IT groups are growing their use of public cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS) for a variety of purposes, such as disaster recovery, systems development, and, increasingly, for production systems. This report quantifies the current adoption and investment trends for IaaS, as well as the benefits driving adoption and the buyer concerns holding it back. We assess these trends by organization size, sector, and region. We also look at the return on investment and total cost of ownership experience of those who have adopted IaaS and conclude with practical advice for IT leaders seeking to gain support for IaaS investments.
