What are your thoughts on the way the whole Cloud/Managed Services market has developed to date, with particular reference to engaging end users?
The cloud / managed services market really crossed a chasm in the last two years becoming a main stream option for clients of any size, but especially in the Small & Medium Business segment. Recent research demonstrates that 40% of Enterprises will spend more than one-third of their IT budget on Managed Services and Cloud in 2013. This tidal shift in how IT is consumed is reshaping the entire IT-industry as we know it.
More specifically, how would you characterise the Public Cloud market to date?
The public cloud market is extremely fast developing, driven both by new entrant solutions and by established software vendors making their solution available on the public cloud. On the client side we have seen a growing acceptance of public cloud solutions over the last two years, resulting in an increasing supply of and interest in vendor solutions.
What about Private Cloud – is this a helpful term for end users?
Cloud crosses a chasm
DCS talks to Simon Porter, Vice President - Mid Market Sales, Europe, at IBM, about the cloud market general, how end users can best engage with potential Cloud solution suppliers, and IBM’s Cloud strategy to date and into the future.
