The 2016 State of Cloud IT Report by BetterCloud
The Cloud Changes Everything
Work as we know it is transforming. Today, all businesses are technology enabled, regardless of size, industry, or location. But merely using technology no longer guarantees you remain competitive. As digital natives flood the global workforce, businesses are met with a decision: resist new norms or provide the latest technology to their employees.
We are in the midst of a technological shift not seen since the launch of Microsoft Office and the invention of the Internet. The world of IT is at a tipping point, and at the center are IT professionals experiencing once-in-a-career shifts in their roles and responsibilities. For years, IT has been mischaracterized as solely an internal support team; if something breaks, IT is there with the fix. In 2016, IT professionals are beginning to offload their routine work to cloud software and service providers, giving them more time to focus on strategic work.
The skills required to be a successful IT professional in the modern, cloud-first workplace are far different than they once were. Cloud IT is coming of age, and its going to affect every organization and IT professional in the world, much faster than you think.
How to Find Security Breaches Before They Sink YouSkyhigh Networks

Anomalous activity that significantly deviates from normal patterns could indicate a security breach. Examples are provided of outliers that may warrant further investigation, such as a single IP address sending over 100,000 tweets in one day, an employee uploading 4.5 GB of files to an unsecured cloud service, or a manufacturing employee uploading 48.7 GB of data to an external sharing site in a single day. The document recommends monitoring for anomalous outliers to detect potential breaches early before they can seriously impact the business.
Building Enterprise Security in Hybrid Cloud discusses the challenges of implementing security in hybrid cloud environments. It outlines key areas like identity and access management, data loss prevention, web application security, database protection, encryption, patching, and intrusion detection that must be addressed. Effective security requires understanding data flows, applying proper access controls and encryption, continuous monitoring through SIEM, and maintaining strong security responsibilities between cloud providers and tenants. Security in cloud computing requires customized long-term strategies to adapt to evolving threats.

Cloud Trends for 2017 and Actions You Can Take NowRightScale

This document discusses 10 cloud trends for 2017 and actions that can be taken. The trends include: 1) Enterprises using multiple public clouds like Azure and Google Cloud; 2) Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) converging; 3) Governance becoming more important; 4) Cloud security matching on-premises security; 5) Growing use of containers with orchestration tools; 6) Emergence of serverless computing via functions as a service (FaaS); 7) Slowing price cuts from cloud providers; 8) Opportunities to reduce cloud spending by 30-45%; 9) Lack of cloud expertise being a top challenge; 10) High demand
2015 North Bridge Future of Cloud Computing Study, with Wikibon |Broadest exploration of cloud trends, cloud migration & evolution of the cloud computing sector. Survey participation was the largest to date and included responses from 38 countries. 50 collaborators supported the 5th Annual Future of Cloud Computing study, which reveals that cloud has become an accepted and integral technology. Furthermore, the study shows that despite deployment gaps among clouds, we should expect a future powered by hybrid cloud technologies. The question of whether companies are using the cloud has morphed to how deeply cloud adoption is integrated within the business. From the bottom to the top, all products and services will in some way be powered by the cloud making the promise of goods and services that have the potential to be better tomorrow than today. IT departments have reclaimed the reins on driving company technology strategy and cloud adoption as roles, skills and processes have shifted. Importantly, Were also seeing the emergence of the cloud as the only way businesses can truly get more out of their data including analyzing and executing on it real-time. On the investment front, 2015 could tip the scale from private to public capital for SaaS companies.
CompTIAs new Trends in Cloud Computing study shows that while well over 90 percent of companies still claim to use some form of cloud computing, the pace of progress appears to have slowed. In some cases, it even appears to have taken a step backwards. What accounts for this phenomenon? Why does it seem like attitudes towards cloud have cooled, even though cloud continues to be a primary factor in IT growth? Download this study today and learn more about the state of the cloud.
In 2016, cloud technologies went mainstream. But with maturity came the realization that moving to the cloud doesnt happen overnight. CIOs are prioritizing hosted computing and cloud data storage. But theyre approaching the shift as a gradual, multi-year journey.
Many startups and small businesses will continue to go all-in on cloud. But enterprises will find success in a slow but steady move from on-prem. Hybrid ecosystemsof data, software, and infrastructurewill be the reality for most established organizations.
As this shift to cloud progresses where are things are headed? This paper highlights the top cloud trends for 2017.
This document discusses the history and definitions of cloud computing. It begins with various definitions of cloud computing from Wikipedia between 2007-2009 which evolved to emphasize dynamically scalable virtual resources provided over the internet. It then covers common characteristics of cloud computing like multi-tenancy, location independence, pay-per-use pricing and rapid scalability. The rest of the document details cloud computing models including public, private and hybrid clouds. It also outlines the different architectural layers of cloud computing from Software as a Service to Infrastructure as a Service. The document concludes with a discussion of security issues in cloud computing and a case study of security features in Amazon Web Services.
North Bridge and Wikibon, announced the results of its sixth annual Future of Cloud Computing Survey, which analyzes trends in cloud computing, adoption, use and challenges on a yearly basis. The study provides the broadest and deepest exploration of cloud in the industry with 53 leading cloud companies participating as collaborators. This years survey received 1,351 responses, a record-breaking number, representing a 60/40 balance of user/vendor perspectives spanning senior executives to practitioners across all industry sectors such as Technology, F.I.R.E., Government, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Media, Professional Services and Transportation.
According to Wikibons July 2016 report based on market conditions and recent public cloud revenue results of Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, and IBM; public cloud spending is expected to accelerate rapidly, growing from $75B in 2015 to $522B by 2026 at a compound annual growth rate of 19%. Within each public cloud segment continued rapid growth rates are also expected during this period: SaaS (19% CAGR), PaaS (33% CAGR), and IaaS (18% CAGR). Wikibon estimates that by 2026, cloud will account for nearly 50% of spending related to enterprise hardware, software, and outsourcing services.
Cloud Strategy
Based on our survey, while slightly less than 50% of all companies either have a cloud first or cloud only strategy; some form of cloud strategy is pervasive among all with 90% of companies surveyed reporting that they use it in some way.
A new finding this year is the fact that a surprisingly high number, 42%, of companies surveyed derive 50% or more of their business through cloud-based applications. In fact, a whopping 79.9% of the companies surveyed were getting some revenue from the cloud. This speaks to the digital transformation occurring across many industries and how many are looking to not only move more quickly with the cloud but profit from it as well.

This document presents an introduction to cloud computing. It defines cloud computing as using remote servers and the internet to maintain data and applications. It describes the characteristics of cloud computing including APIs, virtualization, reliability, and security. It discusses the different types of cloud including public, private, community, and hybrid cloud. It also defines the three main cloud stacks: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). The benefits of cloud computing are reduced costs, improved accessibility and flexibility. Cloud security and uses of cloud computing are also briefly discussed.
