62% of IT Professionals Surveyed Already Have at Least One Private Cloud Project Underway or Plan to Launch in 2011
The recent survey by Evolven reveals the momentum growing among IT professionals for private cloud technology and enthusiasm how it can impact the performance of data center operations.
- (1888PressRelease) July 19, 2011 - Evolven Software, supplier of the breakthrough change and configuration analytics solution for the modern data center and cloud, announced today survey results showing that a majority of IT professionals have launched at least one private cloud project in their organization or are planning to launch a private cloud initiative in 2011.
The global survey was carried out by Evolven during a recent event conducted with Forrester Research. This survey reflects the enthusiasm shown by IT professionals for private clouds, underscoring the need to address IT configuration management processes and technology to maintain stability for private cloud infrastructures.
The surveyed audience included CIOs, IT Directors, Configuration Managers, Release Managers, System Operations Architects, and Change Managers from many Global 2000 organizations.
The attendees responded to the question: Is your company planning to launch a private cloud initiative in 2011? The participants could choose from the following response options with the results being:
34% We already have one or more projects underway
2% Yes definitely
13% Under consideration as of now
13% We may evaluate it in H2/2nd half of this year
38% No, we have higher priorities
"These reactions reinforce the perception that private cloud is gaining traction as the foundation for the modern data center," says Sasha Gilenson, CEO of Evolven, "yet IT organizations still face major challenges in preparing their infrastructure to meet this need. The transition to on-premise private cloud-based IT delivery actually represents a dramatic shift for most IT organizations, and this transition is fraught with a number of risks. The growth of private clouds means more support for dynamically changing environment architectures and configurations, and this will require automated configuration management processes that focus on control components."
