Cloud\/Business Alignment<\/a><\/h2>\n\nA total of 28% of IT execs are planning to deploy private computing clouds<\/strong> by the end of 2009, according to the survey results.<\/p>\n…<\/p>\n
The survey, conducted by grid and cloud provider Platform<\/a> Computing, detected a major stumbling block for deployment: 76% of the IT executives believe that business decision makers don’t understand the potential value of private clouds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n…<\/p>\n
With 67% of the polled IT executives saying they plan to run cloud simulation and modeling applications<\/strong>, the respondents said their top application choices would be Web services<\/a> and business analytics.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nAlso, see the news around Evan recent survey about cloud adoption among developers<\/a>, including this fun quote slipped in from me:<\/p>\n\nHowever, as cloud development evolves, and as hybrid public\/private clouds emerge, there may be a business risk in cloud migration strategies, according to Cote.<\/p>\n
“The buying community is setting themselves up for another cloud spending moment once they decide public clouds are okay and move from private clouds,” Cote said. “While security and regulatory concerns are very real, companies would do well to spend time asserting how they might skip some of their computing needs over the public clouds and avoid paying twice for everything.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
