level executives and IT decision‐makers shows a clear, collective mandate: use technology to cut the cost of doing business. Moreover, these decision‐makers widely recognize a new technology option, Cloud Computing, as a viable way to reduce capital expenditures and operational costs. Cloud computing refers to the delivery of software and other technology services over the Internet by a service provider.
As the economy teeters on uncertain ground, however, these leaders – many of whom consider themselves as early adopters of technology – are turning a blind eye to the potential business benefits of cloud computing. They are unwilling to switch from internally owned and managed IT systems to cloud computing technologies due to fears of security threats and loss of control over company systems and data.
An independent market research firm, Kelton Research, completed a large‐scale survey of cloud computing adoption in January 2009 commissioned by Avanade Inc. Key findings and data‐points that support these trends are outlined in this report.
