Goldman Report: Cloud Enablers Will Win IT Budget Dollars

cloud-buying-penetration-3yrsThis week’s Goldman Sachs Report “A Paradigm Shift for IT: The Cloud,” gives us a view into IT decision maker attitudes about cloud computing and where enterprise workloads will be processed in the future.

Over the next three years a majority of compute workloads will migrate from  non-cloud on-premises  infrastructure to a hybrid public/private cloud ecosystem. Cloud means scale up in real-time to process data and then scale down when the work is done. No wasted compute power sitting idle.

The winners will be the companies that early on figured out how to harness the cloud infrastructure as a service for SaaS delivery and those that provide enabling technologies to help IT buyers get more value for their IT budget dollars. Sonian’s Universal Data Management cloud-powered platform is one such example of putting the cloud to good use today, solving the information governance pain point in a modern, secure, reliable and efficient manner.

Interesting Number of the Week: 50,000

week-stat-50-ec2-launchesRightScale has published their estimates of daily EC2 launches. It’s really impressive to see these stats and know that Sonian is contributing to the cloud-scale initiative. Organizations of all sizes can benefit from “cloud bursting” capabilities when extra CPU is needed to process big data sets. Virtual Private Cloud techniques enable on-demand cloud infrastructure to be a virtual extension of an enterprise data center without sacrificing security.
