Of the main public cloud providers, Amazon Web Services (58%) not altogether surprisingly is the most popular among survey respondents, followed by Microsoft Azure (43%) and Google Cloud Platform (13%).<\/p>\n<p>Yet the research found organisations lack advanced visibility, monitoring and infrastructure control in their public cloud environments. 82% of those polled said they were unable to ensure optimum performance, health, and availability of their public cloud workloads, while almost half (46%) said they did not know how to, or simply do not, proactively monitor their workloads.<\/p>\n<p>This, of course, could spell danger &ndash; and for many organisations, it already has. Half of firms polled said they have experienced at least one complete network outage in the past 12 months, with more than a quarter (27%) saying they have had more than two hours of downtime per event. On average, organisations lose about $3.9 million &ndash; approximately $12,000 per minute &ndash; annually as a result of network outages.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;As hybrid IT and multicloud usage becomes mainstream for organisations, so does the need to simplify workload visibility and management for IT teams,&rdquo; said Dave Link, ScienceLogic CEO. &ldquo;Without this deep visibility of dependencies, organisations risk losing millions per year due to network outages that could have been prevented or shortened with the use of monitoring tools.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>According to figures from Synergy Research <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cloudcomputing-news.net\/news\/2015\/sep\/17\/public-cloud-generating-more-20bn-quarterly-it-companies\/\">back in September<\/a>, the public cloud continues to make significant inroads into the overall IT market, generating almost &pound;13 billion in quarterly revenues for IT firms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(c)iStock.com\/AnthiaCumming<br \/>\nPublic cloud adoption will continue to grow at a rapid pace, but a lack of understanding will prohibit adoption in some organisations, according to the latest research from hybrid IT monitoring provider ScienceLogic.<br \/>\nThe res&#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-18901","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18901","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=18901"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18901\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18902,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18901\/revisions\/18902"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18901"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18901"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
