Research Objectives

This research project gathers data related to usage of the three key infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) deployment models: public, private and hybrid clouds. Cloud users, service providers and technology vendors will all gain unique and valuable insights on current and emerging preferences and usage patterns, as well as key challenges across all three IaaS deployment models.

Some of the questions that will be addressed:

• The importance of each type of IaaS cloud to overall IT strategy
• The importance of various attributes that are unique to each type of IaaS cloud
• What application lifecycle activities are performed on which type of cloud
• Which types of applications and services are deployed on which type of cloud
• The challenges associated with each type of cloud

Methodology

Neovise screened 822 respondents and surveyed 161 IT decision makers on the actual experiences their organization’s have had with public, private and hybrid clouds.

Some of the key aspects of our research methodology for this project included:

• Survey respondents are primarily U.S. based IT leaders and professionals
• They come from organizations of all sizes and across all industry verticals
• Background data was gathered for each respondent – including vertical industry, company/organization size, regions of operation, and more – so that trends and patterns across different sub-groups can be readily identified
• Some respondents also participated in telephone interviews to provide additional depth
