Main Reason

"Potential benefits of cloud include cost savings and other capabilities, such as agility, innovation and time to market. It is often the latter that is the real impetus. These benefits are often less quantifiable, but are more and more commonly cited as the true drivers and value of cloud." — David Mitchell Smith, Gartner Fellow

Public Cloud Is Being Deployed to Support Agility


Cloud Transition to Reality

• For most organizations, the dialogue around public cloud has transitioned relatively quickly from extreme skepticism — stemming from concerns about performance, reliability, control and risk — to a pragmatic discussion of what, when and how.

• This change has been driven by supply-side improvements from cloud service providers, by an increasingly well-informed understanding by CIOs and their businesses, and by pressure to achieve Web-scale architecture, performance and agility (given cost constraints).
