Private remains the most popular use case &ndash; 50% of respondents said they had deployed private cloud for between one and three years &ndash; while hybrid is certainly on the rise, with one in 10 deploying within the last year.<\/p>\n<p>Almost two third (65%) of respondents said using the cloud had led to increased speed of access to technology, while a similar number (67%) experienced reduced delivery times to clients and partners.<\/p>\n<p>Yet this doesn&rsquo;t explain the full story. More than half (57%) of respondents admit they have migrated data back in-house from the cloud. Not surprisingly, it&rsquo;s security and data protection they&rsquo;re concerned about. Of the application structure in organisations polled, only two in five (39%) apps are ready to move to the cloud &ndash; and as a result companies are primarily relying on private cloud.<\/p>\n<p>However 94% said their organisations would be more partial to using hybrid cloud is the connections within publicly-used internet structure could be made more predictable.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This independent research shows that the cloud has exited the hype cycle and entered the real adoption phase for businesses globally,&rdquo; said Julie Woods-Moss, CMO at Tata Communications. &ldquo;It is now a strategic investment and a competitive differentiator.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>You can find the full report (email required) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tatacommunications.com\/cloud\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(c)iStock.com\/ferlistockphoto<br \/>\n85% of respondents in a Tata Communications survey say that cloud computing had lived up to industry hype in their experience, with 23% saying cloud had exceeded their expectations.<br \/>\nIncreased productivity was the most popu&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12583","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/50"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12583"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12583\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12583"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12583"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12583"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
